What are the rules in DnD regarding spells that pertain to trapping bigger objects into smaller space?

For example, let's say a wizard wants to trap an entire building and all its inhabitants in a cube. This cube can be transported around and even opened by anyone that knows a specific spoken password. If the cube gets opened then the building and all its inhabitants appear in a space that can be specified by the person that opened the cube, provided they can actually see it.

I am asking because I have an idea for a session in which the party stumbles upon a place that is marked as a village on their map. After some investigating they find out that a powerful wizard in a desperate attempt to save the village and all its inhabitants from the wrath of a demonic force trapped the village in spheres or cubes. The wizard was destroyed and the spheres were scattered in the surrounding region. Some of them still lie in the wilderness, untouched. Some of them were picked up by goblins that live in the surrounding mountain range, others collected by travelers as a strange curiosity and an adventuring trinket and then there are a few that found their way into the dens and caves of wild animals, maybe even horrible beasts or mystical creatures.

The adventurers will be able to collect spheres all around the region and eventually be able to piece together the village with all its inhabitants and buildings. Do you think that would be an interesting thing to do as a player?

Necromancy collapses, all remains are now appropriately claimed by the earth so no one can raise anything anymore

>>52603328
That makes sense, and I can actually use that for the main plot here.

But I'm really wondering what should happen to the players who chose to side with the Recently Unsealed Dark God of Rot that they signed up with.

>>52603652
They. Rot.

The same way you do with any other power: You add limitations and modifications, and maybe even add a touch of realism.

Super strength: Good luck lifting a car without breaking it apart.

Super Speed: That's an interesting one. Okay, so you're super fast. Too bad your perception isn't. Try to avoid running into shit. Also, you don't get any tougher than normal, so hitting someone at 400 km/s is something you do only once. You could even rip yourself apart or ignite yourself on the air resistance if you go too fast.

Flight is in most cases something that is added to other powersets, but you can even give that a twist. E.g. you can't fly, but rather drift. You jump, you keep flying until you hit an obstacle or the ground, but can't change your course until then.

I actually really like gemini engine.

I like lands that have become token creatures.

This would be awesome for my half-formian fighter.

Wasn't there a frog person race in Pathfinder? I forget what they were called.

Noteworthy: B plays a gnome in a steampunk mech. Its all fine in my setting and mechs are my newbie friendly class, being naturally great at combat.
>Party arrived at nearly deserted village on the way to Vamp's town.
>Tavern owner explains since the nearby waterfall dried up, they had a large pest problem, and the wizard hired to deal with it only succeeded in making car sized monster spider's before disappearing.
>Town now doubly fucked by pests and giant spiders, most people moved out.

Again, most of party is down for helping out, but I had to to offer financial incentive to keep the party united. I'm totally fine if the party didn't want to help the town, but the issue was half the party was going to help, but B and one other were just gonna leave the town on their own cause they didn't give a fuck about the populace in b's case and the other players character hated spiders (making it a 50/50 split as
The two basically afk players didn't even speak)

Fast forwards a bit.

>Party has done some sleuthing and found the last known location of the wizard, a dungeon. Dungeon crawl ensues.
>Tunnel too narrow for mech to fit, but I have some things up ahead that only the B's gnome can fit through, so he still feel helpful.
>B decides he just wants to sit in the mech for safety and wait for party to be done in dungeon. Keep trying to describe distant noises he can hear from the party so he doesn't feel utterly left out despite it being self imposed.

Shenanigans ensue and basically the party accidentally destroys the spiders big nest, via overloading a magical ward lathe magician had set and freezing the entire dungeon.

They barely explored 1/3 of the place I made but again, don't care, the fact they nuked the dungeon accidentally with a trap meant for them made me chuckle.

Consequences.

That is it.

If he murders some fucker, call in the fucking guards. Make him a wanted man, with a nice bounty on his head. Good people won't associate with him, bad people will want the bounty.

>spiders flee for their lives while just attacking nearby shit in panic and starvation.
>Everyone has a good bit of fun defending the town with what remains of the villagers, but I make sure to mention the battle's horrific, half the town is eaten by spiders that night.
>B even has a fun 1v1 with a giga spider, pulls a support beam out of the tavern the party's staying in and javelins the thing, amongst other things.

Sessions about to end, but I add a little more.

>Remaining locals gather around (half destroyed mostly thanks to B) tavern.
>A little rudely voice their distaste at Vamp bro. Don't trust him, think he somehow contributed to all this spider shit.
>Rather than reason with suspicious, scared, ignorant peasants, B tells villagers he'll murder anyone that touches Vamp, and that they'll be staying the night, thanks.

Next Session

>Villagers have called in local vamp hunters in response to B (secretly of course), I let the party mooch around and repair/heal/socialise as they like.
>Group of villagers confront B when they him outside his mech. Ask him why he's defending what they believe to be an abomination.
>B replies with, and I quote.
" You Fucking pussies, you can't even defend your own town, I'm allowed to keep him alive cause I like him and you all owe me for saving you, Hah you're basically my slaves."
>Half the town still died and the rest of the party also helped defend the place.
>The grieving, angry villagers lash out at B for this, with Kick. B dodged and quickly jumps into his mech, running at the villagers.
"You're going to kill us for trying to kick you??"
Straight faced, immediate answer.
"Yup..."
>Villagers flee.

Its been some sessions since then, but its basically more of the same. No one else's property, penknives, or feelings matter to B (IC, dunno about ooc), he just beat a child thief to death with the corpse of his friend last session when a merchant asked him to help with the robberies the kids were doing.

>What was the worst misstep White Wolf/Onyx Path ever made with their books?

From recent memory it would have to be the way they bungled Beast before reworking it.

>Beasts are doing bad things, but it's for a good reason and you just have to trust them, guys!
>heroes are the bad guys no matter what, went so far to compare them to male rights activists and internet trolls

I think that was the attempt to aggressively embrace SJW bullshit culture before their community told them to fuck off. Now Onyx Path does passive aggressive SJW bullshit.

Gypsy/Beast.

keep them horny, and keep them rambunctious.

They're the fantasy equivalent of dudebros that beat each other with chairs and go on dumb grand adventures with each other. How do you make that boring?

Early age pangaea from dominions 4

They drive women into hedonistic frenzies and scoop up other people to use as blood sacrifices for their magic rituals. Magic becomes wilder and chaos follows wherever they tread.

Dettol or Simple Green, depending on which country you're in. Soak, then scrub.

Nail varnish remover works as well. It melts resin models though.

>bought into the Citadel paint meme
Well, your wallet hates you, but at least you got some quality paints.

It's funny, I use the cheap ass craft acrylics myself and get plenty decent results with them. I guess I know how to thin them decently or something. I'll admit it does take longer to thin coat with them because the pigment isn't as strong, but two extra coats is worth saving all that goddamn money.

Both. Anybody that writes either of those alignments on their character sheet is going to be a lolsrandumb asshole, who's just looking for a consequence free alignment where they can do whatever they want.

The only acceptable alignments are good or lawful neutral

Glass the planet anyway, because we're the fucking galactic empire.

The TIEs alone would obliterate anything we have. A force 1/10th this size would be able to capture Earth pretty easily, even. Our tech doesn't anywhere near compare to theirs.

>>52594481
This

I wouldn't. Alignments were a mistake.

>"improving" alignment by adding more goddamn alignments that don't even represent anything

>>52593313
Okay, so there's a Social <> Rebel axis, and a Moral <> Impure axis.

...what does this add, exactly? I LIKE alignments, and I don't see the point of this. What is made better by adding a Z axis and...Q?...axis? What do Social, Rebel, Moral, and Impure even mean without overlapping on Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos?
