Cast minor illusion of a 5x5 box around yourself. You are now unseen, attackers now have disadvantage to hit you. They must spend an action and make an investigation check for the illusion to see through it (the illusion becomes faint. Physical interaction passes though the illusions but does...

Is the Fighter’s Combat Challenge an Opportunity Attack? I’m making my first fighter and noticed something new (to me). These are two separate attack types. I needed to calculate two attack bonuses for Opportunity Attacks and Combat Challenge attacks because the fighter feats don’t apply to...

Commander’s Strike (Warlord) So the Warlord (Int+2) orders the 1st level Fighter to attack. The fighter's basic Attack is normally +6 (str and weapon prof) vs AC and damage 1d10+4 (str and weapon focus). With the Commander's strike he is still +6 vs AC, and does 1d10+6?

When you have an Attack: Dex vs AC and Special: You gain a bonus to the attack roll equal to your Strength modifier. Do you add both Dex and Str, the best or only Strength?

I must be missing something. D20SRD.org lists this as creating 1 square ft/ level of vegetable matter. I was thinking this was plant matter (which would at least allow for wood items) but apparently not. [Edit: Is wood a vegetable?, or more precisely are the wood like vegetables?] So what is...

Is there anything preventing Coup de grace when there is a miss chance. This was from magical darkness 20%, but could be applied to Blur or even invisibility. It came up in a recent game, and didn't really matter, but got me wondering on what the rule should have been. The player argued he...

The situation is our party came up with a puzzle for the BBEG. The DM knows how we did it and approves doesn't want to arbitrarily assume the BBEG figured it out. Hence the need to set a DC for those of you who read the title and thought it shouldn't be a skill check but role played. Bestt...

Specifically, I'm trying to not be awoke from sleeping. I'm hoping they make you deaf (auto-fail listen checks) but that might be more powerful than intended. With Combat listen DC at -10, and -10 to listen checks while sleeping, I basically need to fail a DC 0* listen check to sleep through...

What is normal movement for undergrowth? Vine Mine, and Woodland stride mention it, but it's not described under movement and terrain. A forrest without a trail is 1/2 movement, a Jungle without a tail is 1/4 movement. My hunch is 1/4 movement, but is it specified anywhere?

Some members of the party fall victim to The next round does the bard's countersong save them?

These mounted combat questions bring to mind another question I've wondered about: Control Mount in Battle As a move action, you can attempt to control a light horse, pony, heavy horse, or other mount not trained for combat riding while in battle. If you fail the Ride check, you can do nothing...

Our party approaching 10th level came across a rod of lesser chaining. I don't see a lot of great uses, and actually seems to have been forgotten about by whoever has it. The chaining feat has a lot of restrictions IIRC which rule out a lot of spells. We have a Favored soul with reach spell...

I'm curious what people here think the interaction between these two abilities are. Knight's Bulwark of Defense (EX): If an opponent begins its turn in a threatened area, the area is difficult terrain to him. (paraphased, full text on p 28) Defensive Sweep: If an opponent you threaten doesn't...

1) Melee attacks through arrow slits, at what penalty, possible? I believe the module noted that you had to be a tiny creature to fit through the opening. a) My in game ruling was (and gut feeling is) you can't fight effectively through a 1' wide hole. b) After a complaint and re-reading...

So I'm DM'ing a new campaign and to keep things simple, I'm keeping it core rules (PhB, DMG prestige classes) Plus one acessory book. Complete whatever for feat and prestige class selection. Not only for keeping it simple, I thought it would provide something special that your character can...

Has anyone used the companion spirit (DMGII p195)? If so, which one? I was starting a game, and we thought we were going to be short a cleric. So as the DM, I was going to offer a salve companion spirit in lieu of the Wizard's familiar. Then, I thought a good defense like Rampart, Shadow or...

Ghaele and Lantern archons have an attack called "Light Ray". For Lantern Archons it does 1d6 to a range of 30', for Ghaele it does 2d12 from up to 300' away. Both note that it is an (EX) Extrodinary ability and that it overcomes damage reduction of any type. They also both leave the attack...

I'm playing in a module where the character wealth is about 70% the DMG suggested level. I'm happy with this as I typically run games where character wealth lags behind the DMG table. The thing that came to me though was that my DM considered this a typical mid to high powered forgotten realms...

Does a Dragon bypass another Dragons' DR /Magic? I seem to remember something like that, perhaps it was from 3.0.

Well the topic doesn't say it all. Reincarnate (4th level druid spell) for 1000 gp AND Break Enchantment (5th level Cleric/Sor/Wiz), are better than 5th level Raise Dead. First, you have the chance to have a better form which negates the need for Break Enchantment. If you don't like your form...
