Well gee, if only Strahd had a way to put something off this plane of existence. The caveat on Sword Bond is that the weapon must be on the same Plane of Existence as the EK. The tactical goal here is "Isolate the sunsword wielder so we can take out his friends, then bury him in enemies that are immune to sunlight to finish him off. You can't disarm the EK effectively, but you can toss the EK in a river, off a cliff, or just have a durable grapple monster tackle him and take him for a drag. Solution? Relocate the bubble of sunny death. You have a bubble of sunny death in the way of Strahd and his vampires. They can curse your weapons, your ability to wield those weapons, or just curse you when you're using a particular weapon. By old AD&D2E lore, Vistani can curse you basically any way they want. So I would actually (and do) rule the opposite from what the sage advice says - fog cloud makes sense, Darkness does not, against the Sunsword.Īnd here we go with some 'creative' options.ĭon't do any one of these too often, or your EK will hate you. So RAW, both block the sunsword, except that I interpret the actual effects of Darkness to block nonmagical light and dispel low level magical light, so since it can’t dispel the Sunsword and I would rule the Sunsword as magical light, I would say the Darkness spell wouldn’t work. You can choose to use this or not, but I think it’s silly because it contradicts the wordings involved.Īccording to RAW, both Darkness and Fog Cloud apply heavily obscured which blinds those inside. Per Mike Mearls via Sage Advice, Darkness would block the sunsword and fog cloud wouldn’t. So I often don’t apply what they say if I think it just doesn’t make sense. Sometimes Mike Mearls and James Crawford disagree on it (ex: magic missile forcing concentration checks, one sage advice said it applied multiple concentration checks and another sage advice said it didn’t). Sage Advice is not official, it’s basically RAI from the creators.
