The Rug of Smothering has the ability to smother targets, who become at risk of suffocating. What do you think it means rule-wise? They can't breath and must hold their breath? They run out of breath and will suffocate at the start of their next turn? If i compare it to the Whelm's attack of a...

How do you guys handle positioning when unseen, wether invisible, heavily obscured or blinded? Do you make such creature's location still known (as well as miniature if playing with them) or you don't? It's a subject of contention in our group with people coming off various edition, AD&D folks...

5E's Impenetrable Darkness syndrome all over again! This happened during 4E early days during first PHB release for those who remember and still happen here. As written, when you are in darkness, you are blinded and cannot see any remove lit area and people within, which is a problem RAW. Any...
