good points guys @SilverDEFENDER, yes, that's a good point, and also to Giant2005, you are right, the game normally spells it our explicitely the way it's randomized, when it is... Thanks for the quick answers!

Just starting with a 5e druid on lvl8. quick question please: PHB RAW states in the Goodberry spell description that "UP TO 10 BERRIES APPEAR"... looking through all the forums, noone seems to question the fact that this automatically means 10 berries, or at least it's in the hand of the caster...

Hehe, yes, the frog debuffing is fun, it's true that I was looking at it more from a buffing perspective - otherwise it's more of a save or die spell, akin to banishment for priests, but more fun [emoji16]

Thank you all for the prompt and good answers. I accept that the spell was designed this way to taper off at higher levels, nonetheless the choice of wording seems poor in the context... Or at least there should be a clarification... Thx again

Hi, i have seen all kinds of discussions around polymorph, but not about his question:How do you work with it at higher levels? The spell allows you to change member of your group into a beast (as in the monster group "Beast") with the same challenge rating as the group member has levels (or...

yes, thanks, that makes sense of course - I'm still not entirely in the right 5E frame of mind... correct, that was probably 3.5E... in any case I remember my monk weaving very easily through any battlefield control challenge... ;-)

thanks all for your answers! @Paraxis / Saelorn, it's the page 272 DMG stuff I was looking for... Since I'm not mastering, I did not read that (but our DM did not either...) anyway, that opens the route to a DEX based escape route as well. this i don't understand, however: both the Tumble and...

Thank you, misty step and thunder wave interesting options, even if I don't have them on my spell lists as a light cleric... Banishment would also work as a last resort, but very expensive...(High level) have listed shove already above, and surrender/negotiations can always be tried...

How do you escape/run away in practice in 5e, if surrounded by hostile creatures, or opponents blocking an exit route? Painful situation we just encountered: enemy guards (same medium size as us), were blocking exit corridor as we were trying to flee, and it all ended in tears... ;) RAW...

Thanks for all the replies - there is plenty we can work with in them :)

Sorry if it has been covered elsewhere, but I really could not find an answer to this: So we lay our heads to rest after a hard days of adventuring. 3 hours into what is supposed to be a long rest we get attacked by some freaking imps. Here is the question: having gone to bed 3 hours before...

Just covering another aspect linked to the theme of "do I have enough spells outside healing as a non-life cleric": Again, from someone only just starting with 5E, and coming from PF, the number of spells available per long rest seems to be quite a bit smaller, considering that in PF/3.5 you...

Thanks green_destiny, i hear you on the Tempest cleric (sorry, I misquoted it as Thunder Cleric above ;-) . That said, in most adventures you end up underground or in a dungeon one way or another, so playing a Tempest Cleric, who is really best outdoors, would mean that he cannot be at his...

Wow, thanks guys/gals for all the responses - overall it seems like healing HP after encounters is not such an issue due to inherent/HD related and speard out general healing capabilities of each character. So the really critical time is combat healing, for which any non-life cleric has enough...

It would be great to hear from players with practical 5E experience on the following: "My issue with Life Clerics is that some of my players feel that if they want to use non-healing spells, they need to play a Life Cleric, which is kind of the opposite of intent. The reason is twofold A) the...

Hi there, Having received many useful tips in the past in this forum, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following questions: - Underwater fighting is not described in any meaningful way in the core books. Any tips on where I could find them? Or any tried and tested house...

StreamOfTheSky, yes you're right, SA is actually not so much the point here as the mobility on the battlefield generally, where we will be able to move around, avoiding AoOs (he with Mobiliy I with Tumble) and flanking opponents as often as poss...

Thanks guys, this is helpful... looks like the Rogue makes a whole lot more sense than the Scout... We have a quick barbarian in our group (who has Sping Attack), so I am hoping on his co-operation to achieve many many flanking opportunities... ;-)

Hi all, given you very helpful comments previously, I was wondering if anyone had any experience playing a Monk/Rogue of Monk/Scout combination (emphasis on unarmed strike and martial arts feats/skills such as flying kick and tripping). Which one is more practical? And very importantly...

All, many thanks, these are all very good suggestions, some of which I might be able to actually use... ;-) Problem being that our DM is ver restricitve in the use of too many different books ;-(
