    D&D 5E (2014) Scabbard of... Silence?

    Kid? lol... Is age supposed to have some kind of relevance here? What you quoted doesn't even have anything to do with what you first stated. Double drawing and sheathing + the weapon being able to draw itself or come out of the bag on its own. Thanks for quoting something irrelevant I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Scabbard of... Silence?

    This is incorrect. No need to draw/sheathe twice. A weapon can't draw itself or remove itself from within a bag of holding, magical / sentient or not.

    D&D 5E (2014) Interrupting spellcasting

    By the rules, no. The only spell in the game designed to stop spellcasting is Counterspell. However, there could be a custom trap for example that the DM would use to trigger off a spell being cast within an area. Custom things like this are the DM's prerogative. The trap could lay down a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Agonizing Blast

    yes. That is how it works. Every time you hit with Eldritch Blast, and you hit or miss for each attack, you get to add your CHA modifier to the damage. The same can be said for the pushing invocation for example. It's basically an invocation to make EB be on par damage wise with classes who...

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

    He must have been talking about non multi-attack 1 action stuff.

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

    Counterspell does interrupt, just like Shield. It then can negate it's own trigger, just like Shield. That doesn't change the fact that it does interrupt. The moment someone starts casting a spell, before the spell is done being cast and any effects come into play, Counterspell is used. It...

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

    I wouldn't allow the trigger either in most cases simply because doing so creates a predecent that spells not specifically made to interrupt spell casting (as in spells other than Counterspell) can be used to interrupt other spells as they are being cast. Not saying I would never allow for that...

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

    Imo this would be the breakdown: Declare you use the ready action + pick trigger. Expend Action for your turn Expend the associated spell slot Perform / use up any V, S, M requirements Finish casting the spell *Pause* At this point the spell is cast but the effects, the energy, is being held...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do (non-deadly) traps exist in your campaign?

    Damn, wish I had seen that project before the deadline Valador. That looks amazing.

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

    To which features are you referring to specifically and why do you feel justified in claiming that they are cause to believe that they explain why the 5e action economy system doesn't allow for this or that?

    D&D 5E (2014) Highest Possible 5E AC

    You just listed 2 spells, which I highlighted and then go on to say "before spells or magic items"... *confused*

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

    I've admitted in this thread to being wrong and I changed my interpretation of things multiple times as a result of what others have posted (like dev tweets or good arguments). I've asked questions, suggested people contact devs over twitter to advance the discussion, etc.. I have never and...

    +1 that's one of the more basic discussion non-starters. It feels like this has been his point of view for this entire thread tbh.

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

    We've talked about multiple things and multiple things are covered by dev statements (which were linked during the thread). Not all of them, like a corner case scenario, which is why I didn't say all of them and I didn't restrict my post to what is currently being discussed and instead opted to...

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

    Regardless of what Arial would like us to believe, we have multiple dev tweets that tells us the RAI doesn't allow for dispel magic to do what he claims. The RAW doesn't agree either. To agree with him, you have to ignore both RAI and RAW but favor his personal definition of a word which he's...
