I often wonder about all these monsters learning things in 3 round fights. How often have they fought people able to do these extraordinary things?

This could probably leverage the Level Up rules in general for instance its companion rules (which has a bodyguard) and maneuver system you can get as the foundation allowing your battle squire to perform attack blocks without being killed. Can it occur off turn?

LOL 3 attacks did the dm provide a cliff to kill the enemy with handy... so when it is convenient to your narrative damage is not part of the measure of an attack (but its vital to the measurement when it is convenient) , sigh you are silly. I could seriously tell you played 1e ... the...

Except I enumerated the real effect as probably 2 attacks worth over that full battle. And I was saying those other spells have much more impact and dealing with those is maybe more important you just showed how you would do so for one type, but if you have monsters all just know his allies can...

That is the general complaint about metagaming but you know what I do not really care too much about actual realism when it comes to mechanics usually but at the choices made level? hmmm should we consider that to be any different? Choices you make for the NPC that the adversaries do not...

yeh every monster has hands and fights with them not jaws and wings not claws or talons (ever seen a tiger or a bear throw something) or tentacles and thinks of using tools the way these hominid descendants do nods and the zombies think of that too ... cause you know their brains are such fine...

Nope excuses, Metagaming you have dangerous people around and ignore them to pound on the one that is no longer dangerous Incredibly unrealistic metagaming which you do because the game has people getting up you wouldnt even imagine it in 1e where a pc that goes down is disabled for a week no...

Fated Beast/Battle Companion the feat Intuitive understanding between the beast and master this is a bit like Lassy... very competent at scouting and knowing what master would want her to do in effect when the player is not there they still run their beast. Dogs are particularly well known...

I can just picture the Schrodinger's archers showing up and shouting take out that damn bird don't you know they have a rogue in the party!!!! OR monsters gaining super leap just in case.

You sure act like you do... and ones capable of multi-attacking too It has that swooping in and out ability for a reason and it isnt staying in reach it is for flying up out of reach, do your spirit birds all fly at melee height throughout the fight? You are the one acting like its so powerful...

ie I wonder if NPCs can just guess that guy must be a rogue able to make sneak attacks, making the owl a much bigger benefit than otherwise.... or if that is just the DM metagaming again. And it seems if advantage only pans out with a concrete effect less than 1 in 3 times for most characters...

No that is silly Power is relative.... compared to the maneuver for instance the maneuver can never be used for anything else like sent scouting can only be used on an enemy with the same range as the weapon you have equipped and only might create advantage once every 2 fights (not exactly it...

and advantage has zero effect more than 2 out of 3 turns that is majority of the fight. And the PC being one closer chunk to defeated I repeat is not no effect I was disputing what you said

if it hits.. so lets call the cost 2 arrows? and 2 attacks shall we on average every fight you arrange to have one of those right?

The context was threat: they arent doing the equivalent of a pc making an attack that would mean they were doubling it (which advantage does not do) and since you originally said you were using the "biggest threat" as how the enemy was attacking well no they absolutely are the lowest...

Speaking of metagaming I wonder do NPCs even know they have to hit a pc many times to take them out is this normal? Or are they surprised.

I am now picturing every battle having archers (ignoring that the majority of the monster manual are melee only) not to knock out those concentration spells or reduce pc hit points ... just for the damn familiar. LOL

the battle master maneuver that grants advantage uses a resource so that it is ahem once every 2 fights (and never soaks an attack for you) .... every round is more powerful than once every two fights ummm right? Oh right not if you always have archers to shoot the Owl out speaking of boring...

So do most NPC get healed off the ground all the time so this is a known thing? is the monsters and NPC going to know that is a possiblity? I just saw a meme the other day that said attacking downed PCs is a DM metagaming unless that is a common phenomena

Giving you that one maybe... its very open ended..
