    D&D 5E (2024) Advice with building a 2024 Paladin?

    I'd go with Oath of Vengeance Polearm Master to be even more redoutable.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    The Free Item Interaction let you interact with one object or feature of the environment for free, during either your move or action. And Weapons are objects. So you can interact with one weapon for free during a move or action. This general rule is in addition to specific rules such as the...

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    It isn't specified by the feat so your guess is as good as mine :) I could easily picture a Crossbow Expert putting the crossbow between it's legs or under an arm, reload with the hand before picking it up again.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    As UngeheuerLich say, a non Crossbow Expert can still attack 2+ on a turn with a Loading weapon, for exemple attacking with a Hand Crossbow, and then attacking again with another Action such as Action Surge. Likewise, a non Crossbow Expert can attack with a Hand Crossbow, unequip it, use a Free...

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Yes, but only if you make a ranged attack. For melee attack, the Attack Action can also let you equip it before the attack as well. If the extra attack of the Light property is a Dagger melee attack as a Bonus Action, then the Free Item Interaction would be needed to draw it before attacking...

    The Crossbow Expert feat specifically let you load a piece of ammunition into it even if you lack a free hand.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    Of course wielding a Hand Crossbow and a Dagger means you can't draw an ammunition and fire it as you need a free hand to load it first unless you have the Crossbow Expert feat, which isn't the OP case, meaning it must draw the Dagger after attacking with the Hand Crossbow.

    D&D 5E (2024) How do you rule using a Hand Crossbow with a nick weapon

    When a creature takes the Attack Action and attack with a Hand Crossbow, it can now make the extra attack of the Light property with a different Light weapon, as a Bonus Action, or as part of the Attack Action instead if it has Nick Weapon Mastery.

    D&D 5E (2024) Snarf's Complete Two Weapon Fighting and Grappling Guide

    The extra attack of the Light property and the extra attack of Dual Wielder feat are different. While both uses the same ressource to make them, they can mutually be used when Nick mastery shift the extra attack of the Light property as part of the Attack action instead of a Bonus Action.

    D&D 5E (2024) Snarf's Complete Two Weapon Fighting and Grappling Guide

    I don't see any way to read as ever making more than one extra attack of the Light property, with or without Nick mastery, it's the same done as part of the Attack action instead of a Bonus Action, and is limited to once per turn wether it does or not. I also think it's possible to equip and...

    D&D General What's beyond the Gate?

    The Gate leads to a Demiplane of Monstrosities, where all Monster Summoning originate from and return to. All kind of inanimated creatures lie in dormant-state, waiting for the moment they will be summoned by a spell, power or magic items to magically be transported to the summoner's location...

    D&D 5E (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    Coupled with the fact that Human can't take General Feat at level 1 pushed any feat combo using Sentinel to level 8 at minimum rather than 4, clearly they wanted to nerf that. But that's something DM can easily handwave if they want anyway.

    D&D 5E (2024) Two Weapon Fighting and Nick article

    Another thing not mentioned in the article is the Thrown property; you can draw a Thrown weapon as part of a ranged attack, wether using the Atttack Action or a Bonus Action, meaning you can throw daggers while holding a shield for example, and benefit from the Light property and the Dual...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running several combats in a row

    Just be mindful of the Challenge Rating and overall difficulty later waves will have because the party will be diminished, running lower on HP, spell slots, features etc that they normally have when 100%. If you see things are getting too ugly, don't hesitate to have enemies opt for different...

    D&D 5E (2024) Line of sight ruling

    I believe this Sage Advice refers to core rules, because Line of Sight is defined in optional rules for Miniatures in the Dungeon Master Guide, which i use to determine line of sight. I basically rule you don't have line of sight through Heavily Obscured areas or when one can't see as a result...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aerial combat in 5e

    I also use this, because in 5E there's no diagonal extra cost for movement or range calculation, spaces 8 square/cube apart are 40 feet away, this in any direction, similar to 2D grid play basically.

    D&D 5E (2014) Aerial combat in 5e

    When i run aerial encounter, i use 3D metrics in a 2D field. Basically, i convert 5 feet squares into 5 feet cubes and calculate reach, range and area of effects accordingly. For top view i use 2D map with marker on miniatures for their respective elevation from the ground and use graph paper to...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    There's a Goblinoid campaign i'd like to run where the PC are goblins, hobgoblins or bugbear starting in Cragmaw Hideout getting attacked by humans from Phandalin and other monsters, eventually moving to Cragmaw Castle and beyond, as they explore the region etc.. similar to Reverse Dungeon, so a...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    I would love to play in a Menzoberranzan Drow campaign. I never have, but always dreamed of it ever since i got Drow of the Underdark AD&D 2nd Edition handbook.
