Expertise dice can stack, is that is what you're confused about. Getting multiple sources of expertise gives you a bigger die size. You can never roll more than one expertise die on the same roll. If another class feature or situation grants an expertise die of any size that applies to the same...

Not necessarily. You can treat results of a passive differently than what you rolled because it's something that happens while the PC is doing others things. With the pit trap example. "You're walking along the dark corridor and notice some broken floor tiles leading into an area of debris...

I am aware and that's the reason I mention it's not in the books themselves. Crawford can play his game how he wants but with things like observant existing that up the passive score, there's no connect between it and what the dice could give you. Additionally, rogue's reliable Talent is no...

Afaik that interpretation is not in the rules anywhere. People are perfectly able to run things that way if they want but doing so always seemed step on the toes of abilities that have a "minimum roll". Eg: human trait resident expert or Reliable Talent in O5E. I prefer passive skills to give...

No, they're separate abilities. They just use the same resource.

Curious where the inspiration for the zone combat came from. Was that something in a previous d&d edition? I know Sky Flourish had a page about it in the lazy dms companion as well.

Hmm I guess I'm confused about what you're responding to. Is it op's suggestion or the rules as they're written? It sounds like you're worried about the ability to get exertion back at all between rests, rather than the suggestion in the post?

You can already spend hd to get more exertion. What the op is proposing Isa way to do so in combat with the risk that if you don't use the exertion, it goes away. "Alternatively, you can meditate, refocus, and stretch to refill your exertion pool more quickly. You expend Hit Dice to do so...

I like this idea. Would you have it cost a bonus action or anything similar to activate? I'd probably allow a PC to gain TEP if they had one left as well to avoid a situation where they just can't spend their last one if they had only 2 exertion maneuvers or something.

TBF I did say that there's a lot of "ifs" to get to the condition where it screws an NPC, not that its a question of "if" the scenario will ever happen. Just to hit a couple points on your scenarios of how I see this: Players using it against NPCs - 1. Rendering an NPC useless by taking their...

I'll try to answer in a more complete way later (on my phone, don't have time to formulate thoughts completely) but impression of your concern is very much that while there may be some specific interaction that really screws a single npc in a combat once in a while, that scenario is really...

I'm fairly sure that everytime an object requires an action to use it's specified in the rules. (IE the specific for those is that it's an action). Unless it's specified, the general rule is that it's one of the things you can do on your turn: "Within a single round, you can take an action, a...

Why is it not simply you "interact with an object" part of your turn? (Pg422) Most physical interactions with the environment simply require a player to announce their intentions to the Narrator. A statement like, “I open the ward- robe,” is normally all that is necessary to set an action into...

It's the "only every extra attack after that" is where I'm not sure how to read. Is it every attack in the chain after the first "regular attack" crit? Or is it every attack after that during the turn? The former seems very strong and quite silly. The latter steems strong but at least...

I'm curious how you interpreted the "If this subsequent attack is also a critical hit, this feature can be activated again for a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus." part of Relentless attack. It's not exactly clear to me when the "maximum" kicks in but at level 5 I'd think...

I think the reference to stance was about what it might have been in the play test based on the wording, not what it is now.

Am I missing something or are there only feats in the AG at the moment? Zeitgeist has feats but I believe that doc is meant to be o5e as much as a5e. I guess that's "everything is compatible" but the subclasses there reference some o5e things that were removed from a5e so the line where...

It will be a5e.tools when all the information is added there.

I haven't read it myself but there might be some inspiration available in the beast heart from mcdm (assuming this is not going to be a for sale thing). I believe they designed the class from the ground up to support pets.

Three-quarter-lings?
