Example. A party is wandering the underdark. A pack of bulletes burrow from the earth and surprise the party. For simplicity, say the Party rolled 20 for initiative, snd the monsters 10. If the party all had Alertness, does that mean they can react before the monsters can even attack on with...

So ... Does the Non Detection spell prevent the see invibility divination spell from seeing a creature protected by Non Detection ?

Yeah, I thought about that a bit more.. The whole keen sense thing I forgot about.. wolves, dogs, cloud giants etc all have keen hearing or smell... So that would help them detect nearby invisible creatures or creatures Hiding behind that tree.. Would still be at disadvantage to hit the...

• Light Obscurement (dim light, shadows, patchy fog, moderate fiolage): Imposes disadvantage on Perception checks. Hriston -(Again, only those that rely on sight. Perception versus Stealth does not rely on sight.) Prception vs. Stealth not rely on sight? How does not being able to see...

Thankyou for everyone's comments, they were most helpful. Core Concepts • You cannot Hide from a creature that can see you clearly (requires at least 3/4 cover or concealment). • Hide is an Action. When you try to Hide, make a Dexterity (Stealth) check. If you are successful, you are Unseen. •...

Thankyou for everyone's replies. They have been very helpful. I have come to the following conclusions, which I will be implementing in my campaign unless someone can convince I am in error? :) Core Concepts • You cannot Hide from a creature that can see you clearly (requires at least 3/4...

Yeah.. I am confused now ..lol Halflings for example specifically state that they can hide behind people, and wild elves in natural terrain ... From what I have seen posted they can do this in combat... So.. the human level 5 rogue ducks around the corner... Bonus action rolls a Stealth check...

When he ducks back out from around the corner, all of the orcs immediately see where he is (since he no longer has concealment) and none of them are surprised. Once combat starts and your target is alert, you cannot get advantage from hiding unless you have some way of gaining concealment...

So.. say the party is fighting a group of orcs in a 20 foot wide Hall in a dungeon, and the rogue runs down say 15 feet down the Hall and ducks around a corner into a corridor that exits the Hall. The orcs are in melee with the rogues party members, so he gets to roll a Stealth check to see if...

Stealth ... If you have successfully hidden from your target you get advantage on your attack roll. If you have 2-attacks/round do you get advantage on both, or just the first one? The corner! Rogue ducks around a corner or a tree in the forest - he hides .. ducks out and shoots ... repeat...

Saw this on sage advice ..When you make a Strength (Athletics) check to grapple or shove someone, are you making an attack roll? Again, the answer is no. That check is an ability check, so game effects tied to attack rolls don’t apply to it. Going back to an earlier question, the hex spell could...

Yes, I will keep using feats in my campaign. I like the flavor they allow. I think my big mistake was allowing a weapon with both an enhancement modifier AND the flametongue abilities. Combined it becomes lethal. Also, allowing a +2 item at low levels was a tactically bad decision on my part I...

I like feats & lots of treasure.. I just kind of went to far with it.. The last few encounters I was running CR 13 creatures against a level 7 party.. And I new I had problems when the encounter didn't last past round 4! LOL

I have PC in my party. An Elf Fighter 5 / Rogue 2 / Warlock 1. He has 20 Dex & the Sharpshooter feat. As a rogue he can use disengage to move around the battle to get a good shot. Then Pow/Pow - 2 attacks or 4 with Action Surge. His + to Hit = Prof +3, Archery Style +2, Dex +5, Magic Bow +2 =...

And this is why although in general I think 5e is a vast improvement over previous editions in most ways, there are a couple of aspects (skills & ability checks, in particular) that are a freaking fail. You know a RULE is broken when 8 different people reply with 8 diffferent answers.. /doh :(

Engulf: An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC # Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes. My query was does the victim just made a d20 + ability modifier roll as his action, OR is he allowed to use Athletics as his ability check like escaping a grapple ?

Recently a Gelatinous cube and some ettercaps engaged my PCs.. The cube has "engulf" and the ettercaps have "webbing" ... Both require a PC to maky a Strength Ability check DC to break free. Is this different from grapple/Athletics checks where you can make a number of attempts equal to your...

Yeah, I wan't asking because I was concerned about PC flight, as I don't consider it a big deal. I was just curious how people handle the armor issue with a creature that armors aren't designed for. If your tielfing finds a cool suit of +2 plate armor of resistance, do you allow the armor to...

So, with the new Sword Coast supplement, we have the option of introducing winged tieflings ( and aasimar presumably ). As written, you simply ditch your inate casting ability for wings ? WOW! nice trade :cool: As my players use the Feat system, I changed this to a racial Feat I called...

After initally playing the Rise of Tiamat in a Faerun setting, the one thing my players disliked the most was the low magic setting that prevails in 5e and Faerun. When we started playing PoA I changed the setting to Eberron, and everyone much prefers the high magic-tech base/ steam-punk feel...
