Let's say a PC uses a Scroll of Protection from Undead. This creates a "5-foot-radius, 10-foot-high cylinder" that acts as a " barrier [that] prevents undead from entering or affecting anything within the cylinder" of protection. A skeleton down the hall shoots an arrow at the PC. Does the...

Rules for a magical sword that one of my players uses states: "In addition, those within the radius can’t be charmed, frightened or possessed by aberrations, fiends, demons and undead." (The sword emits light in an 80 foot radius that offers certain protections, in case you were wondering why...

Layoffs should be seen as the result of poor management. But in today's economy, layoffs are actually considered good management because they increase shareholder wealth.

I'm trying to uncover RAI and enjoy friendly D&D rules debates. I want the spell to work the way it's intended to work. But I've seen no logical argument why "you" should refer exclusively to the caster in only one sentence of the spell description while simultaneously assuming that in every...

But why would one assume "you" refers exclusively to the caster in only one sentence of the spell description while also referring to all other targets in all the other sentences in the spell description? There's nothing in the text that differentiates between who the "you" is referring to...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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.

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...

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!

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...

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...

Thanks for the answers!

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?

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...

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?
