Traps for sure. The one thing the party has going for them is that the tunnel that leads to the room they are hiding in has a pretty significant bottleneck at the entrance to the room. Frontal assault is not really an option. the party would cut them down one by one. They are definitely not...

I'm just curious what kind of things other DM's do when a party blocks themselves off in a dungeon for a long rest when the entire complex is alerted to their presence. In my situation, the party is in a very small cramped kobold mine. They made a dramatic retreat from a big fight and are about...

If it makes you guys feel any better. As the OP of this question, I am going with the interpretation that a reaction spell that is cast on/during/part of/in addition to/in conjunction with/simultaneously/along side the Iraq and such as COUNTS and cannot be cast per the rule that it is not...

There must be SOME ambiguity, because I can't tell what side you're arguing for. I might rule based on weather or not a reaction counts as "part of your turn" even if takes place on your turn. I'd probably side with Ovinoamancer. So the reaction spell can be cast regardless of weather or not it...

That's what I was looking at. I think it's all cleared up now. You can counterspell the counterspell as a reaction, even if you have cast a spell as an action, or even two with Action surge. But you cannot cast a reaction spell on your turn if you have already cast a bonus action spell. And I...

From what I read this isn't true. Most reaction spells don't occur on your turn and ones that do, counterspelling counterspell, for example, are not effected by that limitation. At least that's what I read in this errata.... http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/SA_Compendium_1.0.pdf...

My understanding is that if you cast a spell as a bonus action you cannot cast another spell unless it is a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action. This limitation ONLY applies when you cast a spell as a bonus action. So for example, if you are a caster with fighter levels you CAN cast two...

I'm sure this question has been beat to death, but I can't find an answer to MY specific question: Can Monks use their DEX Bonus to attack AND damage when "throwing" a spear?

One of my players (Halfling Bard 3/Rogue 1) found an axe beak egg and hatched it. My setting is a low magic/low treasure world, so I put the axe beak egg there as "treasure" with the intent of the party doing something with it. I ruled that eventuly it hatched and it's about 2 weeks old. I...

I hope so. I had a blast. no hard feelings from what I can tell.

Well you guys were all pretty helpful. I had the session last night and it ended up pretty epic. Before I tell you what happened I need to offer a few more details that I didn't in the original post. The barbarian's weapon was a greatclub that was literally a bone. (very low-tech world) From...

Let's say I made this into a 4th edition style skill challenge. The goal being for the Halfling to avoid getting caught. (8 successes before 3 failures) I wonder what ways the various skills could be used be the players and for what purpose? Acrobatics: ???? Animal Handling: ???? Arcana...

I agree with you Derren, And I have since come to the conclusion that there isn't really going to be a major investigation and trial. They are just going to decide. I can't envision scenario where the halfling gets out of this. The player even admitted it was a pretty impulsive decision and...

We have actually only started this campaign. They just arrived back from a dungeon and were likely to soon move on to another. Oh. There are plenty of dungeons. One of the players just decided to go murdering. He had a motive, and pretty flimsy one, but it was there.

I'm looking for advice on a fun and fair way to run a murder investigation and possible trial. One of my PC's (Halfling barbarian) murdered a beloved major NPC in his sleep. He is also attempting to frame one of his NPC rivals by planting the murder weapon near his home. Here are some details...

I'm kind of annoyed yes. Mine was not the character who should have died.

Sooooo...... I played the Tranquility Monk last night. I had just turned level 3 and my little happy-go-lucky peacenik dwarven monk had already been spec'ed out for The Way of the Open Hand. ....until I found the Unearthed Arcana article yesterday morning. It was perfect. They way I had been...

I actually haven't looked through Volo's yet. That is a good suggestion. I'm really surprised they haven't included more of these. Like I said a codex of NPC's that has a sample of every class at every level would be an excellent product/supplement.

I am actually referring to the NPC's that the party are most definitely going to fight. Maybe "NPC" isn't the right word, that's why I also refer to them as "monsters." I'm trying to convert a very urban heavy campaign from Pathfinder and a lot of my high level baddies are standard races and...

I really like the Tranquility Monk too. Am I in the minority? But is it just me? The tranquility monk is not the far off from The Way of the Open Hand? They both get a healing feature. They both get Sanctuary. Just at different levels. Lots of folks are asking for the tranquility monk to have...
