This website might be helpful in helping you figure it out. It's a great resource, and this page specifically has a lot of interesting information about monsters and how they are made in D&D 5e. https://theangrygm.com/monster-building-201-the-dd-monster-dissection-lab/

This thread is very disappointing. I was expecting baked goods.

Good question, OP. I'd need to do more research on the "Hidden" vs "Unseen" question, however I can tell you what I as a DM would probably do for the second! For someone trying to hide in a crowd, depending on how they were doing it, I would probably call for a Deception or Performance check...

I would probably say that the ring would not protect against "Glyph of Warding" or "Symbol" because the wording specifically says "magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts..." Because those two spells do not include any detection by creatures I would rule that the ring is...

Understood. I would say outside of combat it's really no-one's "turn" unless when crossing a bridge you make the players roll initiative. But I get your point of "don't get reroll in combat, so no reroll outside of combat." I'd still allow it outside of combat for situations like I described...

Well, your table, your rules! At my table it would make sense if a Fighter could "push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment" to get a second grab at a ledge, etc. It's only once per day (until level 17). But if you don't think that makes sense, then don't use it! :)

One example I was thinking of is if a Fighter failed a Dex save while climbing or crossing a dangerous rock-bridge, etc, and started falling. They could use their Action Surge to try to grab onto the ledge again (basically re-roll the Save).

Good point, and I would probably agree with your ruling. Another question that arises from this is can I drop a lit keg of powder out of the space? It's not technically an attack, I'm just dropping it.

I agree with your post and enjoy your thinking, except for the part where you say "8 year old can climb it easy, so adventurers should be able to, as well.". (At least that's what it seems like you are saying) As if kids aren't ALREADY way better at climbing than your average adult.

Is the extra-dimensional space already filled with breathable air? If so, could you use it to escape a room filled with poisonous gas? If it's empty at the beginning and fills with air from the room, then the poisonous air would get sucked in to the extra-dimensional space (as it would be a...

But seriously, what if you cast Rope Trick underwater (with the opening to the extra-dimensional space being underwater as well)? Save air pocket or space full of water? What happens when the water is expelled if it fills the space at the end of the hour? Can it be used to cut off people's...

I question the "it's a safe space to have a Short Rest for another reason: it's not actually a safe space. There's nothing saying enemy creatures cannot enter the space, only that it's invisible. That might work on less intelligent enemies, but you don't think a Lich or a Dragon isn't going to...

I dunno about 3e, but 5e I think maybe... 10?

Rope trick has great utility beyond the handwaved Short Rest variety. Need to sneak about a museum after hours? Cast Rope Trick right before closing and you can pop out once the initial guard search is over! Your mistress's husband comes home early? Rope Trick! Invite a special "guy...

Ever seen a Thresher Maw take out a Reaper before? Something like that would be useful I think. You could even attract it with Artifact Drums. (Mass Effect references if you don't know.)

Sure, wrong terminology. Having a rope trick extra-dimensional space cast does not create a zone of non-short rest. It denies a short rest within the extra-dimensional space by the nature of the spell. Doesn't allow? Sure, doesn't allow. The time able to be spent in the extra-dimensional...

I mean... what? You're arguing that the spell is designed for a Short Rest. I'm saying that by the very nature of its design it denies a short rest if you are reading the rules as written. You can houserule whatever you want, but since it takes some amount of time to get into the space...

Oh, I'm not sure of the intent. I would certainly House-rule that the extra-dimensional space created by the spell allows for 1 short rest due to time dilation or something similar. The timing is close enough that it would appear the intent was there, and I don't think it would ever be...

You are ignoring the "up to" as well, though. "Up to" includes 60 feet. According to the PHB, while climbing (or swimming) each foot traveled costs two feet of movement. That means that, within the spells description, if the rope is 60 ft long, which it can be, then it would take a creature...

I'm a little torn on the "Short Rest" part of the argument. To answer the OP specifically, no Rope Trick does not heal. Healing can take place (potentially) after using Rope Trick, but the spell does not in and of itself heal, so...I guess that answers that. As for the Rules as Written, I...
