"I use a cantrip to cover them in grease then catch it on fire so they keep falling while burning to death."

Eye roll

Grease isn't a cantrip, and it stops being slippery when ignited. Nice try though, Mr. Clever Wizard Guy.

The stuff produced by the Grease spell is not specified as flammable.

[-] 5too@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It's also not specified as not flammable!

(Also, does it still use animal fat or something as a material component? That's why we decided it was)

It is specifed as automatic, systematic and hydromatic, though.

But only when combined with lightning.

It's a totally fine ruling to say it's flammable. I'm just saying the spell itself doesn't say it is. I think treating it like Alchemist's Fire once ignited is a good house rule. (1d4 damage at the start of each of its turns and can use an action to attempt to extinguish with a DC 10 Dexterity check.)

Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't specifically say it isn't. Even if it did house rules are fine so long as everyone at the table enjoys it. I think Grease being flammable is fine. It's a pretty minor change and it is how many people think it acts anyways.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The way I dealt with it was either it was flammable and the viscosity went down so it wasn't slippery anymore or it was slippery.
