If you have a bard or a cleric in the party, Zone of Truth is a possible tool in aiding you and your party to finding out if the ooze has hidden motives. I would be forward about the spell because it can voluntarily let the spell work, which is a sign of good faith on the ooze's part.

I would say yes. Wild shape says speech is limited to the beast's ability to do so. So normally you could not talk. In the case of Ghostwise Halflings their speech isn't limited by their body, so I don't see a conflict since you keep racial abilities unless the beast form would prohibit it.

By the exact wording it does not, but considering they ignore the wording of Goodberry and the Life Domain and let them work together, it would make sense that it worked on a spell that actually raises a target's hit points when it is used, compared to Goodberry that does not raise a target's...

The paladin unarmored ability is pretty amusing for a druid paladin multiclass. Overall I like the flavor and ability of all three sub classes.

I don't have the book in question, but the staff description says that when you break it, it happens. If it is broken already and they take it out of the anti magic field, it's no longer a staff of the magi. It's a broken staff that used to be a staff of the magi. It's no longer a magic item to...

Would you allow a druid to awaken a monkey or other primate and let it do these things? If so then I would say it's fine for the ranger to do so once people feel the monkey is intelligent enough to be trusted by the party. ( This could be roleplayed or assumed over time as the monkey exhibits...

I prefer battlemaster over champion also, but not just for damage or control of when you can apply the damage vs hoping for a random crit, but because of the effects of battlemaster dice. Sometimes a well place push or trip can swing an entire fight, things like that make all the difference to me.

Another factor that makes most people overlook 2 weapon fighting is that the Great Weapon Master feat is extremely strong. If the party does anything to improve the paladin's chance to hit ( Bless being the main contributor, but Faerie Fire is another good one if the enemies fail their saves )...

Sorry, I've been away all day so I couldn't reply earlier. My favorites are Shield and Invisibility. Other good spells include the two you mentioned ( See Invis and Darkvision ). The strength of Arcane Trickster isn't in the extra firepower the spells provide, but the utility. Levitate works...

I prefer Arcane Trickster. Surprise rounds aren't as easy to obtain as it seems unless your DM is very generous about it. Usually between other party members, and light sources, I find that enemies are usually aware of something amiss, and therefore not surprised. It may be worth it to go to...

I voted I play 5th and don't care if there is a warlord class. It's not because of any dislike, but because I think it would play too much like a cross between valor bard and battlemaster. Between those two classes and support feats I think you could already emulate a warlord very well. The rest...

It's the same thing. Shoving a creature is shoving a creature. The difference is that you use have the option to use a bonus action as part of the attack action, instead of one of the attacks ( perhaps the only attack ) granted by the attack action. Nothing suggests that it is no longer a...

They do define Shoving a Creature. The feat makes an exception to the normal rule of using the attack action to do so. There is nothing that says it is no longer a special melee attack. The feat does say that you use a bonus action to do it instead of the attack action. Edit: Hooray, the...

I could see varying arguments for both sides of this but the rules say that shoving is a special melee attack so I would say yes, it counts.

Personally I don't think that something you could do for up to 8 and/or 24 hours straight qualifies as strenuous, so I wouldn't say concentration prohibits a short rest. As far as I can tell you could hike for 12 hours in D&D while maintaining concentration on a spell with no extra checks forced...

They way it is written it looks like to me that you spend the ki when you do the damage. It says how much ki you spend, not how much you spent. Past vs present. It also specifies to spend it after the save is made. ( I'm going by the quote above, I may have missed something else. ) Edit: The...

I'm not sure why people maintain that following the rules should not be tolerated. It's perfectly fine ruleswise. As others have said, there could be time restraints or I guess someone might have a problem with them killing a rat for some reason, but I don't think DMs should make up rules or...

Ghost 2 Lich 8 ( +1 ) Mummy 3 Wight 0 (-2 ) Sorry, text color isn't working for me still.

Ghost 7 Lich 13 Mummy 5 Wight 4 Wraith 0 ( Buh Bye )

There's no reason to bag of rats Hex. Like Kalil said, it's a bonus action to cast it. As for moving the hex, there is no reason why you can't move it a turn later, or 5 rounds later, or 59 minutes later, as long as concentration was maintained ( and of course the requirement is met of the last...
