Had a interesting scenario the other night during 19th-level game play. The characters were in wind walk form scouring an area when enemies teleported next to them to attack. One enemy managed to grapple one of the characters with an attack. It took us a second to realize that the PC was...

Let's say a PC uses a Scroll of Protection from Undead. This creates a "5-foot-radius, 10-foot-high cylinder" that acts as a " barrier [that] prevents undead from entering or affecting anything within the cylinder" of protection. A skeleton down the hall shoots an arrow at the PC. Does the...

Rules for a magical sword that one of my players uses states: "In addition, those within the radius can’t be charmed, frightened or possessed by aberrations, fiends, demons and undead." (The sword emits light in an 80 foot radius that offers certain protections, in case you were wondering why...

Hello all, In a current game, our Cleric cast Etherealness using an 8th level spell slot, allowing him to cast it on himself and three other people. According to the spell description "You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use your action to dismiss the spell." The...

Hi all, I'm looking for enemies for my campaign that are decent representatives of specific character classes at higher levels (10+, preferably). I'm looking for a sorcerer, monk, and a warlock. I'm looking for official WotC stats or stats from Kobold Press' Creature Codex, Tome of Beasts 1...

A question for the hive... Banishment spell says "If the target is native to the plane of existence you're on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated..." But then has a whole other paragraph about those non-native targets: "If the target is...

Question: If you fall off a Spelljammer in space and are still within the ship's gravity plane, can you simply use your movement to get back to the ship?

Hi all, Have a rules question about something the Sorcerer/Warlock in my game did the other night. They used Quickened Spell to shoot off Eldritch Blast as a Bonus Action. Then used Ready as their action to shoot off an Eldritch Blast as a Reaction when their enemy came into view later. I...

Hi all, I had an enemy cast Time Stop to escape from my PCs. It got me to thinking... what do those under the influence of stopped time experience? Do they still perceive what is going on around them while time is stopped? Or do they just notice what has changed once time starts again? Do they...

Is there an official 5E source that has a fully crewed Nautiloid? Looking for some guidance on it beyond "Crew 20". Thanks in advance.

Hello all, Interesting scenario in my last game that I want to run by you all to see how you would rule. A PC used telekinesis (TK) to grab a creature. That creature has the ability to teleport and does so, but it teleports to a space that the PC could not see. In the heat of the moment...

Yet another question to you all regarding the power of Leomund's Tiny Hut. The group is being chased by aberrations that have Creature Sense: ...is aware of the presence of creatures within 2 miles of it that have an Intelligence score of 4 or higher. It knows the distance and direction to each...

If a swashbuckler is going to use Panache, does initiative need to be rolled? This came up in my game last night from one of my players. My immediate reaction is "yes". While not outwardly hostile, Panache requires an action and strongly affects another creature. Being able to charm a creature...

How would you rule? One of the PCs in my group (medium creature) wanted to gain cover against enemies by positioning herself under the legs of an allied huge dragon. I thought it would be a cool thing for the game so in the heat of the moment I ruled as follows... The PC got 3/4 cover while...

An interesting use of Leomund's Tiny Hut popped up last game session and wanted your thoughts. There was a chest that had explosive runes on it that would blast anybody messing with it. The party decided that they would cast Tiny Hut very close to the chest. Then the party would mess with the...

It feels strange I can't find a straight answer on this... If a rider on a mount experiences forced movement, do they fall off the mount? Are they prone? I know the rules about if the mount is moved or the rider is knocked prone. But specifically, what happens when the rider experiences...

Let's suppose you cast Calm Emotions to suppress fear. Duration is one minute. No problem. Fear gone. Then another enemy arrives a couple rounds later and imposes a different fear effect. Does the previously cast Calm Emotions spell automatically suppress the fear from this new source since...

Can an undead creature with legendary actions still take their legendary actions when turned? How do you interpret the legendary action and turned rules on this?

I need some help interpreting the text of antilife shell. 1 - "A shimmering barrier extends out from you in a 10-foot radius and moves with you, remaining centered on you and hedging out creatures other than undead and constructs." Does "hedging out" mean that creatures next to you get pushed...

Would an Elder Brain using Sense Thoughts still be able to use the part of the feature to deceive a creature's mind on a Warlock with Thought Shield? Assume the Psychic Link with the Warlock has been established. Relevant texts: Elder Brain Sense Thoughts: The elder brain targets a creature...
