@HaroldLargeIV @thedevelopingdm @SINemirovsky @pitchfrenzy @JeremyECrawford Oh no! If you are blinded you can't cast the spell that cures blindness on yourself! My sides…

If you're blinded and want to remove the condition yourself, cast lesser restoration. The spell doesn't require sight, only touch. #DnD https://t.co/vjdxHoeV4l

@JeremyECrawford I understand if that is RAW and RAI. But I'd Houserule that you can cast spells that require seeing on yourself when blinded.

Effects that require you to see your target intentionally require it. Invisibility and being blinded are designed to be potent. #DnD https://t.co/D0b69AJkPh

Stinking Cloud…does the rule leave any room for a character to hold it’s breath. Our DM says no, however, I submit that a character doesn’t NEED to breath as long as it can hold it’s breath for the duration allowed by its CON. Your thoughts?
I would completely agree with that in non magical circumstances. I would give it much consideration on spells, but currently leaning towards no as that would nerf Stinking Cloud considerably.
I would almost equate stinking gas to CS gas. Breathing doesn’t stop that stuff from being awful. It makes it not quite as terrible but it makes it slightly better.
