They are wonderful looking as always. But sadly the scale of the grid is not always 5' per square on the dungeon/encounter maps and that is very annoying to me.

You subtract 10 from the initiative roll, this can be a negative number just like if a low dexterity creature rolls a low number.

Players choice, but I strongly encourage them to take the average. I just have a couple players that love to roll, I don't do a minimum on the roll or allow re-rolls though, we game using roll20 so it is right there in front of all the players and is recorded in the chat log. After one...

It's fine by me, great minds think alike. Yours might be more friendly worded than mine is anyway, a couple people mentioned they don't like my wording of "DM forces".

It is a full turn. On a turn you can move and take an action, if something gives you a bonus action you may take a bonus action. The ambuscade ability limits what Action you can take on the special turn it gives you to Attack or Hide, but you can still move and if something gives you a bonus...

Correct the Action on the special Ambuscade turn can't be Cast a Spell, but you can cast a spell as a bonus action on it, move, and attack. If multiclassed with fighter they could use action surge to gain another action, and with that action use the Cast a Spell action.

From this page about the next Extra Life Team stream there are some spoilers. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/dnd_extralife2015 New Cantrip: Greenflame Blade New Background: Urban Bounty Hunter New Roguish Archetype: Mastermind Duergar race entry, including subrace traits.

It can be insanely powerful. Just to confirm yes you can move and take bonus actions. https://twitter.com/mikemearls/status/641685715290484736

Just curious how different groups handle hit point gain on level up. I go by the book and put the choice in the hands of the player, they can roll the die and take the result (no minimum or re-rolls, DM challenge rolls, or any of that nonsense) or they can take the average rounded up. You in...

Where are people getting you can't move, gain a bonus action, or use your reaction with Ambuscade? When you roll initiative, you gain a special turn that takes place before other creatures can act. On this turn, you can use your action to take either the Attack or Hide action. "Move" isn't an...

The latest Unearthed Arcana article, by Mike Mearls, offers us a new look at the ranger, based on concerns that "feedback on fifth edition D&D has shown that the ranger lags behind the other classes in terms of power and player satisfaction." This variant focuses on the Ranger's roles as...

Just noticed they gave them two good saves Dexterity & Wisdom. That breaks an unwritten rule of 5e class design, even monks and phb rangers don't have that they get Strength & Dexterity.

Something involving the Queen of Chaos, possibly a rod of seven parts adventure?

Surprise can not possibly happen after the initial round of combat. There is no way to surprise someone mid fight. You go through the steps in order and step 5 is just to repeat step 4 until the fighting stops. Since you never go back to step 1 there is no way to "surprise" someone in the...

All the stuff you commented on is what the past 55 or so pages have been about, "When does surprise end?" because the assassinate ability needs to know this, but it is never directly stated in the rules as surprise ends when X happens. I have stated my opinion on the matter of when surprise...

If the monk is snoozing he would be unconscious and not able to take reactions. Incapacitated is the condition that prevents you from taking actions or reactions. The paralyzed, petrified, stunned and unconscious conditions all also make you incapacitated. So as long as the monk meets all...

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this, because we both seem to be reading the same rules and somehow you are getting a completely different understanding. Every reaction that needs a visual component states it in the description, every single one. A few don't have that component...

You are sort of right, some reactions work that way like the ready action says. First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your reaction. So in order to take a readied action the trigger has to be perceivable. That doesn't apply to all reactions. Also unless the invisible...

This is correct. This is not. This is also incorrect, because casting shield has no such requirements. The requirement for using your reaction to casting shield is being hit or targeted by magic missile spell. Any attack that hits, any time you are targeted by a magic missile spell...
