Re: Simple RAW 3
We're starting to venture out of RAW territory and into ask-your-DM territory now as this is very unconventional. I will say this much based on the RAW. I don't think your familiar holding the hand crossbow for you is going to help with the action economy even if your DM does decide you can reload that crossbow with your one free hand. (It sounds very awkward but let's say he does) Well, you still have to use your one free object interaction to retrieve the crossbow from your familiar after loading it. Now you could drop it, have your familiar pick it up, and reload it but you won't have an object interaction to grab it again for the bonus action shot granted by Crossbow Expert. Even with a lenient DM this tactic would at best let you fire one shot per round normally while allowing your other hand to be holding something else, and you don't even need Crossbow Expert assuming the DM allows it. The best part of Crossbow Expert (the bonus action shot) will be wasted.

If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A138
When one creature takes a hostile action against another (its player announces their intention to attack, or cast a spell that the other creature would not want cast on it),
OR
When a creature discovers the threat posed by another creature (that was previously hiding its presence or intentions from it) - this usually means the discovering creature's Perception check beats the other's Stealth check, or its Insight check beats the other's Deception check.
Then surprise and initiative are determined.
After combat has started, if during a whole round, none of the combatants takes a hostile action (including actions during a chase), combat has ended and the initiative order can be abandoned.

Q141: suppose I'm two weapon fighting with a rapier and a whip. When does a creature provoke an opportunity attack from me? When it leaves my 5 ft. rapier range, when it leaves my 10 ft. whip range or both?

If you opt to dash in the same round as you use Wind Step, the dash will be based on your normal movement mode and speed.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Even so, doesn't change the fact you cannot use the ability in conjunction with a dash and that it does not get doubled when haste is applied to the character using it.
"As part of your move" you spend psi and get to move 20' per point spent, to a max of 7 points.
This ability is pretty straight forward in this regard.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q142: If you're on your home plane when you get banished, you're sent to a demiplane and incapacitated (which would interrupt your Concentration); however, the spell doesn't specify that you're incapacitated if you start from another plane. Can you escape another plane by Banishing yourself?

Re: Simple RAW 3
From PHB, under Melee Attacks: Most creatures have a 5-foot reach and can thus attack targets within 5 feet of them when making a melee attack. Certain creatures (typically those larger than Medium) have melee attacks with a greater reach than 5 feet, as noted in their descriptions.
From PHB, under Weapon Properties: Reach. This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it.
Since everyone can make (and is proficient with) an unarmed strike (the table in PHB is faulty on this regard and has been addressed by an errata), you are always capable of making an opportunity attack when someone leaves your natural reach even if you weren't holding any weapons, or when someone leaves the reach of your weapon. But, as quoted before "When you take a reaction, you can't take another one until the start of your next turn," it falls to you to decide when you use your reaction to make an Opportunity Attack.Last edited by Arkhios; 2017-03-29 at 04:13 AM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A143. Wisdom. (Currently) the only way you could get Shillelagh via Magic Initiate is by taking it from Druid, and your spellcasting ability for any spells gained from Magic Initiate matches the class you took the feat for. e.g. taking Magic Initiate for druid spells means you use your wisdom for those spells.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q 144
If I use my bonus action to cast a bonus action spell, and I get successfully counterspell'd, can I use my action during the same turnto cast a non-cantrip spell, or do the bonus action casting rules still apply even if I didnt manage to successfully cast my bonus action spell?
Thanks in advance.Hacks!

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 144 The RAW is unclear enough that you will get disagreement on that. Crawford says the spell slot is expended which strongly implies that the spell was actually cast but it was corrupted by Counterspell during casting such that it doesn't function. The spell was still cast and the slot is gone. If you accept that interpretation, then you've cast a bonus action spell (though unsuccessfully) and can now only cast a cantrip that turn. Some on this forum believe the spell is interrupted and not cast and that the slot is not even expended which implies the spell wasn't actually cast. If you follow the latter interpretation, then they could still cast a full spell.
If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

Can a disguised Rakshasa's true form be found via a True Seeing spell cast at its normal level (six)? It says it cannot be affected or detected by spells of 6th level or lower.Last edited by Xaroth; 2017-04-01 at 11:52 PM.
