It should exist. Like, flat up, there is a reason that it exists and it's not to fuck a party out of loot. It's flat "all magic in this area is dead" and that is required in certain circumstances.

I can only hope we never get hit by it. We have so many permanencied buffs and magic items we'd lose in one fell swoop.

The solution is called a Mythal.
Also turning all of our major items into Artefacts.
Speaking of which, I've been tossing around an idea for Lya's crown that I think would be thematically artefact worthy. I'll see about writing out a basic idea for the fluff later today, so we can start arguing about mechanics

@DragonParadox, when do we get our daemon cultist sacrifices?

Is there any way to apply the same principle to buffs? My hope was that at a certain point after we put in the right amount of effort we could just stop worry about losing the buffs.The solution is called a Mythal.

Ugh, Mythals. I dislike the concept, implementation, and inevitability of their corruption or destruction.The solution is called a Mythal.

Ah, D&D is so good.
Has anyone read the alignment guides over on GiTPG? The guide to lawful evil sounds like something that Azel would love, for example.
You should all really read them! They're entertaining!
Well the guide to chaotic evil starts with a disclaimer ("I'm going to be going into character as an evil psychopath for this article, but I'm not really evil IRL !") and then it immediately quotes Atlas Shrugged.
Satisfaction.

You'd figure a red dragon would roast his own meals
Do you make an actual attack roll then?
And a ballista bolt isn't Tiny. Furthermore, you are now insisting it deals more damage than a ballista bolt, when it couldn't deal damage at all.

Collateral damage is a thing though

The general principle of a Mythal is to tie all of our buffs into a permanent Epic magic effect, shared between the entire party. This will resist Disjunction, or at least it should. There's also the fact that our items do get will saves (at our save) vs being unmade. It's part of Disjunction that isn't usually noticed.
A proper Mythal will take Lya actual months to put together, though. And casting it will be...um...fun.

If your assumption that the Golden Shields would do that isn't true, the scheme fails completely. And they even have to buy a Golden Shield went all the way to Crackclaw Point.

Yes, it requires a Ranged Attack roll. I was arguing for 4d6 damage rather than 3d6 damage, but I wouldn't be upset if it stayed 3d6.You'd figure a red dragon would roast his own meals

And like I said, DP already gave his approval for the Launchers, limiting them to 10 pound payloads, including Light Ballista bolts.

3d6 is already pushing it, ballots bolts aren't exactly shapeless lumps.
Well, it's just an extra compact magical ballista then?

@DragonParadox, for the sake of record-keeping, how big is Sheepstealer?

Yes, exactly. Compact, light, and with no moving parts. You load a bolt, point, then shoot, up to a range of 440 feet for the most basic version, but with no Range Increment or increment penalties. It can also delivery Alchemical payloads.
Huge sized though on the low end of that.

We know of Lannister activity in the Crownlands and we give them very little in regards to intel, so it's a bit hard for them to discount this on the spot.
More or less. You are trading range and price for compactness. This one caps out at 800 ft range.

23 pages between the first update of yesterday and today's.
You are assuming there's no formal or at least informal agreement the Lannisters the Citadel. Or that a Golden Shield Mage would be allowed to antagonize it just like that.
It's a bad plan, it hinges on information we have no real hint about, and on them buying it in the first place. The Lord is an avowed loyalist.
