Clone always struck me as something that shouldn't be a spell but is.

My pact was that I gave a unicorn some carrots in return for a 1d10 cantrip.

He killed an innocent man early on because he thought he was being attacked. It's not like his insanity was harmless.

So, paladins are crazy?

You have to stab him with a dagger too and see which is worse.

No. Benefits from spells of the same name do not stack.

It would generally be better to put them in pair-wise marriages, but when there's a kaiju on the loose, you can't wait multiple hours to cast it multiple times.

It says you can't benefit from it again unless widowed. Once someone is they can benefit from it as often as they want.

Also, you could still marry someone else and have them benefit from it again.

I was thinking it was a grapple thing, but Huge is already big enough to grapple anything.

I think an awesome way to use them would be to have the BBEG be a planeswalker. When the fight starts, the DM pulls out a Magic deck and starts playing Magic against D&D.

I'm imagining someone switching to Pathfinder 2e, not telling anyone, and whenever it comes up they say it's house rules.

How much trouble is it to keep learning different systems?

But you only gave them your name. You never submitted to control.

There's often stuff in fantasy about knowing a being's true name giving you power over them, so you wouldn't want to tell it to a fey. But if they literally took your name, then that would make it theirs, and now you know their true name. Also, according to the forgotten realms wiki, most people don't know their own true name. It's not the same as the name you go by.

Isn't that good? Now people can't use Gate to summon you into a trap.

I'm terrible at coming up with backstories. I guess that means I don't have any insecurities.

Barely. You can throw a potato to get rid of an orc. But this is only occasionally useful and only in the early game. Once it starts costing two or more potatoes to get rid of one orc, it's a bad idea.

I'm assuming that even though the DM pretends to be annoyed, he actually thinks all these shenanigans are awesome and is bending the rules to let them work.

I want to see a campaign where you have to protect an endangered tarrasque from a group of aarakocra that are trying to poach it.

I'm not a fan of the reflect ability. It's just immunity, but a bit worse if the party doesn't know about it ahead of time.

It would be much more interesting if it didn't negate attacks it fails to reflect.

In 3.5, a high level wizard could take it down.

In 5e, you could have a mission to protect an endangered tarrasque from Aarakocra poachers.
