Save the World Meta Thread 2

I quote verbatim from the site where I read.

"Draugar apparently began as a incorporeal spirit (the word actually means ghost), but at one point in the early mythology he acquired corporeal bodies through the stone, to inflate their bodies to enormous dimensions, to control their time, to see the future, to control their time, for the future, a cat that can increase or decrease its weight, a troll, a seal, a large skinned bull and a gray horse with a broken back "

I mean... D&D has a bunch of stuff that is magic and conisdered magical.

There are things that aren't effected such as Ki or innate magic. If the creature itself is made of magic, born from magic, etc they should be fine.

This is why Dragons in dnd are immune to anti-magic and can still do magic stuff.
 
Right. I'm just pointing out there's a difference between "what dnd considers magic" and "everything supernatural".
 
Actually, DND magic is crazy wide, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being "Everything supernatural"
 
I'm pretty sure the only real thing DND doesn't consider magical in the sense of the beholder nulling it is big beasts like dragons and their physical attributes
 
@Grey

Dragon's breath doesn't get nulled because it's a biological attack, which is also why anti-magic shield aren't effctive against it

Also the innate spell caasting of litches gets nulled.

@Faruel

Just because it's not straight up said what the Draugr uses to do it's powers, it doesn't mean you should assume it's not affected

aslo conisdering it comes from norse mythology, it's likely just magic.
 
Edit: Sorry I misread

Liches have innate Spell Casting, Spell Casting means it doesn't have it as a part of their physiology they can cast spells but that's conjuring magical energy vs having it already in them
 
"the concentrated magical energy that is contained in a magic item or channeled to create a spell or other focused magical effect"

Stuff like this is negated, the fact a Draugr is "alive" isn't negated.

You said they don't have any type of energy like that @Faruel?
 
@Faruel

Yes, he's pretty magical and like i said itself will not get nulled, but the 2magic" used to use it's abilties will
 
Okay, so is it fine if I play as an already existing character or...?

BTW, I'd like to join later, if more PCs are accepted later on.
 
@ Overlord775

I have inquired, apparently the anti-magic cone of Beholder can undo the powers of Draugr ... but not the magical artifacts, so nothing prevents me from using an enchanted weapon with Draugr's weather manipulation to do the techniques that I have listed.

And before you ask, yes ... summoning the storm is a magical skill of Draugr ... but the storm is a normal storm, so it's not considered magical
 
It explicitly says "magical energy" which is not contained in the artifact.

I had asked the question about Beholder and the nullification of Draugr's powers on a DnD reddit thread and was told that anti-magic cone does not affect artifacts and gods.
