It also depends on which tank is afk a ranger or stalker is much less annoying even with autofire on than an auto 5 or an octo or penta . If a teammate has been gone for an extended time , has e on , and is a bullet spammer who is destroying all the shapes in spawn , I will push them out , but if they are not being jerks , they will be safe . <| sep |> Yeah , I like Lingard but really hope this proves mkhi should be starting ahead of him . <| sep |> Yea , I just was messaged to by a dude who said I was a piece of shit , my kids deserve better , ect . <| sep |> Yeah , I saw that chart with something like max 164 skeletons . that ' s ridiculous . RAW To maintain the control of the creature for another 24 hours , you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24 hour period ends . This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell , rather than animating a new one . I ' d rule as a DM that if you attempted to raise the 5 th skeleton , it just wouldn ' t work . It instead would refresh the effect on the 4 . This is more along the lines of RAI , I believe . EDIT I ' d like to know if those that disagree have actually ran with those rules , keeping track of dozens and dozens of skeletons , rolling for them , etc . That sounds like a nightmare , and I ' d nip that in the bud immediately . Like has been stated below , even just 4 skeletons blows up the action economy .
