Yes, I know... this topic has been treated over and over again, yet... I'm trying to play, and appreciate, D&D 5th ed. using Rules As Written. At the moment, D&D 5th ed is my go-to-game for Fantasy Settings and Campaigns, nevertheless I've got some problem with some of its rules. I think the...

Many Thanks!

Hi everybody, pretty much what the title says: using the RAW, are Gargoyles and Elementals affected by Sleep Spell? It affects, if I'm not wrong, creatures who can be charmed: are Elementals considered creatures that can be charmed? And what about shapechangers as Lycanthropes? In the campaign...

Thanks again!

In the campaign I'm running as a DM, out of three players, two have multiclassed: they started both at 1st level, a half orc barbarian and a dex based elf fighter. At 2nd level, the barbarian has taken a level as a paladin and the elf has taken a level as a cleric, war domain. The player of the...

Ok, just minutiae, maybe... Using again the RAW, for how many miles can a party travel on horseback on a daily basis, on a plain terrain? Many thanks!

Mmm... looking at the DMG Errata (latest version) and the Basic Rules (latest version) it seems that casting a spell from a scroll takes the normal casting time of the spell itself, and not an action, as written in my printed copy of the DMG. I'm not sure if I like this errata, istinctively I...

Thanks again!

Just a question: where did you find this sentence? Many thanks again!

Many Thanks Indeed!

Hi everybody, pretty much what the title says: my group (I'm the DM) is going to encounter in the next adventure of the campaign I'm running several monsters with resistances or immunities to non magical weapons: one of the fighters in the party has a magical longbow (+1 to hit and +1 to...

Hi everybody! I've just found out that in the DMG (pp. 139 and 200) it is quite clearly written (under "Scrolls" and "Spell Scrolls"): 1) p. 139: "Whatever the nature of the magic contained in a scroll, unleashing that magic requires using an action to read the scroll" 2) "If the spell is on...

Hi everybody, and Happy New Year's Eve! Something maybe silly or futile... I can't figure out, according to the rules as written, the D&D races' adventuring starting age, particularly for elves: do they start at about 30 years, as humans, and just live longer, or do they start at 80 - 100 years...

Many many thanks indeed to everybody, and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year, for your lives and your gaming!

Many many thanks indeed to everybody, and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year, for your lives and your gaming!

Hi everybody, In my group one of my players plays a dex based elf fighter, who in combat often tries to shift as quickly as possible from using his bow to fighting hand to hand with his rapier and his shield. My question is: how long does it take him, in terms of rounds, using the rules as...

I really love the fact that there are no Magic Shops, by default! For me, Magic, even in a fantasy setting, should be something astonishing,mysterious and unpredictable, something to be handled with a lot of care by gifted few peoples... Yes, also for this reason, D&D 5ed is definetely now my...

Hi everybody and (almost) Happy New Year! Using the "rules as written": 1) How long does it take casting a spell from a scroll? Does it take the usual casting time for that spell, or does it take an action, since you're casting it from a scroll? 2) If that spell requires Concentration, does it...

Hi everybodym I'm not very good at math, but it seems to me that sometimes Passive Perception is more effective than the Active one. One of the players in my group plays a 1 lvl. dex and wis based fighter, with 16 in Wisdom, who is Proficient in Perception, and has a Passive Perception of 15...

Let's say that a character wielding a weapon and a shield wants to attack with both. I usually allow this, using the "two weapon fighting" rules. My question is: does this character get his AC bonus from the shield after he attacked with the shield, against attacks made against me until his...
