All the information is on the task.

But you'd have to go outside the walls to get to the turrets. And you're in a situation where you have someone who can cast 8th level spells. I'm not sure this advice is sound. 🤨

You don't even need to homebrew. Spell scrolls exist. It's not unreasonable to think a spell scroll of mighty fortress would be stored away for safekeeping somewhere for a long time before the PCs find it. 👍🏻

Still better than the 50,000 gp construction cost and 400 days for a "Keep or small castle" using Building a Stronghold. Actual time spent on labor amounts to a minute per week for a high enough level wizard.

Well, technically it doesn't say your connecting walls have to be straight, just 80 feet long. Not exactly sure how you're going to make them connect up into a hexagon or star out of "four turrets with square bases, each one 20 feet on a side and 30 feet tall, with one turret on each corner", but if you've got a diagram I'd love to see it. 😆

The spell mighty fortress is very specific about the size and shape of the castle it makes, but not about where walls are connected. Both are 120' square areas with four 20' turrets connected by 80' walls, but the second one you get more interior space and can access your turrets without leaving the outer walls.

You can make it permanent if you cast it 53 times, and by the time you hit level 15, 500gp for a week of downtime with comfort and security is occasionally worth it. Our druid/cleric regularly casts greater restoration rather than wait for me to prepare remove curse the next morning.

No. The worst is when, their attempts to thwart you don't stop you from executing the plan, but do stop the plan from working, and then they blame you for your infeasible scheme failing— like they all knew it would.

Well, at least they promised that rumors of a planned $30 subscription fee weren't true.

I mean this site is hardly the big budget Triple-A title equivalent of D&D. It'd be more like if the new version of Twitter/𝕏 did that.

Yeah, that's not exclusionary, nor does it have any bearing on the two sentences necessary for the meme combo. In any other circumstance everyone would rightfully be calling BS on that kind of cherry-picking.

If someone were claiming:

"Well it specifically says favored enemy and you made friends with Bob's Orc character last session, so you no longer have advantage to track him."

or:

“Cavaliers also learn how to guard those in their charge from harm, […]“ You’re not the boss of this noble you’re escorting so you’re Protection reaction doesn’t work to save him.

they would be derisively ignored. And rightly so.

A statement explaining you can use the following ability for this typical use case, does not mean “THIS IS THE ONLY USE FOR THE FOLLOWING ABILITY! THIS USE AND NO OTHER!!“

You trigger after you take damage but before you fall unconscious, like numerous other triggers in the game. I just used the Strength Before Death example because it shows even without magic there's enough time to squeeze a whole ass turn in between those two events.
