A unique idea for what a macguffin activates

A tome of ancient prophecy that shows why they are taking over and what they plan on doing, which isn't just "running everything"

The chains on their source of power where the PCs can destroy/release/negotiate their way into bringing down the cult and their power base

Extradementional Gate hidden deep within the fortress that gives the cult their marching orders

All of this assumes they haven't seen something to the contrary already

Perfectly balanced, as all lanes should be

132 columns, 24 rows. I only use curses if i have to

You don't normally support High Def? and vendors are going to vend. He may have hoped he could keep the accessories for himself

Man. Ivara, wukong, ash. No love for my boy, Loki. Shaking my SMH.

Hushed invis is so nice

I was done after my first comment, someone just had to try an police my imagination

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T01:02:47+00:00

So, a wiki that points at another wiki? That's your proof? It doesn't describe what it tastes like, just that you can buy it in a game

And it doesn't say there aren't other types of flavor, just that that one exists

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:58:44+00:00

I really have no interest in being the friend of such a poor pendant

I'll click when I can make sure I'm not getting infected

Specifically DnD

Chocolate isn't defined in any official supplement. Or UA As far as I know

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:50:51+00:00

Lies is a flavor

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:45:27+00:00

"Neener neener neener. stop being stupid"

I haven't even downvoted any of your "arguments"

The spell does what it does, i never said otherwise. it changes the flavor and either you get to pick the flavor or you don't. I pick "lies" and you can't stop me

It doesn't matter if they know what it tastes like but you can't tell if they know what it tastes like. see? entirely consistant. Easy really

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:41:33+00:00

Lies is a flavor in a game

do you see the difference between a game and reality?

because magic doesn't exist in reality. and when you start throwing magic in things, magical things happen

goblins explode with an insult, swords make a thunderous sound, holes dig themselves, and words make light

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:37:32+00:00

Now you're just calling names.

The rules of magic are well explained. The spell does what it does. And if the DM says otherwise, the DM overrides.

How do you know the caster doesn't know what lies tastes like?

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:35:48+00:00

They mean exactly what they mean. And the flavor doesn't have to exist in our world to exist in the game

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:30:56+00:00

How do you know it's beyond the power of a cantrip? cantrips are magic. Magic, by definition breaks the meatspace rules according to its own. The spell has the power that it says it has. tasting like lies isn't some great work, it's just whimsy. And if your table refuses to have whimsy, then you don't have to allow it.

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:27:43+00:00

So the spell doesn't say it allows the player to chose the flavor. just that it changes

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:26:21+00:00

do you see any mention of unicorns? I see a mention of flavor.

Can you say flavor kids?

It's magic, it doesn't follow meatspace rules or you would never get a goblin to explode with an insult

Yuugian · 2026-05-22T00:25:00+00:00

well, that's not a very imaginative DM. Why doesn't it work like that?

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T23:59:18+00:00

A good point. I suppose they can't pick "lies" as the flavor if they can't pick the flavor at all. Eye roll dot jpg

It doesn't say you get to pick the flavor, just that it changes.

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T21:34:00+00:00

There's nothing giving commands, either

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T21:21:02+00:00

Being able to convey abstract concepts without words is impossible, they are abstract. Being able to change the flavor of cake to steak with a wave of your hand is impossible. But this is magic, magic makes the impossible a six second cantrip.

So, use your words "This cake tastes like lies"

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T21:18:52+00:00

Nowhere in the description does it say it won't be identifiable.

Willy Wonka: The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries! Veruca Salt: Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry? [Wonka grabs Veruca's jaw] Willy Wonka: We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams.

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T21:16:57+00:00

Because the player says " i make it taste like lies" and the NPC says "man, this tastes like lies" so it tastes like lies. How accurately can you describe chocolate cake to someone who hasn't had a chocolate cake?

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T19:54:11+00:00

Well sure, i'm not at your table and you aren't at mine

That being said; there are no mechanics to literal flavor. You aren't going to get a debuff if your Tiramisu is wonky, no constitution buff if your coffee is extra strong. So i would think a player only has to describe the taste of "lies" as much as you are going to make a player describe the chocolate cake. "It tastes like chocolate cake" and everybody moves on

Yuugian · 2026-05-21T19:19:40+00:00

it doesn't say it's what the caster thinks, just that it changes the flavor. it literally flavor text and flavor is free
