TheRealKuni comments on Uhhh... what spell are you using?

I agree. The enemy considering using the spell doesn’t know the HP totals. Why should the DM controlling that enemy?

from what i understood, the dm asked to know if the spell would have effect, not if the creature was going to use it or not

Yeah, that’s what PM_Your_Nudes_Please said, and I hadn’t thought of that until they did. But you’re both right.

Because the DM needs to know if the spell succeeds before they can narrate anything.

I suppose if they’re already using the spell regardless, yes.
