Re: Simple RAW 3
A329 You have disadvantage on attacks against a target that you can't see. You have advantage on attacks against a target that can't see you. It cancels out if neither of you can see the other. As for being aware of their general presence or precise location, that falls under the mechanics of perception, stealth and hiding, which are a very debated topic.

Q#330
The behir's swallow ability says that it must make a Constitution saving throw if it takes 30 or more damage on a single turn. Does this mean that a single character must damage it by 30 or more on their turn, or that it must accumulate 30 or more damage over the round?Last edited by Ronnocius; 2017-10-08 at 12:06 AM.

Q# 330
The Behir would have to take 30 damage on one creature's turn. However this does not imply that it has to be from a single character or a single attack. A character can make multiple attacks, dealing a total damage of 30+, or if a character has a readied action or a reaction attack, they can also do damage as part of another character's turn.

Q# 331
Admittedly, this is probably a dumb question but are the Rogues & Bards Expertise tied to class level or character level? I'v assumed it's been class.

Am I affected by the Illusions I cast? Example: A gnome creates the Minor Illusion of a boulder, and stands inside the image. Can he see through it?Last edited by Laserlight; 2017-10-11 at 07:53 AM.

Q333
I cannot seem to find a simple straight answer anywhere for this, which means either im searching in the wrong place , or its just common knowledge that i dont possess.
GFB with War Magic from EK
would it work as i think it does ?
GFB which lets me attack then i get the extra attack from War Magic, effectively making it a multi attack of 2 + GFB damage
is this correct ?Last edited by SaA; 2017-10-10 at 09:23 PM.

Q334
What are the mechanics for gaining a cohort?
The Player's Handbook says that a player can hire mercenary soldiers as "skilled hireling 2 GP per day" but how would a player entice the NPC to join them? I know in 3.5 you could use the Leadership skill check to gain cohorts but I can't find any rules in 5e about when you can or can't.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 332 You are affected by your own illusions generally but you could see through it because you're physically interacting with it (touching it). If any other creatures saw you pass through the boulder, they would see through the illusion also.
Note: I said "generally" you are affected as well. There are exceptions. Phantasmal Force, for instance, is single target and even the caster can't see the illusion; only the target.If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?
In real estate, they say it's all about location, location, location. In D&D I say it's about action economy, action economy, action economy.

There are no mechanics for gaining a cohort. Hired mercs are just that -- dudes you find in a city and you pay to travel with you. They're not going to be very high level -- probably 3rd level at most. They'll take a share of the XP and may want a share of the loot on top of their daily pay.
If you really want a cohort, you'll have to let your DM know and do some RP for it.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 336: Yes.
A 335: No, though I believe you dismount into an adjacent space at the cost of half your movement. Since you're not moving, no difficult terrain penalty.
I suppose, though, you are considering the mount. If the mount moves through its rider's space (as it must always do), is that difficult terrain? Obviously RAI is not that a ridden mount always moves at half speed, so choose your RAW explanation: Either a) the space doesn't count as "owned" by the rider because the rider is mounted, or b) the space "belongs" to the mount as much as it does the rider, so it doesn't count as moving through "another creature"'s space.

Re: Simple RAW 3
To expand on this, it has also been ruled that if you have an ability that expands your threat range like from a Champion Fighter or such, the rolls that critically hit are also auto hits.
So a champion fighter who can critically hit on an 18 - 20 also auto hits on a roll of 18 - 20.
Not that it comes up much but there you go.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q339if someone or something wants to grab me, they just walk up to me and the strength check happens for the grapple. Regarding RAW, if I'm invisible, there is no difference, correct? Meaning they know where I am and can just walk up to me and start a grapple without any game mechanics changing ?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A340 Super difficult call there. By straight RAW, invisibility and mirror image work together. The caveat is that Mirror image doesn't work on a creature if it can't see, and invisibility makes it so creatures can't see the mirror images. I suppose that in the exact case of a creature being invisible and having mirror image, it the effects work together, but if the creature were effectively invisible via darkness or blindness, the effects would not combine.
Though I don't think I could fault anyone if they ruled otherwise.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A342 Smell; touch; logical deduction?
A341 Any animal, including familiars (Warlock or otherwise) can only equip what items its form allows it to reasonably wear or wield. If it has hands, it can hold a weapon, though it wouldn't be proficient.
A339 I have heard that the grapple attempt still counts as an attack, even though you don't make an attack roll, and thus the grapple check is made at disadvantage if the target is invisible. But I don't have a source for that. And it may be RAI, but I can't see how it's RAW (as RAW, invisibility only imposes disadvantage on "attack rolls", which a Strength check is not).

If they already know where you are, then yes.Proclaiming something "objectively" true or false does not excuse you from proving it so.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q344 Exactly what dice do you roll twice on a critical hit? I know there's the base weapon damage dice, but what about paladin smites or sneak attack dice? For that matter, what about spell attacks? If you roll a 20 on an eldritch blast, do you roll 2d10 for damage?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A344. All dice unless mentioned otherwise. Both the dice from Divine Smite and Sneak Attack would be doubled along with the weapon dice.
Also, an attack is an attack, so it doesn't matter if the critical roll was made with a weapon or a spell. Even spells that deal damage based on an attack roll would have damage dice doubled on a critical hit.Last edited by Arkhios; 2017-10-19 at 03:03 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q345 Question?
Telekinesis opposes a strength check. So basically I would only add my modifier versus their casting stat.
For example 20 strength for +5 modifier versus their spell DC.
No proficiency added for saves.
No proficiency added for athletics.
So for a 20 strength I get +5 only, if raging possible advantage?
And since it is a check, the mage slayer feat would not help?
Would the lucky feat or indomitable help?
