[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8528076, member: 15700"] I'm playing a RK now. [I]In addition, when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to invoke the rune and choose a different creature within 30 feet of you, other than the attacker. The chosen creature becomes the target of the attack, using the same roll. This magic can transfer the attack’s effects regardless of the attack’s range.[/I] Basically, the answer is yes to many of your questions. It includes sneak attack and crits and all of that (provided the attack roll would also hit the new target). As far as this part: Pretty sure the new target will be absolutely surprised to suddenly find themselves the target of one of their allies attacks, and done magically from a distance ;) During our last play session I'll give you an example. We were fighting 2 gnome mind flayers. One of the mind flayers stunned the monk, and grappled it. Which then it proceeded to eat the monk's brain, doing 60 points of damage. But what's that? Because that brain eating attack required an attack roll, I shifted it to the other mind flayer. A TPK (it almost assuredly would be), was turned into stunning victory because none of us could reach that other mind flayer which was about to stun us all again. The monk player was certainly appreciative :D Hex would only work if the attacker was also the one who placed the hex. So let's say a warlock hexes a giant. the warlock then attacks an ogre, and you shift the attack from the ogre to the giant. Assuming it hits, you would also apply hex damage since the person doing the damage (the warlock, not you shifting it) was the one who hexed the giant. [/QUOTE]
