Goos times all around. Hi Jeff C. Ran this last week for my group and we all had a great time. Thank you for the adventure - and honestly Thank you, Sir! So I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but I think its a pretty big oversight.
But there is literally no bard spell or bard cantrip that makes an attack roll until 5th level animate objects. This seems pretty useless as every spell and cantrip that does damage has the targets making saving throws.
Hi there, I had a question for you. I ran the first half of Tasha's Kiss for one of my groups and I was really unsure as to how the mirror maze encounter was supposed to work. I am running it again for a different group this week, and I was wondering if there was any additional information for this encounter? Is there a way to get them to have to touch the mirrors, such as dexterity saves if they try to rush through the maze as opposed to taking their time? It notes in the adventure that after 10 minutes, they start making madness saves, is this based off the standard 6 second rounds or some other way of keeping time?
