    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Yes. But it doesn't help me, because if the word's referent remains the same throughout, then all other other uses of "you" does not apply to targets other than the caster. We can assume RAI is that only the caster can dismiss the spell, but the text certainly doesn't make that intention...

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Except the spell states: "If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot." This is not standard for ethereal movement. This is only a feature of the Etherealness spell, since, according to the DMG, "The Ethereal Plane also disobeys the laws of gravity; a creature there can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Levitate does: "If you are the target, you can move up or down as part of your move." However, in this case, the spell specifically states that it is changing the use of "you" to now mean anybody targeted. But even if I didn't find that example, my question stands: Other than simply bad...

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Ahhhh... good catch. I'll have to note that for future uses.

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Except, the spell uses "you" when discussing how the spell works in general. So if the spell is cast upon other targets, they become the "you" in how the spell works. For example: the spell states "you can move in any direction." Clearly, if the spell is only affecting the caster, the "you" is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    This was my thought in the heat of battle. "You" is clearly the caster when cast regularly. But once another target is affected, the "You" seems to apply to whomever is under the spell's effects.

    D&D 5E (2014) Etherealness "Upcast" Question

    Hello all, In a current game, our Cleric cast Etherealness using an 8th level spell slot, allowing him to cast it on himself and three other people. According to the spell description "You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use your action to dismiss the spell." The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking For "Monster" Help

    Hi all, I'm looking for enemies for my campaign that are decent representatives of specific character classes at higher levels (10+, preferably). I'm looking for a sorcerer, monk, and a warlock. I'm looking for official WotC stats or stats from Kobold Press' Creature Codex, Tome of Beasts 1...

    Yep. Another valid point indicating I beefed it!

    D&D 5E (2014) Banishment and Incapacitated

    Ah! I think you're right on Plane Shifting back. The Retriever has an ability (Faultless Tracker) that allows it to know the exact location and distance to its quarry. That's how it was able to Plane Shift right back to them. HOWEVER, I just noted that the ability specifies the retriever must be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Banishment and Incapacitated

    A question for the hive... Banishment spell says "If the target is native to the plane of existence you're on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated..." But then has a whole other paragraph about those non-native targets: "If the target is...

    Spelljammer Gravity Plane

    Question: If you fall off a Spelljammer in space and are still within the ship's gravity plane, can you simply use your movement to get back to the ship?

    D&D 5E (2014) Quicken and Ready

    Hi all, Have a rules question about something the Sorcerer/Warlock in my game did the other night. They used Quickened Spell to shoot off Eldritch Blast as a Bonus Action. Then used Ready as their action to shoot off an Eldritch Blast as a Reaction when their enemy came into view later. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Well, poo. This is my favorite setting. But it makes sense. A watered-down Dark Sun wouldn't be Dark Sun. And this setting would need lots of water... eh?

    D&D 5E (2014) Time Stop from Stopped Perspective

    Hi all, I had an enemy cast Time Stop to escape from my PCs. It got me to thinking... what do those under the influence of stopped time experience? Do they still perceive what is going on around them while time is stopped? Or do they just notice what has changed once time starts again? Do they...

    Is there an official 5E source that has a fully crewed Nautiloid? Looking for some guidance on it beyond "Crew 20". Thanks in advance.

    D&D 5E (2014) Telekinesis and Teleporting Out of Sight

    That was my initial thought in my ruling during the time. But the spell has a specific duration for affecting creatures: "Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained in your telekinetic grip." Spell durations don't end when line of sight is lost unless the text specifically says...
