    But if you are the DM you can do what ever you want; you can award the "encounter difficulty" Exp if you wish; I don't but I do award Story and extra's

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleaving Through Creatures using Range Attacks - Legolas

    So an Arrow shot from a Assassin with surprise hits the neck of a goblin/kobold can not hit another creature that is behind it, I guess you need to look up the power of long bows and crossbows and other Ranged Weapons So maybe the arrow would take out the first creature it hit and then do some...

    I am going to try that next game, Cool But I was thinking more of a Dragon terrorizing a country side and the group of PC's takes out a Ballista or 5 pounder and places it in duck blind setup with cows for bait, Cleric places silence on the bolt/cannonball and the wizard places Greater...

    D&D 5E (2014) So here is a question with Cleave thru using a Vorpal Weapon?

    I agree with Paraxis (18+ Level Characters) and also with killing the first 8 if they qualify for Cleave Thru for lower level characters; Smart Warriors will cut them selves for 1 point of damage then go into battle to prevent the Cleave Remember that you need a Natural 20 I believe the Cleave...

    D&D 5E (2014) I thought that I had seen a Range limit to the sneak attack with the Ranged Weapon, 30 feet

    I'm sorry, you can not do that, it's not RAW, don't use common sense in 5.0 or the Hasbro Lego Police will come and arrest you :) I would never use the Mangonel/Trebuchet Catapult, it is an indirect Weapon and is for area affect damage not for the use by an Assassin the closest thing I have to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleaving Through Creatures using Range Attacks - Legolas

    Cleaving Through Creatures using Range Attacks - Legolas If your player characters regularly fight hordes of lower level monsters, consider using the optional rule to help speed up such fights.

    D&D 5E (2014) I thought that I had seen a Range limit to the sneak attack with the Ranged Weapon, 30 feet

    The Feat Sharpshooter - Attacking at long Range doesn't impose disadvantage at long Range True Strike - would not work, that is where I seen that 30 feet, Target Range of the Spell is 30 feet Help - When you take the Help Action, the creature you aid gains advantage on the next ability check...

    I think Smaug seen Bard on the tower and was flying toward the tower, no sneak attack by that Barge man, Bard might have been a Rogue or even a Ranger or just a plain town folk, but Bard did have a Critical hit and hit a spot that gave advantage on Damage and the bolt might have been a magical...
