Bane Tips & Notes

• Despite a range of 30ft, due to how bane's targeting works it can affect creatures up to 60ft away.
• Usually the player will not be able to specifically choose which three creatures are affected.
• The penalty from bane is easy to miss, as it is applied silently. Hovering the cursor over the die roll will show an an unnamed penalty being applied.
• Differences from D&D 5th Edition: In 5E, the caster may specifically choose the targets, but they must all be within 30ft.
