The descriptions for the items do not state that they need to be used as a focus for the spell, only that they must be held.

I think I see what you mean, but for bonus actions that are only allowed when the ability says so the complexity is an aspect of that ability, not of the concept of bonus actions. Hypothetically they could have just not made bonus action abilities with complex conditions.

I don't understand the view that bonus actions are complicated. You have one action per turn. You have one bonus action per turn. Abilities are clearly labeled which one they use. If you cast two spells, the main one has to be a cantrip. How complex is that? Am I missing something?

Let's assume you are correct that you can use duel wielding to make an unarmed attack even if you are not a monk. The monk's martial arts ability is still worth being called out because, unlike the off hand unarmed strike you refer to, the monk's bonus action strike can apply it's ability...

Except that's not part of the Attack action. Flurry of Blows states that your extra unarmed strikes happen "Immediately after you take the Attack action". Still, you probably only losing a couple points of damage anyway.

Indeed, and just because a person is trustworthy in general, does not mean they are trustworthy in every situation under the sun. I said every "decision" is dubious. The response of yours that I said was healthy was to not make a decision at all (by letting the DM do it for you). Nope, see...

I don't think we do; there's a difference between "trustworthy" and "capable of doing no wrong". If I don't trust someone in that situation, it's not necessarily because I don't trust them in general, it's because poisoning the well makes ANY decision they make dubious. Them getting the...

Pretty sure the spell does protect you from the trigger, the description states "The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you".

RAW there is no reason you could not, but it would only give you resistance to the fire half. (Assuming you had a reaction and a spell slot left, that is)

Do keep in mind, as I stated, I was providing that I claimed to be something along the lines of what he meant, not claiming to be clarifying what he said. Unless I'm not understanding you correctly, in which case please clarify, but it definitely looks as though you are splitting hairs...

No offense, but I feel like you've made a lot of posts like this that put words in peoples' mouths. Assuming he allows you to retcon your targets based on your rolls is a crazy conclusion to jump to from his post. I don't mean to speak for him, but my interpretation of his meaning is that it is...

I'm not sure what you mean here, given that the phrase is being tossed around on a forum, not as part of Charlaquin's game. Furthermore, trust goes both ways; some DMs might see players hijacking a process the DM is suppose to adjudicate as disrespectful, even if the player means nothing by it...

Robe of the Archmagi

This I agree with 110%, but it's not probably breaking the rules. If the DM says "Oh, he just happened to have cast See Invis the turn before you came across him," you know that would have been the case even if you had encountered him a turn earlier, but you can't disprove it. It's the sign of...

Has the DM actually broken RAW? Where? He's certainly been exploiting his position as DM, but anything impossible has been claimed to be either a mistake or a transcription error as far as I'm aware? Also,@Hygor_Haas just making sure you saw my post regarding the Villain's AC.

Would an Open Hand Monk have any abilities that lend well to finding him before he can get the drop on you? Furthermore, Con is a good save for him, so even if you hit his AC 29, your odds of stunning him are only about 50/50 per hit. Also, don't forget all his undead and simulacrum hitting you...

I would consider swapping out 3 of your Cleric and Wizard levels for Sorcerer so you can use Subtle Spell. Also, since the Villain used Enemies Abound earlier, that must mean XGtE is fair game, so I'd have your grappler go 20 levels in Barb for the higher Str and get expertise from the Prodigy...

I believe you have his AC set too high. 15 (Robe of the Archmagi) + 3 (+1 Shield) + 2 (Staff of Power) + 4 (Dex) + 5 (Shield spell) = 29 Also, how big an area are the mountains?

You still haven't given character creation rules for us to build this team. Do they have to be level 1's? Can we have characters which are level 20 in all classes? What do you want us to do? Furthermore, what are the rules for this challenge? Is he just standing in the middle of an unending...
