    D&D 5E Invisibility and Items On Target's Person

    According to the invisibility spell, "Anything the target is wearing or carrying is Invisible as long as it is on the target's person." My PC cast the spell, then used a rope to descend into a chamber. Because the the rope was on him when he became invisible, he claimed that the rope would...

    D&D 5E Fear with no Options

    Well, we just interpret the phrase "while Frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move" differently. There was a place to move. The creature just couldn't do it. In any...

    D&D 5E Fear with no Options

    Problem was that the creature did have somewhere to move. But he didn't have the speed to get there. That was the issue to me. I'm happy with the solution.

    D&D 5E Fear with no Options

    Thanks for the responses. I think if I could do it again, I would have warned the Bard before he cast the spell that I would allow the creature an escape action in case it would have made him change his mind on casting. In the heat of the moment, I didn't realize it would cause a problem until...

    D&D 5E Fear with no Options

    My group had a creature grappled and prone. Then the bard cast Fear on it, which says that a creature can only take the Dash action, unless there is nowhere to move. It technically did have places it could move, so it would would have used Dash. But since grappled and prone, the creature had a...

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat

    Uhhhhh.... so does this mean a mount can be ridden and not under the rider's control? http://www.sageadvice.eu/2016/11/01/revised-ranger-halfling-bear-companion-if-i-am-riding-him-can-he-still-attack/

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat

    I think I'll add in "per DM's discretion" as a firewall against sentient cruise missiles. : )

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat

    Thanks for all the responses and help. Here's what I told my group as the solution... * If the mount is unintelligent and/or under the rider’s control, the mount can only take dash/disengage/dodge on the rider's turn. The rider still has his/her full complement of turns (including their own...

    This helps. I thought Find Steed was too powerful for my tastes at this level. Thanks

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat

    So, my players are started to get some cool mounts and the mounted combat rules have me confused a little. Let me know if I got this straight: If the mount is unintelligent or under the rider's control, the mount can only take dash/disengage/dodge on the rider's turn. The rider still has...

    D&D 5E Throwing a Character/Breaking Grapple

    Recently, I had a PC grappled by a Water Elemental's "Whelm" (Whelm (Recharge 4-6): Each creature in the elemental's space must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If it is Large or smaller, it is also Grappled (escape DC 14). Until...

    How Do Mobile Devices Affect Your Game?

    I DM a group online via virtual table using audio only. So I have no idea what they are doing on their devices while we play. Sometimes they'll post a link or something in the chat for us all to look at. I don't care, really. As long as they are ready when it's their turn and I don't have to...

    Morrus on... Races

    I agree with shidaku. Provide the tools that would allow each group decide how important race should be in their game.
