Assuming a PC wizard carries 10 tiny or small objects (say, small metal balls in a bag, daggers or darts in a special bandoleer, arrows in a quiver and such), what is the quickest way to make them "not being worn or carried"? What kind of action or actions will he need to scatter 10 of such...

The next campaign I attend as a player seems to start at L1 and then ends at L5 or so. Thus, I do know that going multiclass is not a great idea. Non the less I am planning to play a Paladin/Bard (College of Swords). Start from a L1 paladin. He is meant to be a member of Harpers and I am...

Assuming someone is invisible by a spell or similar magic, how Detect Magic works against it? The caster of Detect Magic spell will see the aura surrounding a invisibility creature. Should that mean the caster can technically "see" the invisible creature? Or should the caster know the exact...

Hmm. I guess my DM will not allow that item as Japanese edition of Xanather's Guide is not yet published. By the way, I found that the only spell with material component which may cause "one open hand" trouble is Feather Fall. Do you guys and ladies think he can drop his weapon as a part of...

IIRC sword and board EK is quite clumsy. Even with War Caster feat, he cannot cast spells with material component unless he drops a weapon. Though he can call his weapon spending a bonus action, bonus action is precious in 5e, right?

In the current plan, his STR is 20 and his Int is 16. So javelin attack is better at short range. When he is taking an attack action, can he throw a javelin, take it back by bond (bonus action) and throw it again?

My EK uses a maul and no physical shield. He has warcaster feat, too.

I am going to play a 8th-level Eldritch knight in a campaign which starts from September. At this level, the EK knows only 2 cantrips and 1+ level spell slots are still precious. And, since he is a typical Str/Int EK, his ranged weapon attacks are rather poor (throwing a Javelin or shooting a...

Assuming that we will play an adventure involves much dungeon crawling (say, White Plume mountain) using 5e rules, how much important to have a pure-rogue? Should we have at least one dedicated dexterity-based-rogue? Or some other class with a level dip of rogue (for proficiency to Thieve's...

Yes. From 3.5e SRD, So, when you fight with a double weapon "as if fighting with two weapons", all the rules regarding two-weapon combat, including TWF feat, are applied. Of course, when you are using it as a two-handed weapon, TWF feat is not applied.

What will happen if a mage shares Time Stop spell with one's familiar (via Share Spells ability of familiar)? Will the mage and the familiar separately take extra rounds gained by the spell, without interacting with each other? Or should they act in the same extra rounds? If the latter is...

Several times in the past, I used DMG2 mob template for representing units of low-level soldiers and it worked well. But now the PCs of my current campaign hit 16th level. At this level, usual mobs are not that much of a threat (and by the rule, CR 8 mob does not give any XPs to 16th-level PCs)...

Sometimes, an item must make a saving throw or destroyed. Usually the wearer/wielder can use his saving throw. But not always. For example, if a weapon is disarmed by Nightwalker and the monster attempts to crush, the weapon must make a DC 34 save or destroyed. Even if the weapon is an relic...

I have just painted one of them. Hmm ... more like some living creature than to be a construct?

A little bit smaller than most of the today's "medium" humanoid minis. I guess they can be used for either small or medium humanoid creatures. Edit: Thanks. I found Scarecrow in Dragon # 355.

I have these nice little minis from Reaper Bones 3 What kind of D&D creatures can be represented by those minis? Preferably, something related to undead, shadow plane or both. But anything can be met in the Underdark or in the planes of shadow will work for me. Any suggestions are welcomed.

In 5e, an opponent provokes an opportunity attack from PC when it goes out of the PC's reach. That means, if a PC is using a reach weapon and has 10-feet reach, an opponent can run freely within a 10-feet radius circle centered on the PC. For that, sometimes, using a reach weapon is a bad idea...

I am currently using Parallels Desktop and actually running Windows 8.1 on my MacBook for using IE and D&D Insider. Because the Insider is using Silverlight, it seems that most of the other browsers don't make it run. Is there any way to use Insider on non-Windows devices now? I have an iPhone...
