Realm of Chaos mechanics/clarification questions

Unread post by narcissus »

What happens if someone saves against Realm of Chaos? Do they get transported to the nightmarish dimension but not have a foe to fight (and can thus help their friends that failed the save), or do they not get transported at all?

If they don't get transported, does everyone else just disappear from in front of their eyes, returning when the spell elapses?

What if everyone in the area saves? Does the mage get transported there by himself and just ride out the duration?

The ones that save vs the magic, in my opinion, are left behind when the RoC spell goes off.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

Since the spell has to affect you to teleport you I would agree that a save means not successful at all. On the other hand if I had a player who made his saving throw by like one or 2 I might teleport him and have him face a wing-tip or a particularly cranky swan.

it read as a temporary dimensional pocket with specific qualities.

Come to think of it, this seems like a scary way to steal away all the weaklings some greater being is trying to protect. That might be a greater threat than harming the greater being directly
