[QUOTE="Keto, post: 9053163, member: 7042131"] Hello there. I am soon going to become a DM for A5E. I have been reading the rules and, so far, enjoying what I see. Definitely an improvement upon 5e and most of my players dig the idea. However, I have some questions on several topics while reading this. I will make sure to create a different thread once I come up with more questions, but so far these few will suffice. 1. If you have a 1d4 expertise die in a skill (e.g. Acrobatics) and another 1d4 expertise die in a skill specialty of the same skill (e.g. Tumble) do these two mix into a 1d6 once the player makes an Acrobatic check that applies usage of Tumble specialty? So if I have 1d4 expertise die on Acrobatics and no die on Tumble, do I still get 1d4 expertise bonus on tumbling because the Tumble is like a 'sub-skill' of Acrobatics? Just curious how these interact. If you can use any helpful examples, please do. :) 2. If I used 'Brake' with my vehicle on this turn it would move half its movement speed and lose momentum. Next turn I could use 'Stop' to make it halt since it has no momentum. However, what if I do nothing? Like, what if I do not use a 'Stop' action and do not keep driving it? Will it just stop by itself without me using any bonus actions to command it to do so? 3. If, for example, a gargantuan vehicle hits a halfling... will both the vehicle and the halfling take 12d6 bludgeoning damage? I know that the halfling will be shoved out of the way because they're Small, but considering their size and mass... will the vehicle really be taking that much damage or am I missing something? I will have more questions as I progress, but this is it for now. I appreciate any constructive answers. :) Really fell in love with this system so I hope I can have a great time with the community and too. [/QUOTE]
