    Is a Ranger still part of a group while scouting?

    OK, I have some questions about my new Ranger character. The DM is currently working up a campaign where he and some friends are guiding a group of escaped slaves through a forest. Coincidentally, (I swear) my character has that as his favored terrain, so the group can move at full speed...

    Do a +1 magic shield and Shield of Faith conflict?

    I wouldn't think so, since the magic shield isn't actually a spell, but I thought I'd ask before I spent the money on the shield for my new character. I would assume the bonuses stack, besides the obvious advantage of having the shield available even if surprised.

    Can a druid use Beast Sense on a summoned creature?

    This seems like a great way to scout ahead. For instance, summon a rat, cast Beast Sense, and send it into the goblin's cave. The reason I ask is that a summoned creature is, in at least some ways, a spirit. Is it also enough of a beast for Beast Sense to work? In related questions, while...

    D&D 5E Attacking from hiding -- who knows where you are?

    If you attack from hiding, using a bow, you "give away your location", but to who? Certainly to your target (unless they're dead), but to anyone else? When your target goes down any other enemy standing next to him certainly notices it and has some idea where the arrow came from but is it...

    D&D 5E DM is letting me play a kitsune, we'll see how it works out

    I should have carefully written down the rules I made up for myself instead of doing it on the fly, so this will be a bit vague. A kitsune has to be a shapeshifter, but only back and forth from a fox form. Being a fox who can shift into human (not a were) there were some skills that won't...

    D&D 5E Are sleep spells additive?

    Two of us in the party are able to cast Sleep. If Gregor casts it, putting the two lowest enemies to sleep and the third one half way to sleep where does Satoshi start counting when he casts it? Back at the beginning wasting effort on enemies that are already asleep? On the third lowest...

    D&D 5E Armor class and proficiency on saving throws

    OK, as a rogue, my character has proficiency on dexterity saving throws. Armor class has dex added in. For leather, 11 + his dex modifier. My question is, should I also add in his proficiency. Reasonably, you could say yes, because armor class amounts to a saving throw. Or, you could say...

    D&D 5E Disguise Self and advantage

    A mixed group of a wizard guarded by hobgoblins is fighting the group of adventurers. My new character, not yet having joined the party, is a rogue and is using Disguise Self to appear to be another hobgoblin. He walks up behind the wizard and attempts to take his head off. Does he have...

    During our lest session my character (Erdan, a half-elf ranger) leveled up to 4 ~and~ picked up some magical items. A +3 shortsword Studded armor resistant to force damage An increased dexterity bonus, boosting his armor class and attack and damage bonuses (all of his weapons are finesse) A...

    D&D 5E How far can you see in the dark?

    My half elf ranger "Can see in dim light within 60' as if it were bright light." "Can see in darkness as if it were dim light." So is there any limit to how far he can see in the dark? Such as 60'? Or can he see as in dim light right out to the end of his line of sight? I would read it as...

    D&D 5E Shooting at someone above you

    How do you measure range to an elevated target? Do you add the height to the horizontal distance or take the diagonal? As an example, my longbow has an accurate range of 150 feet. Suppose my enemy is 80 feet away and 80 feet above me. If you add the two ranges together, he's outside my...

    D&D 5E Ensnaring strike and surprise

    If my ranger hits a monster while using Ensnaring Strike and the monster is taken by surprise, does it still get to make a strength check to escape or does it have to wait another turn until it is no longer surprised?
