    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Trickster questions

    Thanks for everyone's input, but I don't see a consensus to date - it looks pretty solid in the area of invisible magehand legerdemain and items carried , but the starting spells for AT seems fairly evenly split between 1 non Illusion/Enchantment and only starting non I/E spells at the 8th level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Trickster questions

    1: Is everything handled by MH Legedemain when invisible, invisible too? IE when I pick a pocket with the invisible hand is it invisible too? How about something in the invisible hand that you intend to stow upon another's person is it invisible until the hand lets go of it? 2: The wording on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Items found during the game: How do you handle the "oh look, this random dungeon just happens to have that sword my character wanted."

    OK, from a player standpoint (because it has been 30 years since I've DM'd or played until recently) I have had to fight a being who used the item on me and defeated him, which is very satisfactory and a way to explain why I know at least some of its properties. I also would like to find items...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and the No Good, Low Down, Dirty Rotten Arcane Trickster

    Take away the MH Legerdemain and give the Arcane Trickster access to all Wizard spells instead - with perhaps using the multiclass table on page 165 of PHB instead of the AT table. (says the Arcane Trickster..hehehe)

    D&D 5E (2014) Useful Mobile Apps For 5e?

    Thanks for the response. I finally found the solution - I was just downloading to my computer and then adding it to my dropbox and importing from there. I went back and downloaded the files directly into my dropbox and they imported just great. Do you know of any new tutorials for this version...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogue Sneak Attack frequency question

    Having read a few threads both here and on Wotc forums, I've seen discussions about Rogues being able to Sneak attack on their turn and then again if an AoO comes into play. The discussion always boils down to what a turn is vs what a round is. Unfortunately for my DM and myself, the threads...

    D&D 5E (2014) Useful Mobile Apps For 5e?

    I downloaded and paid the in-app for full version of Fight Club 5 and went to the fb page where I found xml files that seem to work for everyone there but me. I am not that well versed in xml (don't know anything about it) but whenever I try and open an xml file in the app I get a parse Error...

    D&D 5E (2014) A maladroit rogue?

    Excellent! Unfortunately, I am finding that this generation of D&D players never read fantasy books. If they've read anything, it's anime. I highly recommend reading the Inspirational reading in the back of the PHB.

    D&D 5E (2014) Trickster Rogue with Familiar doing sneak attack damage

    I know this is an older thread, but I think the Arcane Trickster could take Find Familiar or any other wizard spell at third level - it only says (s)he has to pick two spells from Enchantment or Illusion spells (page 98 PHB): Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a wizard learn a new cantrip from a scroll?

    So, when a new set of official cantrips/spells comes out, as in the current Elemental Evil Companion, how would those become available to established characters? Spells in scrolls yes, but cantrips no unless (par exemple) a 13th level MU takes on a Magic Initiate feat? I am new to 5E, so I don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Fighter level 11 only one shot with crossbow?

    Yes, I use a light crossbow with my Rogue in another campaign and he is pretty deadly with it. He just made 5th level tonight, so 3d6 here he comes! To answer why I used the crossbow - the Champion Fighter of the OP was out of javelins and on an extended underground campaign. It would be cool...

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Fighter level 11 only one shot with crossbow?

    Thanks! I had never seen that one. Trying to read cover to cover didn't work and I gave short schrift to that section. Longbow here I come, I suppose.

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Fighter level 11 only one shot with crossbow?

    I am playing said Champion Fighter and had not really used a ranged weapon. I have had a light Crossbow that I picked up early on. My first battle at 11th level and the 3 attacks (plus off-hand TWF) I was too far away to hit the Gorgon and fired my crossbow. I started to roll my next of what I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    Heh - I suspected as much, but try not to make assumptions. I was stationed in Schoeningen and Augsburg back in Cold War Germany. My Dad was a Zoomie. How's your German? I bet you could find German players around your area - surely there's a gamestore in your area. Anyway, good luck - hope you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    I would have to say that I pretty much would've said the same thing as "Silver Subscriber" - I just never thought about it. I think if I were a DM, I would rule that light would kill dark vision if it was a bright enough light - not sure I would do so in the case you describe because the amount...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    Not sure what you are asking. I have always treated dark vision as being what we veterans call Nightvision. I have often thought that if the game was trying to be "realistic," there would be some disadvantage transitioning between dark vision and regular vision. Anyone who has had night-fire...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    Most beings that live underground have dark vision, so it isn't so much an advantage as it is overcoming a disadvantage. I don't think my rogue would feel comfortable scouting underground with a light source, as there would be no way to hide or get in and out quickly without being seen. I guess...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    Isn't there a German equivalent to Meetup? I am new to my area, but found a gaming meetup in my new area. Perhaps if you posted a "seeking D&D game" with your general location in the various rpg forums, you could find a game near you. Plus, you aren't too far from Ramstein AFB if you don't mind...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a magic item.

    The DM said the LG Paladin's alignment changed, so his god took away his powers. He is being reprogrammed by the church - the player had been wanting to become an evil paladin, maybe that was the reason - their discussion took place while the rest of us took a break.
