@JeremyECrawford pc surrounded by ghasts, a stench save for each? If so, if save against one = save against all? Thanks.

If you're surrounded by ghasts, you have to make a saving throw against each one's Stench. Stinky! 😷 #DnD https://t.co/jqIgPGnuBG

Wait, I thought overlapping effects didn't stack. You don't make saves against multiple overlapping Stinking Clouds, why do you make saves against multiple Ghast auras? What's the logic here?

If multiple versions of the same thing affect you simultaneously, you don't have to save multiple times. But if you hop into the same effect consecutively, you have to save each time. #DnD https://t.co/AhDti9o4GY

But … the two ghast situation is an example of two things affecting your simultaneously, same as entering the space of two stinking clouds (or two overlapping Wall of Fire effects). Ghast is SOT, so necessarily, 2 ghasts will have to be simultaneous. My second tweet clarifies the first, which talks about being surrounded (not a game term). Surrounded can mean, among other things, (a) effects overlap or (b) effects are adjacent to each other.

So if you start your turn in 3 different ghast auras you save once? If you move past 3 different ghasts you save 3 times? That's correct.

So, to be clear: Enter two Stinking Clouds at the same time: one save. Two ghasts start turn: Save once. But successfully saving against one doesn’t mean you’re immune to the other? Also, no overlapping damage from Wall of Fire still?Correct.

Weremouse confirmed! I’d feel ridiculed… but oddly, this seems to feed my Weremoose powers!
