Hey guys,
Seeing a lot of conflicts in how dispels, specifically targeted dispel, is RAW vs how it's handled by GM's apparently. Just wondering about the resolution of two opposing situations.
Via Raw, targeted dispel appears to do two different things in these situations.
1) Haste/party buffs - the prevailing wisdom seems to be that targeted dispel ONLY removes haste or similar mass spell effects for a single individual, rather than cutting off the source (spell) for all individuals covered by it.
2) Completely in opposition to the above, summoned creatures seem to be a difference in opinion, where people have said, and via RAW, when a targeted dispel hits a summoned creature, all summons via that spell (ex: a 3 creature summon spell), all of them go poof back to their otherplanar homes.
Can anyone clarify the difference of these two situations, or give me a better understanding of why they'd work differently/ what the intent was here? Is it a 'this is just meant for readying a dispel against the summon or buff'? or does the dispel actually remove ALL for everyone on both instances as RAW?
Thanks all!
