This reference almost slipped past me...

No no.
Don't you get it? Having to rely on tricks, gear, potions, and companions is what bring spice to exploring. Anyone can just walk to a place. But it takes an explorer to brave the dangers using strength and wit to surpass or circumvent whatever foe stands in your way.

Should add a distract spell, including that give us aoe marker placement >.>

Cast distract in an area on the ground and sound monsters flock to location, if you have a fire arrow or something (visual distraction as well) then you can distract by sight. Perhaps tossing elemental objects like crystals cause monsters affinity to the element to determine if they run towards or away from the element.. Or if they are smart monsters they may just run straight towards you, like a beastman (since they can think "What could do that? A player could... Player is back on the dinner table boys!".

I think sound/sight pots is a little extra spice but they can do more types.


Perhaps in a cursed forest the trees detect you by their roots so its not the sound but the pressure of your movement on the ground, so there you may have to cast float on yourself. The tank who wants to keep aggro may cast gravity and will gain extra hate this way.


hmm?

Good ideas +1! Would love to see a Float spell or a real Decoy spell/ability like you mentioned.
