D&D 5E 5e Triple Move- Way? Or No Way?

[Goonalan]

Simple as, and I've never been sure of the ruling- so now I'm asking the experts.

D&D 5e

PC Rogue (level 2 and above- Cunning Action) makes Move, then turns Action into Dash, and then Bonus Action = Cunning Action = Dash some more, for triple speed move this turn, and any other.

Is this right?

Same for Orcs?

Aggressive. As a bonus action, the orc can move up to its speed toward a hostile creature that it can see.

So for the Orc, Move- Action = Dash, Bonus Action = Aggressive, and here I come.

Way? Or No Way?

If not the actual rule, then how do you play it?

Yep. Rogue = Move + Dash action + Cunning Action Dash = 3x move

Orcs are the same as long as the can see a hostile creature and it is moving towards it.

That's that then... I had been doing it right.

Sorted.

Way. Both of these sequences are legit.

I would rule that neither can be sustained over a long chase - a rogue is not actually 50% faster than everyone else - but within the normal context of combat, yes, I would allow both.

Same with the Monk using ki points to fuel Step of the Wind!

Agreed that's how I do it

Just remember that the rogue does not always want to run into the room first. Just as my poor thief that ran in first thinking that the rest of the party was close behind. He then was surrounded by hobgoblins with their bonus damage and killed him.

Chase rules have a dash usage limit depending on con. If you use two dashes in a single turn, you just blow through your usages faster.

I like that one... I may keep ahold of that info...

The rules are there, but if you look at the actual speed of people moving, etc. those rules aren't very realistic at all. Yeah, I know, "fantasy" game and all, but still...
