D&D 5E 5e CB's Stonefast OOC -- COMPLETE

[Kobold Stew]

Nope; Dash is an action, and so he couldn't attack (this is the real place where initiative order matters). There's a feat, the poorly-named Charger, that would let him attack in these circumstances.

I'm thinking about buying an extra PHB and keeping a copy in my office. That's embarrassing, both to admit and to do.

If you can get away with keeping a copy of it on your computer, you could download the free D&D Basic Rules PDF. It has the vast majority of the rules in it.

Another note, Roscoe loses his rage if he doesn't attack or get damaged in a given round. Since the movement and positioning have been difficult to keep track of and conceptualize, can he reclaim that use? I think it's a bonus action to activate, so he could probably just do it whenever he eventually ends up next to a target.

Working on a project right now, but I'll get an updated map put up in about an hour, I think.

ETA: Map updated in the IC

Sure, I think that's reasonable. I'm not sure if Strahd knew it was only a bonus action to activate Roscoe's rage, or that the rage ends if he hasn't attacked a hostile creature or taken damage that turn. Seems like he would be his own best advocate in this arena. Then again, several us are still learning the 5e system, so maybe he truly didn't know. One of the things that's been tricky for me is (wrongfully!) assuming I know how something works in 5e because I know precisely how it works in 3.x.

I could probably put anything I want on my work machine (within reason), but I don't feel comfortable doing that. If I do haul a resource to my office, which I doubt I do, it'll be a book that I hide in my filing cabinet.

If Fulgrim or Spec wants to move forward at the end of Round 3, please declare. I think ya'll had movement left, yes?

 

[Forged Fury]

Yeah, I didn't move at all. I will hold my position unless Spec moves forward, then I will follow behind him. Maintaining my role of covering the party's six.

 

[Kobold Stew]

I think Spec didn't see anything in the room? If that's the case, he's happy to shuffle forward.

 

[Forged Fury]

IIRC, you spotted a brass tube in there. But the barricade is precarious, so it might fall on you if you try to tear it down.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

This is the first opportunity today I've had to check the site. Yes, Spec spotted a brass tube perched on an intact desk inside the room. And, yes, there is a jumble of stacked up broken furniture in the doorway that seems as if it might topple given provocation.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Crowdsourcing an answer: If a character has a readied action and the round she gets to use it the foe disengages, does the readied action go or is it lost?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

My take: the readied action goes. My read of disengage leads me to believe that disengage works only to avoid opportunity attacks, not readied actions.
