Sounds like a boss in a Metroid Prime game. ...hey one of those is coming out this year.

Most 5E monsters haven't since 2021, that's just how the game design has changed.

Ooh, thought. Maybe if the party has to deal with devils, an NPC will recommend a hellish lawyer and give you her card. If/when the PCs actually summon the lawyer, she turns out to be a semanticore.

It would probably be a lawyer. Constantly getting into arguments about the meaning of a sentence.

The players can. As long as one of the spells is not cast with a spell slot, anyone can do what the OP described.

As @Sorcerers Apprentice said, the rule in 5.24 is that you can only cast one spell with a spell slot each turn. Even PCs can cast a bonus action spiritual weapon and then a fireball if they can cast one or both of them without using spell slots.

That really only applies to Wizards. The other arcane casters don't use a spellbook.

I'm torn three ways on 2nd favorite: 5e, 2e, and RC. 5e is the edition I've played the longest at this point and it's extremely flexible in terms of homebrew. 2e has some of my favorite settings like Spelljammer and Dark Sun RC for having the cajones to go all the way to level 36.

The errata to the 2014 book didn't. Since taking 70 damage would still leave you with 0 (there's no negative HP in 5E) it would disintegrate you. It's a dumb quirk of 'natural language' that it doesn't with the original and 2024 PHB wording.

As someone who really cut their DMing teeth with 4E, mid level would be paragon tier, 11 to 20. Though I suppose in 5E it would be something more like 8 to 12.

That's the point. There's no obvious plain reading of the text! That's why errata exist.

They literally added errata to clarify the situation. I mean you're certainly entitled to house rule it that way but that's not RAI, at least for 2014 rules as they stand.

Oh it absolutely is. It's very unlikely to even come up. Though the other reasons for the errata still apply.

Honestly other than 4E it's generally pretty easy to convert adventures between editions. In 4E it can be trickier because there areso many variations of every monster type and 5E likely doesn't have obvious equivalents.

How so?

So the Disintegrate spell as listed in the 5.1 SRD has a bit of an issue: a target is disintegrated if an effect reduces it to 0 hit points. However, some race and class features allow a character reduced to 0 hit points to instead be reduced to 1 HP or more instead, and there's ambiguity into...

Thing about that is probability indicates that any monster with less than a +9 save is is more likely to fail if they role 5 or 6 DC 10 Con saves than a single con save with a maximum possible DC of 15.

Part of the problem is that the US MPAA has gotten ludicrously sensitive about gore and profanity. Stuff that would have been G in the 90s gets PG now. Back to the Future would be PG 13 today. It's shifted the overton window of cussing IMO.

I was so distracted by that awful redesign of the creature that I didn't even notice.:LOL:

In 4e the revised Essentials version was great as a minion popper. A missed attack never damages a minion but magic missile always does.
