    D&D 5E Character sheet and rules questions

    Hi, Two things. First, I've made a version of the WotC PDF form-fillable character sheet that actually does the math for you, filling in things like skill totals as you go - would I be allowed to upload this? Or could I diff it against the WotC distributed version and upload the diffs file...

    Broken Wizard combo?

    Our wizard player spotted this one last session. He has an Orb of Fickle Fate, plus Orb Mastery. Plus a feat that gives -2 saves against effects. So he'll kick off an encounter with Destructive Salutation, and if it hits, use his Orb Mastery and the Fickle Fate power all stacked together to...

    Flying and unbalancing parry..

    The following situation came up recently: An enemy is flying 2 squares up, and wielding a weapon with Reach 2. It tries to stab a Ranger who is on the ground, and misses. The ranger expresses a wish to use Unbalancing Parry to move the creature. The ruling as follows: per forced movement...

    Sorting out Line of Sight, Cover, etc...

    I've been bothered by this for some time, but I wonder if there's any clear plan to sort out the rules on Line of Sight and Effect, and similar. The rulebook gives an excellent description of the differences between Cover and Concealment, and Line Of Sight and Line Of Effect - and then fails...

    Another round of probably unrelated questions..

    1 - When you sustain a conquration do you need just range to it, or do you also need line of sight/effect? (Ie, can a Cleric throw a Spiritual Weapon into a room, then have the rest of the party barricade the door?) 2 - When someone starts Dying, do they lose any status effects on them, in...

    Bronze Warder MALFUNCTION, MALFUNCTION..

    The Bronze Warder is a new monster in Thunderspire Labyrinth. It has quite a few abilities, but only two relevant to this question: During the adventure, the players have the opportunity to pick up a pair of Dwarven Grieves, which negate forced movement. So, here's the situation: BB...

    Some questions on stealth, invisibility (again) and TL

    I get the feeling this is a bit of an old saw here, but I wonder what the consensus is on this (I would ask Wizards but their website is falsely claiming that I have cookies disabled) General: - Can an invisible enemy flank a target? (Nothing in the rules blocks this but this would mean that...

    Cover and shooting - through a wall?

    Here's the situation: A ### B A and B are characters, #'s are a wall. North is towards A. A is able to draw a line from the southwest corner of his space, to the northwest corner of B's space. (Per PHB, a line which passes along the edge of an obstacle isn't blocked.). He is...

    Shadowfell Sample Wizard: math error?

    We started our campaign with the KotS sample characters, but now I'm trying to reverse engineer them I've hit a slightly strange problem with the Wizard.. His Willpower score. Willpower. Base 10, +1 Wis, +1 Human, +2 Wizard, = 14. But the sheet says 15. I can't see where the extra point...

    A number of (mostly unconnected) rules questions

    I'm sorry if these have been dealt with before here, but I'd be really grateful for any answers to these: 1 - It seems that Rogues are incredibly powerful because of how easy it is to hide. This comes about for two reasons: first it seems very easy to obtain cover (it would appear from our...
