Fortune's favour would be pretty useless in this kind of situation, as it takes a minute to cast, you can't subtly re-up it during the game. You could pre-cast it and get one favourable outcome, but that's not enough to win a tournament with, and the 100gp cost would mean you're probably just wasting money. On the plus side, it's not concentration, so you could put the buff up on top of enhance ability or borrowed knowledge.


As for the house rule, what's happening here is tomfoolery and japes.


As for Konsi's access to this spell in specific, most of the spellcasting NPCs in our setting were created and had their spell lists defined early in the campaign. EGtW came out after they were already long established - the party actually knows Addis' spell list (it's a static list, consisting of a subset of the full cleric list). Konsi's sudden acquisition of a new luck-based spell, as an outcome/reward of her completing a major goal of her goddess, does make some kind of sense as a "special" situation.

As to whether or not Konsi is a "chosen" it's a little ambiguous. Tymora already has a defined chosen in canon (Curran Corvalin.) Gods normally only have one chosen at a time.

Tymora hasn't explicitly made it clear to Konsi that she's chosen, just that she has a mission to fulfill, favour and support. Likely, Konsi's on the path to becoming Tymora's chosen, but she's not there yet, she's just an important priestess that's going places.

As October has recently passed, here's a bonus Konsi

 

This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.

It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.

For DnD, I normally aim for six players, and I run if there's at least four present.

Knowing that the game will go on anyway without you is really good motivation to not flake out (I speak as someone who flakes out a bunch.) - and DnD is a very easy game to just have someone be not present for a week.

alright, I'll send her over...

This is very much a non-canon Konsi. Konsi would be a fuzzy/happy/sleepy drunk, rather than a grumpy drunk. Once she gets tipsy she just wants to snuggle.

Also, she's immune to all poisons.

As usual, have a bonus Konsi

 

This is how every party healer feels inside.

Yeah, it's ambiguous. I interpret the "you can be one foot taller or shorter" to mean you, and something like a hat or ridiculous hair can just be as large as you like so long as it still looks like an item of clothing and not (say) a billboard.

Of course, at very large sizes, something's going to clip into the illusion every now and then, so it'll obviously be an illusion to anyone who is around it for more than a few minutes. I'm imagining small birds trying to land on it and faceplanting into your head.

I suppose y'all can have a bonus Konsi, as a treat.

 

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

That depends how much experience you have, it's mini for some people.

Zero consideration given to the possibility that Konsi realized this herself and said it deliberately.

 

Both of the guards have a handle. If the guard that always lies pulls his handle, then the minecart will divert to the second track. If both guards pull their handle, the prisoners will be released. One of the handles is covered by a wooden box, where half of the wooden planks of the original box have been replaced by new ones cut from a tree that fell when nobody was around. If guard A is taller than guard B, are we getting paid for this quest?

Why would Konsi play with such a handicap?

  1. Growing up as a street urchin, she never really had access to lots of clothes. When not wearing armour, or dressing up for an event, she’s still most comfortable wearing just a simple robe.

  2. She’s trying to practice keeping her cool under pressure, and that’s not effective if you have a lot of safety.
