Re: Simple RAW 3
Q120
When looking at the magic Item:
Periapt of Wound Closure
It states:
While you wear this pendant, you stabilize whenever you are dying at the start of Your Turn. In addition, whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain hit points, double the number of hit points it restores.
Would this also count when Rolling Hit Die as you level?

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q 122
Is there any general rule preventing a non-spellcaster to use a magic item that can cast spell (beside scrolls) ? Like, for instance, can a Battlemaster attune and cast the spell of the Spider Staff in LMoP?Que tous les anciens dieux et les nouveaux protègent la France.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q123 Does resistance stack with other means of damage reduction? Specific example: does Barbarian rage damage resistance stack with Rogue's Uncanny Dodge, resulting in 1/4 damage?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A121: The ghost ability 'possession' causes the creature to be incapacitated, thus cannot take actions or reactions. The rage is maintained if the barbarian gets attacked - meaning that the barbarian would get the damage reduction.
Possession states that the ghost cannot use class abilities - it does not gain the benefits of the rage while controlling the barbarian.
A123: it does not stack. Resistance from any source does not stack with other resistances. Pg. 96 (or 97?) in the SRD.
Strangely, Resistance and vulnerability stack (Because a strict reading of the rules do not say otherwise), leading to a possible rounding of 1 damage in favor of the attacker: apply resistance and then apply vulnerability.
EDIT: the fun rounding extra damage works like this: take 3 damage! resistance halves it to 1.5, rounding up to 2. Vulnerability doubles it to 4! The PHB says apply resistance and then vulnerability.Last edited by gfishfunk; 2017-03-13 at 04:40 PM.

Apply resistance down to 3. DM's discretion, I guess, but that was not your original question...Last edited by NecessaryWeevil; 2017-03-13 at 04:42 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
R123: My mistake - I answered whether resistance applies twice. It doesn't.
Uncanny dodge and resistance stacks, however. Uncanny Dodge is not a resistance - it just looks like it. The description of resistance in the PHB says apply resistance and then vulnerability after all other modifiers.
Take 15 damage. So, half the damage through uncanny dodge (which is NOT a resistance) to 7.5 rounding to 8, and then half the damage through resistance, to 4. And then (in the rare event of applicability), apply vulnerability to 8.
While it IS RAW, it might change at your table due to DM interpretation.Last edited by gfishfunk; 2017-03-13 at 04:46 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A118 That's up to DM decision, although it is mentioned in the phb under "Difficult Terrain" on page 190: "Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of difficult terrain...".
So while it is up to the DM, it's probably difficult terrain.Last edited by Arenabait; 2017-03-16 at 10:00 AM.

Q117 - Life domain Cleric feature "Disciple of Life" and the spell "Regenerate"
If a Life Domain cleric casts Regenerate, will the bonus healing from Disciple of Life affect the initial healing of the spell only, or does it also buff the ongoing healing?

Re: Simple RAW 3
Frankly I don't think there's a strict RAW answer to this. It depends how you choose to interpret the placement of "use" in the Disciple of Life description. Should you consider that the Cleric is using Regenerate to restore points every time the spell triggers or only actively as a part of the initial casting? Unless someone else has a clear interpretation of RAW that I've missed it probably warrants its own thread.

Re: Simple RAW 3
An interesting ruling was made by Sage Advice, regarding Goodberry with Disciple of Life:
http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/sage...rs-august-2015
Seems each berry would restore 4hp for a Life Cleric with access to the spell, which seems to support the idea that Disciple of Life will trigger whenever one of your spells actually restores hitpoints.Last edited by Squibsallotl; 2017-03-14 at 10:22 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 117 My interpretation of the RAW is it happens whenever the cleric takes some action that causes healing from one of his spells. With Regeneration it happens when he casts the spell and only then. After that, the spell is acting completely on it's own.
From the ability (emphasis mine):
Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature...
But I agree there is some interpretation here and that's simply my own interpretation of it.Last edited by Dalebert; 2017-03-15 at 08:22 AM.
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.

Q120
If I wanted to have a black dragon try to pick up a humanoid in two claws and then dunk them in a giant pile of knives, what would that be roll-wise? Opposed Strength ability checks to see if they get picked up, then have the PC make a Constitution saving throw to see if they get extra hurt by all the knives they just got shoved into?Last edited by DragonBaneDM; 2017-03-15 at 12:55 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A120: Start with the dragon initiating a grapple (per usual rules). If the dragon succeeds have it move to the pile of knives (1/2 speed due to grappling). On the following round have the dragons action effectively be using the PC to attack the pile of knives, decide a fair damage (say 10d4) and give the PC a Dex save for half.
Naturally towards the end here you are heading away from RAW a little; but suffice to say this is an easy and quick way to resolve the action while giving the PC 2 attempts to escape (initial, then again on his turn) AND a save to take less damage. Win-win in my book.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A120, cont'd: As you said, this is not a RAW answer, so I won't address the "using the PC to attack the knives" bit, but I would like to point out that the dragon's speed would only be halved if it were two (or fewer) size categories larger than the PC. Assuming no temporary size adjustments, that means a Black Dragon Wyrmling would be slowed, and a Young Black Dragon would be slowed if the PC were size Small. Otherwise, the dragon's speed is unaffected.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q121 If i have Find Familiar, can it affect me with the Warding Bond spell if i cast it through it as me as the target?
Find Familiar spell detail:
Finally, when you Cast a Spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an Attack roll, you use your Attack modifier for the roll.
In the end, its cast as if the Familiar has casted it, so would i be affected by the +1 AC and the resistance to damage? (I understand that it means that the familiar will be the one taking half the damage, so basically making it die as soon as i get hit)
Also how would the Sanctuary spell would if i cast a Touch spell through it to do damage, in the end, as the spell points out above, its as if the familiar has casted it, so... would the Sanctuary banish if i cast any harmful spell through my familiar?Last edited by Maxilian; 2017-03-16 at 03:00 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A121
The Warding Bond would indeed originate from the Familiar and provide you the bonus AC and damage resistance. Note however that the familiar doesn't take half the damage that goes through, it shares all the damage with you. E.g. If an enemy attack would have dealt 10 damage to you, it gets halved by the resistance to 5 damage, and both you and your familiar take 5 damage each.
By a strict reading of RAW, I would say that your Touch spells delivered via the Familiar do not break Sanctuary. This is clearly against RAI for the spell though, as Jeremy Crawford points out in a similar ruling on sage advice:

Re: Simple RAW 3
I'd disagree with this part. The text of Sanctuary makes it clear that CASTING a harmful spell is what ends the effect. The familiar may DELIVER the spell as though it had cast it but you are still the one who actually cast the harmful spell. By RAW the Sanctuary spell ends when you cast a harmful spell through your familiar.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q122, Does the Warlock ability "Soul of the Raven", makes me invulnerable while i'm on that form? having in mind it says:
"You gain the benefits of your raven being perched on your shoulder"
and the "Sentinel Raven" ability says that:
While the raven is perched on your shoulder,
you gain darkvision with a range of 30 feet and a
bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception)
score and to Wisdom (Perception) checks. The
bonus equals your Charisma modifier. While
perched on your shoulder, the raven can’t be
targeted by any attack or other harmful effect;
only you can cast spells on it; it can’t take
damage; and it is incapacitated.
Also thakns @Squibsallotl for your time, and i agree with @FlashyLast edited by Maxilian; 2017-03-17 at 12:19 PM.
