The air current pull the smoke along the ceiling all the way back to the chamber that you just came from (the one that still has a gray ooze in it) and then disappears through the cracks in the ceiling.

Now that you've used it, the bottle is an eversmoking bottle. I'm not sure if it is a typo or if this is how it was really intended to work, but I think we'll skip the bit about the "command word" to stop it. It's just an action to put the stopper back in which is chained to the bottle so you...

Smoke billows from the bottle in a thick cloud white cloud. The crowd grows larger and the smoke travels upward toward the ceiling. Surana is completely enveloped. She can't see anything and is choking a bit. The smoke is whitish and smells of sulfur. The light spell is likewise enveloped...

I don't think Crawford was in agreement with the DM in this scenario. He talked about swords hitting surrounding obstacles and other clues giving away locations in an active fight. If the invisible, silent creature was not fighting, then yes. But once it is swinging it's sword around and...

So here is a question for the community: If a character is lightly obscured and has an ability that allows him or her to hide in light obscurement (say, the Skulker feat) do you apply disadvantage to the opposed perception checks? I don't. I figure that a character meeting the minimum...

Personally, I tend to have everyone in dim lighting see things immediately adjacent to them as bright light. Pretty much any light obscuration works like that at my table. If you are in foliage or fog or misty rain or moon light or whatever, people right next to you are not obscured at all.

All right. If you are all in agreement you move back to the room with the leaking water and the pool. It is getting deeper. At this point the water is starting to pool up a few inches all the way to the arch-way that lead into the four passages with the pits.

Yeah, I like the 4e rules and maybe they inform my application of the 5e rules. But even they leave a lot of room or the DM in non-combat situations and leave it up to the DM to decide if a target is properly distracted. In combat they probably rely a bit too much on 4e's gridded combat rules...

My understanding is the etymology of the word barbarian is from the greek word for babbling...

Is there a way of looking at these rules? What I'm getting at is for the naysayers (which you are not one) to provide us with what they believe to be well written rules. Sounds like Black Seven is specifically centered on stealth. Like Mistwell mentioned and JC was getting at, the choice is a...

I've asked this in the past of the people who say the 5e stealth rules are so terrible to provide an example of what they think good stealth rules look like. I've never had a problem adjudicating stealth at my table and I run it pretty much the way JC described in the podcast. My players get...

Only if you are attacking it or want to go into the room to give it a more thorough investigation.

You can back out. It's waiting in ambush (and strict RAW you can't notice it but we've had all the fun we're going to have with that. I figure you've developed some sense of them and are alert to their tricks by now...later on their camouflage ability will be in play again if you encounter...

I think he was talking about noticing threats, not searching for a specific book (which at my table would be an investigation check anyway). In that context, it makes sense. When a hiding character' stealth check fails to surpass an observer's passive perception, the observer notices the...

Nothing obvious. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EN World mobile app

Like I said in my reply to SunGold, in keeping with the Alice in Wonderland theme I'll allow some partial quaffing of potions. The results might be a bit unpredictable, though. Definitely isn't enough there for your whole troop though... maybe you could split it among 3 or 4 of you. Sent...

Hehe. Just trying to give you all the information and trying to narrate some of that through Orsik. Right now he's my Virgil to your Dante.. The smoke bottle does not appear to be a potion...at least not like any you've seen. It's larger. You would guess that if you opened it a large amount...

Orsik: "When I was captured I was forced to drink some such magic. It twisted me inside out, shrank me down, spread me out. I felt like I had become like a smoke. They gave it to several of us. It only lasted a moment but when I felt normal again I was in a different passage, like we went...

All right...game back on. So sorry for the long delay. FWIW, my son is ready to murder me since our table game has experienced the same delay. So a refresher of where we are. Please talk among yourselves about what you want to do and restate your actions.... You are in some sort of ancient...

All right, I think I'm back now. Reading up to refresh my memory of where we left off.
