Disadvantage to what?

I would think that would be partially about the execution and partially about the guards personality. He wouldn't naturally doubt the King in front of him is real, but he may suspect that he is being tricked if the King being there wouldn't be reasonable. He may inspect (cue investigation check)...

This. 110%. I mean, older editions weren't just bad, they were infamous. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrapplingWithGrapplingRules

That all sounds correct to me, but in regards to question 2: keep in mind that the creature can only dash or disengage if it has a feature that allows it to do so as a bonus action, because the creature already used its action to free itself from the grapple.

Fair enough. Seems like Phantasmal Force may just be more trouble than it is worth. (Imma still probably take it next wizard I play though.)

Your system seems to contradict the spell description in a few places for the sake of avoiding metagaming when the spell is used against the players. I think the simpler solution is to not inform the players that they are under the effect of an illusion, as they probably won't waste their...

Oh hey, I didn't realize this earlier. Can you not revive a disintegrated person with Reincarnate?

Ah. Sorta figured, but thanks for the confirmation. Also, your Fiend Pact Warlock comment is great.

I know they are probably trying to distance themselves from 3.Xe, but a WotC made prestige class that isn't terrible and boring would be nice. I would like to see the Mystic, but at the same time I'm worried about how hard the existing components are gonna get nerfed. I love what they have so...

So it's sounding to me like the target only makes an Investigation check if it would be checking out the phenomenon for a reason other than determining whether or not it is real (because the target has no doubt it is real, because any cause for doubt would be rationalized away). For instance, if...

This wouldn't paralyze the target though, because the target would struggle against the force, and the target would succeed because there is nothing physically stopping them from moving since the full body force is an illusion. The only result of this would be the target feel a force trying to...

If your DM lets you, you could take a 3 level dip into Oathbreaker Paladin to get Channel Divinity: Control Undead.

This is a great discovery.

This is about guards restraining your caster PCs, right? But how helpless do you want them to actually be though? I mean, if you just keep them completely immobilized with zero options then your players might not have a good time. If you're looking for an in-universe explanation for why the city...

Wow, is that so? That's really odd that Eldritch Knights and Arcane Tricksters are more potent casters than Artificers.

This might only be tangentially relevant, but aren't half-casters 1-5 rather than 0-5? Personally I actually like third casters better because they tend to get okay cantrips and half-casters tend to have less utility than I'd like in their high level spell options.

One thing to consider: The Barbarian's Unarmored Defense allows you to wear a shield, while the Monk's one does not.

I would consider new spells to be more valuable than +1 to hit and damage, so it would almost certainly be worth paying out twice. On the other hand, if I was the wizard and the fighter tried telling me that the spellbook counts against my tally, I'd probably hand him the book and take the +1...

Take note that this character CAN be surprised while asleep, the feat says "while conscious". That's kinda different though. The player still benefits from Crossbow Expert and +2 Dex in the situations you described. You still don't have disadvantage on ranged attack rolls while engaged and its...

I'm pretty sure Arcane Ward is not considered damage to you and as such it does not benefit from resistances. I think this was stated in sage advice or something somewhere, but I don't have it off the top of my head. Sorry. (edit: Yup, just checked...
