Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
So is there a way to avoid the effects of Violet Rain? What I'm thinking is possibly an Acorn of far travel located in some place else outside the area of the Violet Rain could work, what do you guys think, would it work or not? Also how else could you avoid the effects of it some other way?

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
An umbrella?
It's actually not that tough as it's not a spread, so cover from the point of origin works. That means that unless they're flying, they're not going to get anywhere near the area of the spell, and if they are flying, see above.
Edit: i'm thinking of the evil weather spell. But... uh... cover still seems to work for the weather.Last edited by Deophaun; 2017-02-11 at 09:38 PM.

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
Metaphorically speaking, yes. It won't die and stay dead, despite the number of deific interventions that have sought to kill the beast thus far...
It could be quite the tale, but it is full of bad grammar and broken rules and doesn't belong here. I'd suggest letting it lie and paying it no mind when it resurfaces now and then.

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
I'm quite certain that my incantations wont raise it. Besides, Wish can kill the Tarrasque and it hasn't worked yet. So it's probably not a Tarrasque.

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
Hmmm, that's true...
Maybe we should give someone a call to check that Rovagug didn't get out.

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
Well, assuming we're talking about the Evil Weather effect, the simply solution is to not use divine spells. Alternative Spell Source to turn everything arcane should work.

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
Violet Rain and Evil Weather are 3.0, and hence explicitly subject to DM revision in a 3.5 game.
Evil Weather only applies to the caster by RAW since it's Range: Personal and area is constrained by range. If you ignore this rule, it's unclear to me that line of effect blockers apply since it's not explicitly a burst or emanation effect. Talk to the DM. The acorn of far travel does not work, because you are still _there_ even if you also count as being somewhere else.
Wrt Violet Rain, using Alternate Source Spell is subject to DM adjudication because it's unclear weather "access" applies to memorization, casting, or both. In any case, all Alternate Source Spells precast by a divine spellcaster remain in effect.
Evil Weather[Violet Rain] is subject to suppression by Antimagic Field and Otiluke's Suppressing Field[Conjuration or Evil].
Another approach is to simply be on a coterminous plane.
Since it's a corrupt spell, Sorcerer's explicitly can't cast it and the 1 hour casting time makes it rather impractical in combat.
"Natural" Violet Rain may be somewhat harder to avoid because it is not explicitly magical.Build help: Piercing Immunities | Skillfull full casters | Uptier base classes | Top 10 spells/level

Re: Avoiding the effects of Violet Rain (3.5)
1) Divine Spellcasters have no acess to spells. It's simply, no spells. No DM Interpretation.
2) Otiluke's supressing field dont block Evil Weather, Enemie use Evil Component to +10 CL, Also, No teleport? No Consumptive Field? Or Conjuration spells?
3) Enemie Otiluke's Supressing Field supress your Antimagic Field. Also, Mage Disjuntion or Disjoin Spell to break the antimagic field
3) Transdimentional Evil Weather
4) Sorcerer can use Corrupt Spells with Corrupt Arcana feat or Arcane Preparation feat
5) Craft Contingency Spell: Evil Weather, Supernatural Wish or Supernatural Alamanther's Return bypass 1 hours casting
6) Alternative Source Spell, You cant use Divine Metamagic.Last edited by Balaur Seeker; 2017-02-12 at 12:18 PM.
