[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7416961, member: 97077"] When discussing matters on the forums, I usually quote and reference the Basic Rules which are [URL="http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/PlayerBasicRulesV03.pdf"]available on the Wizards website as a PDF[/URL]. I do that so that anyone who wants to look up the rule but doesn't have the book on them can use the PDF. I also reference the PDF because they can be keyword searched whereas a physical book cannot. I suppose there's the possibility that someone might have a pirated PDF of the PHB, so that he or she could, say, copy and paste the entry for "Marching Order," but [I]you[/I] would't do that, would you? I like to assume people don't engage in that sort of thing and can use the Basic Rules for reference when they don't have a physical copy of the book with them. In any case, the rules I referenced are the same in the PHB and the [URL="http://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/PH-Errata.pdf"]August 2017 errata[/URL] includes no changes to the referenced rules. You can cross-reference if you want. They're all there and I invite you to review them. I think you'll find everything I've posted is correct. More importantly though, I think you'll find that the rules referenced by Arial Black and myself address the concerns you have with the particular game situations you mentioned upthread. You have thus far failed to acknowledge that and I hope you'll come around to seeing that as being true since we were trying to help you achieve what you wanted while still being in the framework of the rules.
