MY PLAYERS STAY OUT!!! I'm looking for advise on the difficulty of an encounter I'm working on. It's a little complicated, and I'm looking for some help ironing out the specifics. Here is the general situation: The adventurers have been hired to accompany a duke on a small dungeon dive. The...

I'm just curious as to the purpose behind the 5' step not provoking an attack of opportunity. It seems odd that a spellcaster can just step back from a fight, and cast a spell no sweat. In my mind this makes no sense at all, assuming everybody's action is supposed to happen at the same time. Is...
