[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9258490, member: 57383"] Further on that, I'm still liking the idea of the [i][b]Hypnotic Wings[/b][/i] being more effective against creatures with darkvision, so how about we particularly persecute drow by adding "[COLOR=magenta]If a creature has [I]Fey Ancestry[/I] and sees the [I]Hypnotic Wings[/I] with darkvision, the trait does not give the creature advantage on saving throws against being charmed by the wings.[/COLOR]" I also mused about including other advantageous traits, e.g. "[COLOR=magenta]If a creature has [I]Fey Ancestry[/I] or [I]Magic Resistance[/I] and sees the [I]Hypnotic Wings[/I] with darkvision, the traits do not give the creature advantage on saving throws against being charmed by the wings.[/COLOR]" That felt like going too far though.
