    D&D 5E Material Components: How Hard to Find in Your Games?

    In our game we have pretty much hand-waved the components as the players all make a point of having an arcane focus. Perhaps we are understanding the rules incorrectly. The exception being priced items. The 200gp diamond is for casting Glyph of Warding, I believe. We had quite the discussion in...

    D&D 5E Princes of the Apocalypse/Elemental Evil Player's Companion Errata

    The issue we had with Knights body is that the cultists got it into the crypt without disturbing the resident zombies.. There are other issues with SS monastery - who has the keys to the doors doesn't quite make sense. Jurth is mentioned as having a key to the gate to the steps down to the...

    Perhaps you're just missing the fact that you were unlucky to miss.. Seems like a good plan to stack the Smite damage. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    They went back to the well room in order to head back upstairs and met three patrolling duergar. I was somewhat disappointed at how easily they killed them off! They head upstairs and sneak around. The rogue/wizard attempts to pick the lock on Hellenrae's bedroom. She hears and yanks the door...

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    It wouldn't take long to do a practical experiment with a friend and a wall. I'm pretty sure that if you're behind the wall so they can't see you then you won't be able to see them. If you move to the edge of the wall so you can see along the edge of it, they will be able to see you. Unless your...

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    I guess the basis of the arguement is people's interpretation of total cover. For me, you can't be in total cover and be able to know where enemy are to target them. For all you know, they have gone into cover themselves, or are advancing on your position... I guess others can rule differently...

    Not trying to be an a-hole about it, just don't see how your approach could work. 😊 Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    How can you see the target if you are in total cover? "A target with *total cover* can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by the object" If you...

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    When trying to hide again, the rogue must make another Stealth check - if hiding in the same spot, you could choose to rule that the check is made with disadvantage as the monster has an inkling that someone is hiding there. (I think that's what I would do). Pick a different spot to hide and no...

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    Surely this depends on the nature of your hiding place. And how much cover it is giving you. Total cover - you are completely hidden, and it works both ways so your target is completely hidden to you too. Definitely have to move to attack in this case 3/4 Cover - you are mostly hidden (behind an...

    D&D 5E Ranged attacks from behind a corner/an object

    I've not read previous threads on this so may be grasping the wrong end of the stick, but I don't think it's about being 'obscured', it's about levels of 'cover'. I would play it this way at my table: 1) Yes, but you can't have total cover. You can have 3/4 cover or half cover, depending on...

    D&D 5E Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    They explored the crypt and fought off the zombies, after some initial concern they would be mummies! The tomb of Samular Caradoon initially confuses them, Then they notice the lid has been recently moved and they take a look inside. They recognise the body from the description of the Mirabar...

    D&D 5E Can Non-classed NPCs and Monsters Use Spell Scrolls?

    If it fits into the story you're trying to tell then why not..? Literally tonight I just had a dwarf safe NPC cast Knock from a scroll. It fitted into the story and where I wanted the PCs to go. There was a risk for the rogue/illusionist that he might fail to cast. And I wanted them to get...

    D&D 5E Designing scenario's / episodes that can be finished in 4-hour sessions

    Take a look at this: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/198501/Complete-Adventures-of-MT-Black-Vol-I $10 for a load of adventures that cover at least up to fifth level if not higher. I've played a few of them and they are pretty good. If you have Phandelver, I would say save yourself the...
