Is it a bad idea to put LVL.5 Death in DND? A spell...
It could be a great way to put fear in the bowls of LVL.20 parties right?
LVL.5 Death in DND?

It could be a great way to put fear in the bowls of LVL.20 parties right?
Which edition?
The newest
So D&Done?
That's what Power Word Kill is.
you do not play traditional games
You are not a mod, or even a janny. You're not even a newbie, which makes it even more pathetic.
You're moronic.
If the idea is to put fear, wouldnt porting over the doom status be a better idea?
>It could be a great way to put fear in the bowls of LVL.20 parties right?
No. It's a way to end a game in TPK, as the level X spells ignore magic resistance/do not allow a save. If your level is the right one, it works.
What you should do is implement Death Sentence/Doom as mentioned by . Put a ticking clock on your players.
Just run one of the many, many FF homebrew rpgs instead of porting everything to 5e.
>LVL.5 Death in DND
Why do you need LVL.5 Death?
Does it make people somehow more death that LVL.1 death?
No such thing as Lvl. 1 Death.
Would be absurdly overpowered if it functions like lvl5 Death does in ff5.
To put it in D&D terms, the game checks off your level is a multiple of 5. If so, you die, no save, no spell resistance, if you have any buffs or equipment that would make you immune to instant death spells it tells you to choke on a dick you die anyways.
Thank you for an explanation.
That sounds tremendously stupid.
On a positive note, all level spells in the game work like that do you can use it to inflict instant death on the few bosses with multiple if 5 levels, or level 2 Old on bosses with an even level. If they don't you also get a spell that halves an enemy's level.
LV.1 Death would kill everything with a level that has a multiple of 1, which would be significantly more deadly than LV.5 Death which only kills things whose level is a multiple of 5.
The only thing more powerful than LV.1 is LV. i Flare which hits every target whose level is a positive, negative, or imaginary integer and which has only ever been used by 1 character.
>Death is scary in D&D
No, it isn't. Just roll a new character.
LEVEL DRAIN is scary, DESTROYING GEAR is scary. You put a monster on the board that is going to drastically gimp a character and inconvenience the frick out of the player to fix the character? The players get genuine anxiety over such an encounter.
Ok but make it so you only fail the save on a result multiple of 5 at the pertinent levels.
