Does Feeblemind Work On Spell Like Abilities

Di: Amelia

Does Feeblemind shut down all spellcasting abilities or just arcane spellcasting? I could see arguments for both ways. On one hand, Feeblemind says that the target can’t cast spells, due to spell so by RAW, that means all spells. I’m also assuming that having an Intelligence of 1 and not being able to speak are the causes of no longer being able to cast spells.

Does Break Enchantment work on Feeblemind though? The text states for the spell states „The subject remains in this state until a heal, any spell you want limited wish, miracle, or wish spell is used to cancel the effect of the feeblemind“. It seems quite specific about what can undo it.

Does Spell Focus Apply to Spell-Like Abilities?

Feeblemind is the BEST spell in dnd and you can't change my mind : r ...

Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a successful check, the spell ends. Notably, this does not work on effects from spells with instantaneous duration, as those spells It should be on the list. Otherwise, why should Feeblemind be so special that it gets unique exemption from Break Enchantment (which seems specifically well-designed to handle spells like Feeblemind)? Nothing about Feeblemind

Anything that paralyzes a target (hold person, icy prison, etc) reduces dex to 1. It’s not technically ability damage, but it does set the target up for instant death if you do 1 point of dex damage. component nor Mass icy prison > polar midnight will wipe the screen. I agree. Spells are not spell-like abilities nor vice versa. However, I do think an intelligence of greater than 1 is required to use any spell or spell-like ability. It doesn’t say that anywhere, of course, it doesn’t say the opposite anywhere. There’s a

Does a creature that can use spell-like abilities that simulate arcane spells suffer the -4 to a save vs. a Feeblemind spell? Spells are NOT spell-like abilities and vice versa. Therefore, creatures do NOT take the -4 penalty due to spell-like abilities. Note, however, that many creatures such as dragons and rakshasa can and do cast spells. It must be kept in mind that an Antimagic Field only suppresses a spell, it does not dispel it. What I mean by that is that a spell etc affected by the antimagic is not destroyed when it passes through an Antimagic Field. Think of it as magical destructive interference localized on one spot. While the magic cast outside of the sphere interferes with the antimagic in the field, the effect of the spell can’t be The stupidest creature with spell-like abilities in the MM is the dretch (Int 5), followed by a lantern archon (Int 6). Nto only are these much smarter, they have the whole „power of good/evil“ thing going for them.

If a spellcaster is looking away to avoid a Gaze effect, they won’t be able to Counterspell if Demogorgon casts a spell before the start of their next turn. They also won’t be able to cast any spells on him that require something like „a creature you can see“, which is an awful lot of them. Dispel Magic says it can end the spell on any creature, object, or magical effect. If you cast it at the same level as the spell, it automatically ends. If you cast at a lower level, the highest DC (for a 9th level spell) is 19 — and you add your spellcasting ability to the roll. The target does not become immune or increase the DC afted a failure, it can be attempted as many times as Two big distinctions, the first of which is not obvious from the spell description: there are spells that specify that dispel doesn’t work, but break enchantment does. A few examples I was able to find: bestow curse, black spot, unconcious agenda, old salt curse, and probably many more. While in the base rules this was somewhat ad hoc, it looks like they somewhat standardized

As an immediate action, an oolioddroo can use its feeblemind spell-like ability on the carrier—it uses this “scorched earth” tactic if it fears that the host is about to be rescued or cut off from its influence, such as occurs when the effects are ended via dispel chaos or dispel evil. How are Fiends, Celestials, dragons, etc affected by the antimagic field spell? I assume they can walk into them. Do they lose abilities, take damage, etc?

Taking Dispel Magic at 5th level is a bit overkill, but finding room for it in the next few levels I’d recommend to most anyone. Dispel Magic is reliable, useful, and a way to engage with a kind of play otherwise challenging to interface with. • Counterspell doesn’t work after the spell has been successfully cast, where Dispel magic can be used if the effects end up being worse than anticipated. • Some creatures have magical abilities that death if aren’t exactly spells but act like spells, and this works on some of those. Counterspell works on very few such abilities. My verdict is that that the Feeblemind does not persist. My reasoning is that because it is instantaneous duration, it’s one of those effects that simply does its thing, and the magic aspect of it is done, it’s no longer a magical effect past that point. It’s more like a Fireball, the effect happens, and it’s done.

Spell-Like Abilities: Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A spell-like interference localized on ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus.

My question is inspired by @HeyICanChan’s answer to this question. It seems community generally shares his wiew on the topic. I’m interested in the way creature affected by Feeblemind spell interacts with Ability Damage or Drain to its Int or Cha scores, which are rendered to 1s via the spell. Does the spell weirdly grants immunity to Ability Damage/Drain as

According to the Core Rulebook FAQ, spell-like abilities satisfy prerequisites for item crafting feats, item creation and prestige class requirements. An SLA does not, however, count as having the spell on a class list for the purpose of According to the Core Rulebook FAQ, spell-like abilities satisfy prerequisites for item crafting feats, item creation and prestige class requirements. An SLA does not, however, count as having the spell on a class list for the purpose of This is a guide that is intended to describe the usefulness of the various spells and special abilities found in Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition. Feel free of course to try all these spells and abilities yourself this is just my opinion of them all. I’ll try as well to discuss various strategies to use with different spells (especially spells that would otherwise look like garbage).

The creature can’t cast spells, activate magic items, understand language, or communicate in any intelligible way. The creature can, however, identify its friends, follow them, and even protect them. does feeblemind not work on him? I cast lower resistance and hit him with the spell. he lit up like it affected him but he just kept attacking. Nor does the list of potions in the magic item section; only the Potion of Poison has a DC, but that’s for the poisoned condition and not the initial damage. So.. is the spell’s saving throw void due to ingestion? Or is the DC set within the potion, like with a magic wand? Is it even possible to craft a potion from any spell you want?

Keep in mind that while Feeblemind will usually require a more difficult save than the other spells listed here (and works at range unlike Slay Living), it is less useful against opponents without spells or spell like abilities (animals, dire animals, constructs, some undead, fighters, rogues, etc). The saving throw (if any) against a spell-like ability is 10 + the level of the spell the ability resembles or duplicates + the creature’s Charisma modifier. Some spell-like abilities duplicate spells that work differently when cast by characters of different classes. Therefore, there’s no reason (except perhaps the label „spell-like“, which is neither here nor there, and the single phrase „work just like spells“) to suggest that spells and Sp abilities should be lumped together for all purposes.

does not affect „abilities“, only spells or some „Spell like abilities“ ie, it will not affect Paladin’s Lay on hands, Smite Evil, a bard’s song, the many touch abilities different cleric Domains can give I find this a difficult question because there are two minds in the same body, unlike similar possession spells like magic jar which removes the original soul from the body. On a related note (and if this should be a separate question, I apologize): How would spells like feeblemind work when targeting a body inhabited by more than Your Intelligence score is 19 while you wear this headband. This item unambiguously stops working as soon as you remove it from your head (or as soon as you enter an antimagic field). Another useful precedent is the spell Feeblemind, which sets a creature’s Intelligence and Charisma scores to 1 indefinitely but has a duration of

Does Feeblemind force the target to lose concentration? I’ve tried to find a ruling for this question, and can’t find it anywhere. When a character is feebleminded, the it s no longer a spell says their INT and CHA are reduced to 1, can’t activate magic items and can’t CAST spells. But it doesn’t say if they are unable to concentration on spells
