Important to remember: TORTURE ALMOST ALWAYS YIELDS FALSE INFORMATION. Yes, if you start breaking his bones and pulling out his fingernails, he WILL tell you that he works for The Bandit King whose base is under Castle Blackthorn in the Deathgloom Mountains beyond the Forest of Suffering. But...

I played an Elf Charlatan Rogue, and my favorite thing about the character was that when I was introduced to the party, I was posing as a traveling Ambassador to a far-off exotic city-state. I dressed flamboyantly, spoke with a fake accent, and frequently brought up the fictitious land I came...

His name is Jon Lovitz.

My PCs are working as Scouts for a famous Monster Hunter. He can't be everywhere at once, so when someone hires him to slay a terrible monster, his team of Scouts heads out overland to find the monster, confirm its existence, and locate its lair. Then the REAL Monster Hunter comes in to do...

The very definition of a turn given in the PHB indicates that taking a turn is when you either do something or choose not to do something. Anything. If you can't do anything or make the choice not to do anything, then you did not take a turn. When you're at 0 HP, the thing you're doing is...

There is no need to be insulting. I was making a point separate from your point.

They don't have to mention it. If you define a turkey sandwich as "turkey between two pieces of bread," and then I tell you that for today's lunch you can't have turkey or bread, I didn't tell you you can't have a turkey sandwich, but it doesn't look like you're having one today, does it?

And truer words were ne'er spoken.

The definition of a "turn" is that the player must have some ability to make a decision about what they do or do not do. If the character can not do anything (move/act/ready an action/take a free action) then they have not taken a turn. Their turn came up in the order and they were unable to...

You "have" the turn, but you can not "take" the turn. "Taking a turn" means you must do something. Incapacitating someone prevents them from "taking" their turn.

A reaction can occur on your turn or someone else's. Reactions are a separate entity from the concept of the "turn"

People are getting hung up on the definition of "turn". What is a "Turn"? According to the PHB: Now, reading that, I don't know how you can think that someone who has no ability to make any decisions about whether or not they will move or act has "taken a turn". Are they moving? Are they...

If he can't perform any actions or move, then he hasn't taken a turn. If his initiative came up in the order and he CHOSE to do nothing, then he took his turn. But if he is HELD or otherwise INCAPACITATED and prevented from doing anything (especially from doing anything to defend himself) then...

You didn't read my last paragraph, which you actually quoted in your post. As I said, in the post you quoted but did not read, you would have ADVANTAGE on those attacks because your targets had not taken any actions in combat (which is a requirement of the Advantage portion of Assassinate), but...

Double post

You can use it every round of combat where an opponent has NOT YET TAKEN ANY ACTION in that combat. So, you sneak in through the skylight and SURPRISE! Assassinate an enemy. Then, everyone rolls initiative. You beat everyone and go first. You can assassinate AGAIN! Your team's Wizard goes...

But how is that functionally different? If you were playing a PRIEST OF NATURE then and playing a DRUID now, you'd still not have access to all the Cleric of Life spells. It's just a question of making one big class with different specializations that allow characters to differentiate versus...

How did specialty priests work? I haven't played AD&D in almost 20 years. I'm playing a Cleric right now for the first time ever, and my Tempest domain Cleric is wholly different from the other Life Domain Cleric in the party, and crazy fun to play.

I was under the impression that clothes only count as weight if you're carrying them rather than wearing them. If you wear your clothes, you've freed up another 4 pounds. A waterskin only weighs 5 lbs when it's full. If you're in a town or city, or in the wilderness with a Ranger or anyone...
