I was thinking of that as a house rule for Mutants and Masterminds (which has a similar system, but is much more generous with the reroll). I think it’s better if you don’t feel like you wasted the Hero Point because you rolled low.

That said, it works best if it’s a success/fail type thing. I understand pathfinder has a lot of things with critical success and critical failure. I guess you get it back if you don’t score better?

It depends. Did I learn Gentle Repose, and is that staff worth more than 2,500 gp?

I see no reason it wouldn’t. It’s not casting or concentrating on a spell. My question: does it take the damage instead before or after your damage resistance is applied?

My point is that since it’s not using specific D&D terminology, it should just be taken to mean literally any spell targeting only you. Which Dragon’s Breath is, so long as you cast it on yourself.

While mounted on it, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target the mount.

It doesn’t say “targets self”. It says “targets only you”.

It’s already a celestial, a fey, or a fiend rhino. Given that, having wings isn’t surprising.

That sounds entirely reasonable. Why the meme?

Edit: Does “targets you only” mean it has to have a target of self, or just that in this casting it is only targeting you? I’m thinking cast Dragon’s Breath on yourself and share it with your steed, and now both of you get a breath weapon.

They’re talking about verbal and somatic components. That spell doesn’t have material components.

Sending doesn’t have a range limit, and explicitly works across planes 95% of the time.

The big question here is what mechanically is them. Spells like Revivify target a dead creature, which means if the corpse isn’t the creature the spell won’t work. But there’s also no rule that dead creatures can’t talk or take actions or whatever, so you’d still be able to use Sending or just ask them normally. But that’s assuming they are a creature. The section on improvised weapons says that a dead goblin is an Object. If dying turns a Creature into an Object, then it could no longer take actions. But there’s also nothing saying that Creature and Object are mutually exclusive. maybe a corpse is both?
