minus-squareKhanzarate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up81·1 month agoLet the people die. The staff of the Magi explodes when its destroyed in a 30’ radius. The people are dead either way, the staff can be saved.
minus-squarecjoll4@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoI think the Retributive Strike has to be an intentional action by the attuned wielder. I don’t think damage from external sources triggers it, even if it breaks the staff.
minus-squarebearoftheisle@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoRAW I agree with you, but since it also explodes if you overcharge it I’d probably flavor rule that it explodes if it breaks too.
