A Shrine to Lies
Added 2025-08-26 16:35:47 +0000 UTCAlright, the Darkness-spammers are here to party; Devils have a huge natural advantage in darkness, so it just makes sense to keep some squidlocks around to ink the place up. More even than that, though, these warlocks are built around looking and feeling powerful, around making sure that when they take an action, something of consequence happens. Can't be making the boss look bad, after all.
Their level 3 feature does make Darkness a viable spell up through higher levels, but they still do benefit either from eventually multiclassing for 2nd level spell slots, or from higher level 3rd party darkness spells (of which I do have a few).
As a reminder to DMs, though, action scenes where the PoV characters can't see aren't usually all that exciting. These can make for a really cool encounter, but if you're gonna keep using them you should give your players ways to work around the darkness.

With very few exceptions, my monsters don't have spell slots; if casts are limited it'll state that in the stat block. Their magic often has spell levels though because of counterspell and dispel magic.

2025-08-31 01:09:42 +0000 UTCIs the intention with monster actions like Asmodeus' listed as "Level 9 Spell" that they can only be used once each per combat? Or is it unlimited because he's CR 44 Asmodeus? Lol. Why do we use that language when monsters dont have spell slots?
