Still better than a party of 5 wizards all trying to be clever and quirky about any and all details.
"I use a cantrip to cover them in grease then catch it on fire so they keep falling while burning to death."
Eye roll
The way I dealt with it was either it was flammable and the viscosity went down so it wasn't slippery anymore or it was slippery.
The stuff produced by the Grease spell is not specified as flammable.
My DM specifies it is.
Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't specifically say it isn't. Even if it did house rules are fine so long as everyone at the table enjoys it. I think Grease being flammable is fine. It's a pretty minor change and it is how many people think it acts anyways.
It's also not specified as not flammable!
(Also, does it still use animal fat or something as a material component? That's why we decided it was)
It's a totally fine ruling to say it's flammable. I'm just saying the spell itself doesn't say it is. I think treating it like Alchemist's Fire once ignited is a good house rule. (1d4 damage at the start of each of its turns and can use an action to attempt to extinguish with a DC 10 Dexterity check.)
It is specifed as automatic, systematic and hydromatic, though.
But only when combined with lightning.
so not a fireball firing squadron?
That comes later when they are all in a confined space.
Nope. My first casting of Time Stop taught me that overwhelming application of magic can go overboard. 5 DBF spells going off at the same time did enough structural damage to collapse the entire cavern we were in. The cleric barely had time to Plane Shift us out.
