For the chain of command to be in effect there has to be a command given. A creature that awakens in existance with the memories of someone else knows exactly what it's going to happen. Being a creature of 17th level with 20 intelligence is exactly the problem. It does not go out of control. It...

And still nobody considers that the second simulacrum ever created would probably immediately say something along the lines of "i wish my master was real and not bound by any type of compulsion" or something along the lines, even before the "chain of command" order pass. You know... memories...

And all of this is disregarding the fact that the phrase is "Normally, you can’t hide from someone if you’re in full view". That "from someone" somehow keeps disappearing, even if it's in full view of anyone that reads that phrase. But that certainly must mean that someone you are trying to...

Oh, i see... you do not mean an ambush but a night raid! Ok, now i understand a little bit better some comments you made. Btw, the only meaning i know for "ambush" is "waiting someone while hiding to attack them by surprise", and you instead were indicating the opposite. There are no move...

Before starting: Zapp could you please use the multiquote function? Of 18 (well, 19 with mine) posts of this thread, half of them are yours and many have with no rime or reason to be stand alone. To me this is borderline unreadable. I know there's no rule against multiposting and i'm no mod. I'm...

That's not how it works however. Suprise is determined individually. All 5 just have to beat the LOWEST score for someone to be surprised, not the highest. Edit: Let me clarify: I mean that a successful ambush is not required to have EVERYONE surprised to be considered an ambush. Even just...

Replies to Hriston's posts The fact that you refute proof does not mean it was not proven. Except that for that to be true you have to change the sentences, the article and the ruleset. Then your reading is consistent, because it's no longer a reading, it's a modification. Which , yet again...

I was about to post one of my long posts again. I just reread it and it was flamey and not worth posting. I apologize even if it's something that will never see the light of day. However, i'll leave two thoughts here. First, is that "When you try to hide, make a Dexterity (Stealth) check...

Neither, but 2 is the closest to what could happen. For surprise only: If even a single component of a group is noticed, surprise is no longer a factor for that character. Each individual passive perception is compared to each individual stealth roll, and if even one stealth roll is lower than...

Even if you manage to make a Simulacra chain without using either an immense amount of gold or their 9th level spell slot used, you would still end up with either: 1) True Polimorph cast on the snow mound the simulacrum is made of - ending up destroyed, breaking the simulacrum spell and having...

Sadly unless you have mind reading powers or some other way to know how WotC want you to play their game (the internet might suffice :P) the only things you can base your rulings on are the book and your experience (i.e. also counting reality). The fact that RAI does not change doesn't help...

Errata are text changes. If a phrase meaning changes due to the changes of text, the rule has changed. That's the whole point of errata. A simple forgotten "not" can change a rule upside down. Adding clearly to the text of hiding has changed the text from "you must not have line of sight no...

Just to add to cbwjm, You do not need 2 weapons. One suffices. And yes. Quicken it too.

I get why you answered and how you answered. It was a nice rebuttal but for the sake of this discussion it still does not hold relevance, IMHO. It should not have been brought up in the first place (again, IMHO).

Which, contrary to what you think, means Rules As Intended. You are saying that that what the developer think it's the right way - not yours, because yours does not matter. The acronym you are looking for is "RAF", Rules As Fun. It's what works for your group, no matter what everyone else has...

And that's where the rule says you are wrong. The observer cannot follow the elf. The situation is enough for the elf to escape notice. Remember that we are not talking about a light snowfall, it's a snowfall that's heavy enough to make all sight based perception rolls at disadvantage. It is a...

The second part is false, albeit yours is a logical conclusion. The rule say that "until you stop hiding or you are discovered". How you are discovered is not mentioned specifically but there's a check that people can do to notice your presence. There's also to say that the most logical...

Flamestrike Except that the elf is not invisible, and as such the second image is wrong. If that was a Waldo image where someone is difficult to see but it's possible to, then the image would be relevant. As it is, it's a misrepresentation. The rule states "it can't be clearly seen", not "it...

1) Yes. There's no reason to prevent someone from hiding in combat, assuming the requirements for hiding are met, just because it's combat. There's even a specifc action to be taken to hide (the Hide Action). 2)This depends if we are using a grid or the Theater of the Mind. On a grid: No. If...

Can you explain? Is that a formatting issue? Never said that fiction is irrelevant. I said that fiction does not change how a rule is written. Fiction has to work with the rule. If you do not like the rule, you change the rule. If you do not like the fiction, you change the fiction. If you do...
