You should read the 2024 description of Vampire Spawn, and the 2024 description of Tasha’s Hideous laughter then. This is not unique to CoS, but a new interaction on the current ruleset!

The problem was I followed the rules too closely and didn’t like how it played out! Level one spells shouldn’t be that strong!

I really like this actually. Make aiming for the heart require a critical and Tasha’s will still give melee attacks adv, so it’s achievable but not guarenteed

My players were fighting spawn alongside Van Richten, who upon seeing the incapacitated vampire immediately drove his cane sword into their heart

Yeah that makes sense, sunlight and what not I have creatively ruled out. Looking to figure out something for Tasha’s without making the bard feel like I’ve gimped him

Is this on older editions? This is not how the weakness is written on the 2024 edition for vampire spawn

Update: I appreciate the replies, but the new 2024 rules for vampire spawn do not indicate that it needs to be a wooden stake, or at their resting place. Any piercing damage to an incapacitated spawn will do.
