I am running the trial of the beast and one of my player's fireball spells hit their rope of climbing. The problem is it only hit half of the rope but it did enough damage to give it the destroyed condition. I assume that means that half of the rope is gone(burned up) and what is left is a non-magical 30 foot rope (the rope to begin with was 60ft). The cleric wants to cast Make Whole on the rope. My question is: Does this bring back the lost 30 ft of rope or would the Make Whole spell only bring back its magical properties and the Rope of Climbing now only have 30ft total?
Thanks for the help.
I am unable to view the OGC from work, but my take on this would be that if you can actually cast it in this case, "make whole" makes whole, meaning it restores the entire 60 feet.
How?
It's magic.
What I mean by "if you can actually cast it" is that I don't recall if "make whole" works only on damaged, but not destroyed items.
It allows the magical item's properties to be restored if the caster level is twice that of the magical items caster level. Regarding the name Make Whole, I thought about that but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't just flavor text like expeditiousness retreat doesn't mean you are retreating.
Well, if I cast "make whole" on a broken sword where 1/2 of the blade had fallen into a pit of lava, I'd expect it to repair the sword.
As a GM I doubt I'd think twice about this, I'd just say "OK, it's fixed" and move on.
I agree. I appreciate the help!
