    Question on where/when D&D Encounters can be played

    My guess is there is a Semantics issue... When you say "Run Encounters", what, precisely do you mean? What content are you talking about? Why do you think that will be beneficial for your convention. Without going back and verifying.... I believe you can run the hardcover content.... but I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Touch attacks and finesse property.

    I don't know of any spells that work that way. And none of them are finesse. Magic Stone using a sling, or BB/GFB using finesse are the only ways I know of to use a spell and get SA damage.

    Playing a lower level copy of your character

    While this is very solid advice. The Official stance is there are no tiers in the hardcovers, and thus technically no such restrictions as detailed above. That said, it is good to stay within the spiirit of the rules and not be a very different level than the hardcover is geared for, nor a very...

    Refluffing limits

    The Glaive into Spear refluff is an interesting situation. There are *very* few situations in the game when piercing vs slashing makes a mechanical difference. Plus, most weapons damage type is their typical primary damage type. For example, a glaive does piercing damage also, but primarily...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast Mulitclass Clarification

    the problem is not with the Cantrip scaling,the problem is with the +Cha boost. So limit that boost. Agonizing Blast: Add +Cha (up to Warlock level) to each EB beam.

    D&D 5E (2014) OotA: Duergar in Sloobludop

    For us, he got split from the party during the confusion.... but the party is now in Gracklstugh, and he will show up shortly after. I might have him repay them by exposing the secret entrance to the caverns....

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    You are making up more rules. I asked last time for a page number... and you did not provide one. So lets try again. Please provide the rule that says 'skill use requires an action'. (Even 'generally') You are making lots of assumptions.... I never said you can't... I said the rule did not...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    IF you didn't make it up, please provide the rules quote that says everyone always know where everyone else is, every time, automatically.... Oh, and what is the range on that? Does dim light or darkness affect this 'inherrent' knowledge? Your example is trivial. *Of course* you would see the...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    That is provably false. Under Skills, the Dex(Stealth) skill says it is used for sneaking past, slipping away, moving up, etc.... it *never* says anything about requiring the Hide Action. The Hide Action is listed as one option that will allow you to use the Dex(Stealth) kill to try and Hide...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    THe OP was not the one referring to "entering Stealth" or "Stealth Mode".... that was the people saying that the Dex (stealth) skill requires the Hide Action. Which, by the way, never even gives an allowance for movement at all. The Hiding sidebar does not give permission for movement...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    There is no rule saying they will automatically see you, you made that up. In combat, they will 'usually' see you if you leave your hiding spot. But you are not 'usually' trying to be sneaky against someone in a different room that may or may not even be aware you are there. This situation...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    Of course it is. It is the Dex(Stealth) skill. Your claim is the same as saying there is not "remember info" in 5E because it is not listed in the game mechanics. Thus you can't use your knowledge of History or Arcana etc to remember anything. There is no 'intimidate' action in the game...

    D&D 5E (2014) is stealth an action?

    Because the rules say none of those things. There is no "stealth mode" There is no "enter stealth" There is no restriction on stealthy movement during combat. If you want to walk down the hallway quietly, you make a Dex(Stealth) check. There is no rule saying this requires an action. (Nor does...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oath of Vengeance Paladin?

    The Oath does not absolve the Paladin from acting within his moral code, it does not protect him from societies moral code, nor societies laws. He may be feel forced to bend his moral code (aka alignment) in order to conquer the greater evil, but as soon as he starts willfully breaking his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Draw a sword and sheathe a dagger with free action ?

    Thats actually pretty much *exactly* what it means. If you go to a store and they say "for $1 you can get a hotdog or a corndog", so you give them a dollar and grab both.... they are not going to be pleased. The list is pretty straightforward, it says you can do A *or* B.... and somehow you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    An at will cantrip *with* taking a specific invocation lets the Warlock outperform the BM in one specific manuever. Seems okay with me...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    Noctem, 2 items: 1) I don't think Ariel needs to contact JC, because JC has already explicitly commented on this, and Ariel just asserts he is 'wrong'. He will just assert the same thing for any future tweets. 2) I am surprised you will not answer Ovinmancer's direct question... he has asked it...
