IMO, it is more about play balance, than what is 'reasonable' or not. A spell that grants effective advantage/disadvantage on one round of attack is effectively non-moving Invisibility (2nd level). Getting partial cover (+2 AC) is getting close to Mage Armor (1st level) - although it will...

Darkness or Fog was my initial thought, but raleel pointed out that Minor Illusion say 'objects', not 'objects or effects'. So, MI requires an object - you can argue with the GM about wether a 'cube of fog' is an object or an effect. Sent from my iPad using EN World mobile app

Charwoman Gene Thanks. A couple of folks here helped me get straight on Holy Symbol vs. Arcane Focus. I think Ara is going to go old school with a component pouch. Accounting of what I need to send home when I strike it rich :) Equipment = longbow/quiver (51) + short sword (10) + familiar...

The open question here is what happens after the wizard shoots through the rock. Does the creature realized it is an illusion, because the wizard shot through it? Does the creature spend his round on the Int check or simply shoot an arrow at the rock - and the wizard behind it? Also, what...

raleel, Thanks for your reply. I am relatively new to 5e and just getting ready to run my first wizard. So, I am checking out the 1st level spells. I agree with you, MI is best out of combat - i.e., for hiding or getting a 1st round surprise attack from behind the illusion. I went back and...

Thanks, this is a good evaluation trade-off of Minor Illusion in combat. However, I think your missed a couple of key aspects of Minor Illusion. First, whoever is behind the illusion - unseen by the creatures(s) - gets advantage on their attacks. Second, the disadvantage/advantage persists...

BeaniBum, Charwoman Gene set out the basic character generation guidelines earlier in this thread. The biggies are point buy, Variant Human and SCAG. If you are in, Charwoman Gene can tweak the character as necessary. I would say post your character and introduce yourself. The worst that can...

I am in a campaign with two Sorcerers. The players like the class and they kick some major ass. There is basically the Fire Sorcerer (Red Draconic Origin) and the Lightening Sorcerer (Tempest Origin). They use about 3-5 spells each - e.g., Fireball, Firebolt, Fly for the Fire Sorcerer. The...

BeaniBum, the decision is up to the GM - Charwoman Gene. However, I suggest that you create a character. So, you will be ready to go if you can join. If not, you have another character for the next PbP. This is my first PbP and I can sympathize that slots fill up pretty quickly for these...

For those of you who have met Ara, you will soon see him do his 'water to wine' trick. Ara takes a set of glasses/mugs of water and 'converts' them - via Prestidigitation - into Elven Wine. It is not quite the same as the consistency is slightly different and there is no alcohol. However it...

For those who are on the fence about creating a character. I am new to D&D 5e and would really like to see a Barbarian in action. Sent from my iPad using EN World

Thanks TallIan and KhalessNestor. Thanks for the information. Based on your input, I took a closer look at the rules and I see what is happening. A spell caster needs to be holding the arcane focus (p.203). However, the definition of Cleric says that they can use a Holy Symbol as a spell...

Testing the EnWorld Roller [roll0] Here is a Draft of my Elven Wizard Ara. Waiting for answers to a few questions to finalize Ara Glanodel (Moon Whisperer)

I re-read my question about Somatic and Material components from last night and it sounds too much like a complaint. To clarify, Generally, I would like to understand how these mechanics are going to work, as they sound pretty complicated (e.g., need a free hand for somatic gesture, and a...

Ara's Background Here is the Background for Ara. Ara Galanodel (Moon Whisperer) Elven Wizard Background Height 5’3” ;Weight 108 lbs; Moon Elf (Pale White Skin, short black hair, blue eyes flecked with gold) In town, Ara wears a distinctive Tunic, with various small scenes painted on the...

Some Question Effecting Character set-up All, I am relatively new to DnD - played in college too many years ago - and new to PbP. So, please guide me on both the mechanics and the etiquette. I have a few questions that will impact my character and starting equipment. Brief Bio Ara is...

I am in. I would like to run a Wizard - preferably a Elven Bladesinger. Sent from my iPad using EN World

I am up for an AP adventure. New to PbP and relatively new to 5e. I have a mild preference for LMoP as it is a plot for a homebrew that I have been thinking about. Sent from my iPad using EN World
