What are the differences in rules for PCs and NPCs?

That seems like saying the Sleep spell isn't intended for insta-kill so putting a hobgoblin to sleep and rolling her off of a cliff is a rules shenanigan. As a DM I encourage my players to use their spells and other resources in creative ways. If a party keeps letting one of their own...

Because that it is just meta-gaming because the dispel player knows the knight player is invisible. Saying that a character "wants to believe" there is an invisible creature sounds similar to saying a character believes she should drop her sword to use fire on this unknown monster because that...

You say it's what you land on, but I only added landing on a boulder because snickersnax example mentioned survivability if creatures landed on a soft surface. So either we go by RAW which means the snail and all other creatures take 1d6 per 10' or - if you want to change that to be more...

As far as the bedrock, some DMs would rule the creature might appear enlarged in the closet space large enough for its form or that its growth pushes it up the crack. I'm not sure what the deep water has to do with anything - if anything, the water would be a dlightly softer surface to splat...

There's not much need of miming here; it's a few seconds of a wand flying overhead. It's not bring waved around. The flyers arms aren't swaying with its footsteps. If the other players are supposed to "reasonably conclude that a floating want might possibly be held by an invisible person" does...

On my turn I grapple and move him into the air. He's free to try to grapple against my 20 Strength, but I don't see how he could prevent being lifted or move me once he's in the air. Then when I'm ready, I let go. DM might rule he gets a reaction to grapple back, but then it just becomes a...

RAW doesn't seem to have anything preventing the falling damage on a snail, but the Sprite could just cast fly on my eldritch knight (20 Strength) who grapples the enemy then flies as high as he can and drops the enemy on a boulder (providing for a not soft surface).

My alternative solution is for my pixie familar to polymorph someone into a snail and then fly up as high it can and drop the snail. Falling damage is potent.

The party forsn't know what happened; they had no idea what the wand was. The eldritch knight rejoined them after they exited the dungeon as if nothing happened. He was suspicious of the lich, but when he prayed to his god, he was encouraged to go along with the plan. He did hand over the wand...

Exactly. That was the intent of my original post. Our DM is rather new to DMing. I tried to assist him as I could without interferring too much. I thought it ws an interesting set if circumstances, asked around other d&d tables nearby, and posted here just to see what other interpretations might...

I tried to simplify the originsl post by leaving out all the details. I wasn't going for a specific answer. But then the details were asked fir so given. I known they change things so now a specific situation answer can be looked at instead if a general.

Funny you say that. My human eldritch knight and the halfling dancer are the normal ones. There's also a shardmind mystic and a beholder bard. DM gave us each a wish. Beholder and shardmind jumped from level 3 to 15. Halfling has some sort of purifying sphere. My knight can ... ahem ... turn...

- Yes, eldritch knight in plate mail that is magical granting invisibility. - The dispelling wizard was in a large room with a 15' ceiling. - The wizard was in the room with over 30 creatures finishing combat with a mummy. - candle chandeliers (magic) - It was day so sunlight was completely ng...

Let's look at it from the perspective of the dispel caster. There's a wand that flies up a ladder in the floor of the room she is in. It is moving at 120'. There is an invisible (dashing, no hide action) wizard flying and holding the wand. There would be a significant amount of turbulence and...

Flyer is aldo PC trying to avoid other players. In your scenario helping Wizard succeed, flyer fsils.

There's a visible wand flying overhead, caused by magic. Spell says it can target magical effect.

These are interesting suggestions. I think the important thing in this is what us targeted - if wand, nothing happens; if wand-holder, then he turns visible and takes falling damage; if magical effect, then that one effect ends (not both gly and invisible). But how to go about deciding the...

A yuan-ti pureblood PC from Volo's gets it as a racial feature starting at first level.

The mastonboys ride horses, herd mastodons. The native orcs occassional raid these. The spice is consumed - mostly in the Moist Ivory Pub which has a dripping mastodon skull painted on its sign - in milk, turning it blue. The player's have rooms in the local inn which is slightly burned, run...
