[QUOTE="ElterAgo, post: 7794477, member: 6972046"] So yeah, we're still pretty new at 5th Ed and these questions may seem pretty obvious to some of you. 1) A trap says the target is paralyzed (or blinded) on a failed save. It doesn't give a duration. Does that mean it is permanent? Pretty harsh if so. 2) Consumable Items 2a) Anyone can use a potion, but what about staves, wands, or scrolls? Some of us thought only spell casters could use them. Some thought only a caster who has that spell on his list. What about if it is a divine item and it is an arcane caster? Does any of that make a difference or can just anyone use them? 2b) How many charges would you typically give to a wand or staff that is new? What about one that is found in treasure? 2c) Potions and scrolls are destroyed when they are consumed or read (or scribed), correct? What about wands and staves? I thought they could recharge staves but not wands. Isn't that the real difference between them? Can you recharge all of them? What is the cost or process to do so? 3) Paladin's Divine Senses - Can an observer tell you are doing this? We weren't sure if that should have started the fight or not. Bad guy was hiding in a crowd, but if he could tell he was about to be discovered, he should have lashed out. If not, he would keep trying to hide. 4) How difficult and time consuming would you say it is to light a fire with flint and steel? We were trying to do it in combat with trolls to stop the regenerating. 5) Darkvision. We were on the shore in daylight but kinda overcast. Would dark vision let you see into the dark cave or down into the water? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. [/QUOTE]
