Thanks everybody. These are great tips!

Hi all, I'm DMing a 5E game with some older folks that have never played an RPG before. I've been playing since AD&D back in the day, but I've never introduced the game to people that have no clue about the game or role playing at all. This will more than likely just be a one-time thing, so...

Doh! Never mind. Thanks for clarifying. ;)

For example: Misty Visions. "You can cast silent image at will without spending a spell slot or material components." Does this mean you automatically "know" silent image? Or do you have to have silent image as one of your "Spells Known" in order to use these benefits?

My interpretation of Step of the Wind only requires the bonus action for the Disengage or Dash. The jump portion of the ki feature is not a bonus action. See the text: "You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a Bonus Action on Your Turn, and your jump distance is...

Yes. That's how I'd go with it.

Thanks all. Made my decision. Blink will not trigger the Boom in my campaign.

Great point. Totally forgot about the duration of Booming Blade and timing of Blink. Nice catch.

Thanks for the replies everybody. Doesn't look like there's a clear consensus or rule for this. My initial feeling was frustration at what I thought seemed OP. But some of the replies here have changed my mind to allow it at X6. Super Monk Jumping would be super cinematic.

LOL! I am the DM. : ) Wondering if anybody knew of an official ruling of this.

My problem is that when you come back from the Ethereal plane with Blink, the spell doesn't specify if you moved or if you teleported you simply "return to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from." You don't walk or hop or run or crawl to...

Here's my sticking point with example of 10 ft default "jump distance". Step of wind says "jump distance is doubled for turn", so the characters "jump distance" is now 20. Then use Ring of Jumping which says "jump distance is tripled". Since her actual "jump distance" is now 20, using the ring...

I agree that the spell would still be in effect if you enter the Ethereal Plane. But I'm not so sure that entering the plane would be considered movement. I can see the point, though. I was more concerned that when they pop back 10 from where they went Ethereal it was considered movement.

So, for the purpose of bringing the boom... you don't consider when the blinking character "return(s) to an unoccupied space of (his/her) choice" that it was movement?

But Blink does not say that the character "moves" after they go Ethereal. You simply "return to an unoccupied space of your choice". Almost like a teleport, although it doesn't say teleport.

A Monk with Step of the Wind has a Ring of Jumping. Step of the Wind doubles jump distance, Ring of Jumping triples jump distance. Assuming she has the movement to do it.... her jump distance would be X6?

Creature is hit with booming blade. The creature then decides to use Blink. Does the spell do the boom if the creature blinks? Relevant booming blade info: "If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends." So is Blink considered a...

Yes, That's how I interpret it too.

Using an Azer for example. It says: Heated Body: A creature that touches the Azer or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes fire damage. Does this mean the creature has to willingly reach out and touch the Azer? Or would it apply to things like the Azer having a creature...

Is there an example of a spell (official 5E, previous D&D editions, 3rd party sources) that allows you to actually commune with the dead or a corpse? I'm looking for something more powerful than Speak with Dead and less powerful than Raise Dead. (Here's why I'm asking... in a recent game I...
