    D&D 5E Dodge and Opportunity Attacks

    Hi everybody, using the RAW, do you think that a character using the Dodge Action can use her Reaction to make an Attack of Opportunity against an enemy? Mechanically speaking, I can't find a specific rule saying that she can't. Many thanks!

    D&D 5E Resistance and odd - damage: how many hit points of damage does a character take?

    Many thanks, I was just wondering if the rounded down fraction is the damage you absorb or the damage you take: so did you absorb or take 4 damage? Thanks again

    D&D 5E Using Magic Items: Elemental Stones and Staves with spells

    Hi, using RAW, are there any restrictions about which classes can use which magic items? I mean, my players could find an elemental stone and a staff that can allow its wielder to cast the Hallow spell once per week. Can any character class use these two magic items, or are there any...

    D&D 5E Resistance and odd - damage: how many hit points of damage does a character take?

    Hi everybody, not a big issue here, but, say a raging Barbarian (with damage resistance against slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage) has been hit for 9 points of damage before applying resistance: how many hit points of damage does he actually receive? 4 or 5? Many Thanks, Happy gaming...

    D&D 5E Preserve Life (Life Domain Cleric Feature): do you like it?

    Personally, I don't. I don't like the fact that you can't heal more than half than a creature's maximum hit points. I find it too rigid and even clumsy, in a sense, from a narrative point of view. I would remove the proficiency with heavy armour from the Clerics of Life, and I would remove as...

    D&D 5E Changing Cantrips

    Ok, I know that certain spell casting classes can change one of the spells they know when they get a new one. What about cantrips? According to the rules as written, could a cleric change for instance one of the cantrips she knows at the level in which she can learn a new one? I couldn't find...

    D&D 5E D&D 5 ed and Undead: are they subject to criticals, flanking and so on...?

    Last night my party fought an epic and scay battle against a banshee: it was terrific, mainly because the DM has been great at portraying the tragic and violent story behind the death of the elf maiden and her daughters and the mood of the encounter, and we as a group have been good at...

    D&D 5E Dispel Magic & Spellcasting Ability Check

    Hi everybody! If you try to dispel a 4th level (or higher) spell with dispel magic you have to succesfully pass a spellcasting ability check: do you use your proficiency bonus in this ability check? On one part, the spell description doesn't say anything about it, so maybe you're not supposed to...

    D&D 5E Racial Traits: what do they exactly include?

    In the Monster Manual, p.342, it is written that you can add Racial Traits to NPCs without altering their Challenge Rating. But what are the traits exactly considered as "racial", according to RAW? Are "sub racial traits" considered as "racial traits"? For instance, if i want to create a High...

    D&D 5E Druids, Wildshape & Special Abilities of Animals

    Hi everybody: if a druid with wildshape assumes the shape of a poisonous snake, does he get also the capability to use the poison as a weapon to inflict more damage or conditions? :confused: Or if she assumes the shape of a wolf or a panther, can she use the pack tactics of the former or the...

    D&D 5E Divine Oracle: how can I create a character like this?

    Hi everybody and merry Christmas! I'd like to create in D&D 5 a divine oracle, not necessarily similar to the Pathfinder's same class concept, but basically a cleric, or a divine oriented character, with the gift to see things in the past and most of all to foresee to a limited extent the...

    D&D 5E Is the Noble class a good Warlord substitute?

    Hi everybody, I'm a En5ider subscriber, and I'm very happy with the Noble Class, because I think it added something that D&D lacked so far: a non combat, non spell caster viable character class! I'm really so happy with this: I'll be considering including some of the modofications suggested by...
