Talk:Tree Dwarf (5e Subrace)

Douse Fire

I made a mechanical change to the Douse Fire ability when I did an otherwise cosmetic formatting and readability pass through this because there was an existing magic option that fit pretty well, and the original wording had some interpretation problems when I was trying to clean it. The additional line below was also considered, but leaving in the ability to make shapes in the fire or change it's brightness output doesn't seem to conflict with the intent.

"a tree dwarf can douse a fire, even a building sized fire within 100 yards in the period of 1 minute. During the first round the fire is retarded and no longer spreads, after that it burns out."

"You know the Control Flames cantrip, but cannot use it to expand flames when cast with this trait."

vs considered

"You know the Control Flames cantrip, but can only use it to extinguish flames when cast with this trait."

This seems like such a fun subrace to play and integrate into a campaign, I had to give it some love. Atlas (talk) 14:59, 2 March 2023 (MST)
