I'm running a level 20 one shot for my group on Halloween, and a player has decided to go full life cleric. A level 20 cleric can call on divine intervention and have it automatically succeed. As this is a "bring about the apocalypse by killing the guardian(s) and opening the gate" scenario, does anyone have any suggestions for some limits I can give that player that won't break the final encounter?
"Automatically succeeds" does not mean "player gets exactly what they want." It just means that the god will intervene in a way that is helpful and in accordance with their alignment and values. No harm in reminding a player of that if the need arises.
Think of the divine intervention as a wish spell, but without explicitly negative consequences. It might not do exactly what the cleric asks for, but it’s not gonna backfire.
"Automatically succeeds" does not mean "player gets exactly what they want." It just means that the god will intervene in a way that is helpful and in accordance with their alignment and values. No harm in reminding a player of that if the need arises.
And the ability itself says, "The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate."
Also, they would only get to use it once during a one-shot .
