Some things in the game are a challenge.Yes.Also yes.  That's what a readied action does.  It interrupts when the trigger happens and you get to go first.Trade off.  Fighter does it, then rogue does it, and then bard does it.  Then rest.There are literally thousands of reasons why you didn't kill them in combat, but would if they continued to attack you. Pick one.So first, no.  Only rare(if any) NPCs have class levels.  NPC casters just cast similar to PC classes.  They don't actually possess class levels.  Second, I'm talking about hit dice to regain hit points, not hit dice you roll for their original hit points.  That should have been clear when I referenced rolling hit dice to heal.Don't assume.  Use RAW.  There are no class levels involved in any NPC stat blocks in the MM.  Monsters/NPCs and PCs do not use the same rules unless the DM chooses that option when creating the NPC. As you note in your hit point quote, RAW does not give monsters hit dice to heal with. It only gives them initial hit points.I could see the argument being made for Clairvoyance to work to see things that are beyond line of sight, but not work for powers to work through.And I break posts apart like that because I have ADHD and if I don't start responding to portions as I encounter them, I will forget a lot of what I have to say. I'm sorry if it's annoying to you, but it's the way I have to respond.</blockquote>
