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

    Yes this has been posted before IIRC, and yet they still try to dispel instantaneous spells (like I said before, it's every couple of pages that they try)! Thanks for posting this again though, might jog their memory?

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

    Or you could actually read the posts in question 20 pages back, not take snippets of them out of context weeks later, not make claims about what I believe, not create strawmen to argue against, ask questions instead.. or you know what, how about you just knock it off completely and just wait...

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

    @ryan92084 Agreed on most of what you said Ryan. Though I will say that going over discreet parts as you put it for spells is important because it's good to know up to what point someone can cast counterspell for example. I posted break downs upthread for various spells.

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

    Great question, post on twitter and see if you get a response about the RAI :) For my part and the RAW, the spell is still an instantaneous spell regardless of being held or not. Readying a spell does not change any of its effects, features or stat block unless specifically stated. Remember...

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

    The specifics are listed in this thread, available to anyone who wants to read them. Taking a snippet of someone's post out of context weeks after it's posted to then make a bunch of claims about what they are saying as a whole, alone, should make it obvious here. But that's ok, I've said it's...

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

    Ovinomancer Listen, we're 52 pages in and deadlocked until we get a dev response. I'm not going to waste my time explaining how someone is misrepresenting something I said 30 pages earlier just because they decided to create a strawman about it now weeks / months later. If people really care...

    D&D 5E (2014) How cognizant are you of the rules of the game?

    Suddenly I'm unsure if I misinterpreted the poll or not myself.. lol

    D&D 5E (2014) question about surprise

    The passage lists being hidden because it specifically explains how it works when neither side tries to hide or one side tries to hide or both. But surprise is assigned based on failure to notice a threat. It doesn't matter the situation at hand, if you fail to notice a threat before something...

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

    Well to be fair Zorku, if you're not a fan of re-reading 10 or twenty pages of a thread then I can honestly say that I'm not a fan of going back and re-reading my dozens of previous posts in order to respond to someone creating a strawman 51 pages in with only a snippet of text out of hundreds...

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

    @Zorku seebs said he sent a tweet up-thread but I guess he/she hasn't received a response yet. And to clarify, seebs is also misrepresenting what I said in the last 20 pages or so in regards to the quote on the previous page, post #490. He's taking a small bit of text only out of hundreds of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Natural Attacks, Shields and Two Weapon Fighting

    This post is spot on. Natural Weapons do not and will never qualify for two-weapon fighting unless specifically stated to be (as in an exception is specifically called out). Good post Hawk!

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

    I think it's really the part where it's "This is done at level 17" that should be putting things into focus. I think some posters are ignoring this fact.

    D&D 5E (2014) Was it too much? Dealing with TPKs and more

    I would have made the transformed people revert back into their former selves once the druid was killed and/or his druidic place of power was disrupted. Then there's no need to worry about getting out of the woods, it's more about finding the people and saving them. You had nothing to gain...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build Help - Dex Based Fighter/Barbarian - Want to do it all

    lol ooook. I'm getting the feeling that we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this because you're just not getting what I'm explaining and you're shifting the goal posts of the discussion as you're going along. GL HF to you. And btw, if your DM is going to give you a room full of...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    You fire the hand crossbow, you need to reload. If you have anything in your other hand (the one not holding the hand crossbow) you can't reload. You would need to drop or store whatever you're holding first. So you could do an attack with your melee weapon and then an attack with your ranged...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build Help - Dex Based Fighter/Barbarian - Want to do it all

    I was going off of basic armors available to level 1 characters in character creation as per the PHB guidelines. If you have a DM which is allowing you to buy different starting equipment go for it :) I also missed to specify armor being as 2-3 as well since you can easily just pick up leather...

    D&D 5E (2014) Build Help - Dex Based Fighter/Barbarian - Want to do it all

    I would just stick with fighter tbh. Not having STR, you lose the main draws of low level barbarism: rage damage bonus + reckless attack. By going pure fighter you can grab medium armor, a shield and a good dex mod to make your AC a solid number. 10 base + 2-3 armor + 3 dex + 2 shield = 17-18...

    D&D 5E (2014) Empowered Evocation plus Magic Missile?

    Ah yes, I remember when WOTC came to us for a comprehensive list. We spent weeks on it and then they completely ignored the key parts :) Thanks WOTC... Though who knows, maybe what we submitted had some impact on 5e. Think positive!

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    Actually here's the rub. You can't reload a crossbow, even a one handed crossbow without a free hand. This is something that was clarified a few months ago. So if you have the traditional melee weapon in one hand and the hand crossbow in the other, you can't reload. You have to sheathe or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Empowered Evocation plus Magic Missile?

    Each power in 4e had its own flavor text, even things everyone had by default like Melee basic Attack and Ranged Basic Attack. The flavor text simply wasn't mixed in with the rules text to avoid people using flavor text as rules. Which is a very common problem for other editions, even 5e. IE...
