    D&D 5E (2014) Time Tracking in 5E, Concentration, Save at Start or End

    I think you may be confused. The spell only works for a single hit. You can concentrate and hold the spell for up to a minute, but all that is getting you is a delay until that first hit. You do not get it for each weapon hit during that minute. Usually it is completed immediately upon your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lost in Darkness

    I don't think that will work. It says the darkness goes around corners. That is not like light, which only goes in straight lines. So if you have an opening, like in a lantern, it will go out from there and you will find yourself in a sphere of darkness.

    D&D 5E (2014) Invisibility and Perception

    Greater Invisibility is amazing on a rogue. They can attack with backstab, move away without an OA, and hide as their bonus action.

    D&D 5E (2014) Invisibility and Perception

    It also means they can move without drawing any opportunity attacks, as you only get those against a target you can see. This is very good for getting out of a tight spot. Additionally, it makes you untargetable to quite a few spells. Spells from Command to Disintegrate to Magic Missile all...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Another New Ranger Variant

    Dev intent is for it to be a full turn, including a move and bonus action. This comes from a tweet clarifying that you get all of a turn, not just an action.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rarity: Winged Boots v Boots of Levitation - Huh?

    5e has very spotty rules on the difference between flight and hover. From PHB 191: "If a flying creature is knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it has the ability to hover or it is being held aloft by magic."...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rarity: Winged Boots v Boots of Levitation - Huh?

    The rarity levels on items is way out of line in this edition. They put Sovereign Glue as a legendary item.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Players Didn't Like 5e :( Help Me Get Them Into It!!

    The quote is not of just one player, it is a collection of at least three player's responses. So I agree with you that this group is not going to be playing 5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealth

    Isn't the halfling hiding behind a box almost exactly describe what real world magicians do all the time? Pretty girl goes inside box in the center of the stage. Magician makes a comment, waves around a bit, and then opens the box. Girl is gone! Everyone saw her go in and there is nowhere...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking with a warhorse

    That is what I pictured and have heard in stories, yes. Trampling also. What is strange about thinking a horse with a rider might attack those around it?

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking with a warhorse

    I would be fine with that, if the feat actually let one attack with the mount. It does not. It gives advantage on your attacks against smaller creatures, and some defense stuff. Even with the feat your mount cannot attack if controlled. It seems counter to what it seems a mount should do.

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking with a warhorse

    Is a mount "intelligent"? It has an INT of 2. Does all it require is that the mount have an INT stat of 1+? I was under the belief that required something higher, but you may be correct. That would make it better but the separate initiative counts brings up a bunch of problems of its own...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking with a warhorse

    Can someone please help me see if I am missing something? I was looking into doing some fighting on a warhorse with my paladin. However, it seems that a warhorse never actually gets to attack. A domesticated beast is always considered controlled when ridden. That means it cannot take an...

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    Actually, there are lots of instructions on how to load a pistol with one hand. Here and Here are a couple. For more heroic ways, you could check out how Hit Girl does it. I consider it a fairly reasonable ruling. Just saying that there is possibilities, at least for high fantasy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Flight ability: Does this make the Aarakocra overpowered?

    I just don't get why it would be any harder to shoot while gliding than it would while walking or riding a mount. Do you disallow advantage to anyone who moved during their turn?

    D&D 5E (2014) Improved Find Familiar

    I think a psudodragon or imp gotten from negotiation would play very differently than the version you get with the find familiar spell. The former are the true creature, have free will, and are gone if they die. The latter are spirits that take the form, must follow commands, and can easily be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Flight ability: Does this make the Aarakocra overpowered?

    Hover will only effect creatures who have no room to move. Unless the Aara is trying to fly in a small diameter room that has no effect. It takes its move to go in a circle and shoots. It really maters only if you have some way of restraining the flying creature. Flyers are very good if they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell Area doubts !

    You could certainly bring back the volume calculation, I think it was removed for simplicity. I remember stopping the game for minutes while the DM had to figure out the amount of hallway that was filled up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Flight ability: Does this make the Aarakocra overpowered?

    Why would he "stop to shoot"? There is no need, he can just make lazy circles and shoot at will. Flight does not require their arms. Just as someone can shoot while running on the ground, so can they in the air. Dragons don't fall out of the sky if they decide to use their breath weapon.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    So cost has nothing to do with the complexity of building the system for that class or size of options, but is based only on if they were in the starting set? Seems strange since sorcerer is almost the same class, and costs twice as much. But thanks for answering.
