[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6431405, member: 6716779"] He wins initiative, no ally nearby = no sneak attack. He dashes 80' away and then fires his bow for 1d6+5 damage on the off chance the DM would throw a spear at him with disadvantage so he can use this reaction to halve the 1d8+2 damage. Thas a betetr plan than readying an action to have your attack when someone is close enough. Fighter goes into melee gets KOed the the fighter we need to hit has +2 AC and the Rogue misses his shot vs ac 23 or 24 As opposed to melee, potential bard dice and I can knock the BBEG prone and no +2 AC for cover) IDK why to be honest but when hauled up about it the response was along the lines "I can only use uncanny dodge 1/round and it uses my reaction to ready an action". Probably should have known we were in trouble when he took the mobility feat so he can use his bonus action to dash everywhere. Basically he was to far away to move, bonus action heal and take an attack, in the wrong position/situation to enable sneak attacks, not in the right position to support the fighter or use uncanny dodge, to far away to get bardic dice even if I wanted to help him and to far away to get extra sneak attacks via dissonant whispers. Its happening again and again as well. The Bard and Wizard are going nova alot but eventually we run out of stuff and then bad things happen up to and including both of us going into a deadly fight on steroids with 0 spells left and all healing options exhausted.
