[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9500367, member: 59057"] It is worthwhile to note that Treantmonk assumes damage before initiative is rolled. Which by reading the DMG rules is probably incorrect. The druid should get advantage on their initiative check at most, as their presence/action to open the door initiates combat (as explained in the DMG combat section). Then he uses ready without perceivable circumstances (PHB). Then he also allows the druid to be carried back and forth in the same 6 seconds which is not necessarily allowed (as explained with the peasant railgun example in the DMG that this should be discouraged by the DM). Then he does not have the enemies raise any kind of alarm when they die. The dungeon is completely static and thus would not be dangerous anyway. So overall it is a nice thought experiment but not one that is strictly RAW nor RAI. No, you should not design a game around rules exploits. The DMG has the correct answer for plays like this. That does not mean showing such examples are not great ways to demonstrate DMs what can happen if you allow people to exploit rules. That is totally unneeded... [/QUOTE]
