Shadow Debuff Bot

Post by Beneidalus » Sun Nov 19, 2017 2:41 pm

One of my character's kissed a erinyes at dis, and I noticed it debuffed my will save, and that got me to thinkin' about something I saw in the new Xanathar's Guide to Everything, dungeons & dragons supplement. Shadow origin sorcerers can summon this hound of ill omen. The hound's combat stat's suck, but what it does do, is that whatever it's attacking, as long as that target is in 5ft, they have disadvantage on saving throws versus the shadow sorcerer's spell saves.

Translate it over to the shadow mage synergy with its shadowdancer summons?

What if the shadow summons could somehow drain saving throws? Like the erinyes at dis. Making it easier for the mage to then use their spells on the target! Maybe drain Spellcraft? It's like an anti-weave creature just messin' wit all dat junk (assuming negative Spellcraft lowers saving throws, since every 5 points gives +1 vs spells).

I dunno! Seems neat.
