    Q 148

    Does Lightning Arrow from the Ranger's spell list deal damage to the target both if it hits and because of the area of effect? A creature is by definition within 10ft of itself, but I'd like a clarification.

    A148: Lightning Arrow AE damage does not affect the original target.

    If a 4E Monk/Moon Druid multiclassing was wildshape, do the following things apply?
    1. Unarmoured Defense
    2. Martial Arts & Unarmed Strike damage
    3. Deflect Missiles
    4. Stunning Strike

    Also, because the 4E disciplines that aren't spells don't have any required components, can you still use disciplines such as Water Whip and Fangs of the Fire Snake (and a few others) whilst Wildshaped?

    I am certain that you can use an Unarmed Strike whilst Wildshaped.

    A149:
    1. You can use either the animals calculation or the Monks Unarmored Defense.
    2. If you conduct an unarmed attack, you deal monk damage; if you opt to claw or bite, you do that damage.
    3. Legal, though actually catching the missile may not be possible in some forms.
    4. You can use Ki Wildshaped, and use Stunning Strike.
    5. Bonus, you keep the monk movement speed too!

    (All answers are for 5th ed; if the quandary was truly about 4th, please disregard 8).

    BUT, my MM only says "immune to spells of 6th or lower"; and therefore suggest his immunity would not come into play against such magics. Spells like True Seeing and Detect Magic do not affect, or really even interact, with their 'Targets' directly. Instead, they simply pierce/perceive the magics that are in use on a particular creature, and the normal rules apply.

    Now if the Rakshasa manages to gain access to Nondetection... then you're likely to never known his true natural form.

    Unless, of course, he wants you to.
    Strange, OrcPub says it can't be affected or detected. I'm fully aware that OrcPub is not the Monster Manual though, and that OrcPub is - most likely - incorrect, unless they pull that information from elsewhere.

    Regardless, could you point me to the rule that states it wouldn't be detected by it? Or is it simply a matter of common sense?

    I am glad you asked, because in doing so I did a little deeper digging then just my book and found there is some errata I had forgotten...

    Rakshasa (p. 257).
    Limited magic immunity: the first sentence
    now reads, “The rakshasa can’t be affected or detected by spells
    of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be.”
    So, to clarify, A145: since it says "affected or detected": yes, a Rakshasa's true form would not be revealed if True Seeing is used at 6th.

    A150: Unless something specifically says otherwise, you have to be a legendary creature to get lair actions. The lairs experience adjustments should factored in already for all Adult and Ancient Dragons.

    Q151 When you have extra attack (3) and have Dwarven Thrower, can you thrown 4x? Or you still continue using just one object interact? Because you attack, thrown, weapon come back, thrown again, weapon come back.

    A151
    If I'm reading it right, yes. You can throw it 4 times per Attack action.

    When taking the Blade Mastery Feat, does the +1 to Attack rolls, stack with any extra bonuses? I.e. making a +1 weapon into a +2/+1 weapon?

    A152: No. The spell description specifies that the extra damage is only triggered by willing movement.

    Unless you're asking if you can use the Booming Blade weapon attack to also apply the Pushing Attack maneuver? The answer there is yes, since maneuvers only require weapon attacks (and sometimes bonus actions), they do not specify that you must take the attack action.

    It was more whether the Pushing Attack would trigger the Booming Blade Damage. Ok fair enough thank you for the answer.

    A153: So far as I'm aware time whenever there is a feature which grants a bonus written as +[number] you can add the bonus directly to the relevant statistic (as with the Armored fighting style).

    For clarity however, you are not making the weapon +2/+1. While wielding a blade you have an attack bonus which is calculated as stat bonus + proficiency + 1 (feat) + 1 (weapon enhancement). This has the same effect (your attack bonus is 2 higher), but it isn't because the weapon is adding + 2 to attack.

    So to clarify if my question has a +1 Rapier, I get +1 to Attack rolls and +1 to damage.
    So with the Feat then it would make my attack rolls +2?

    Not including other relevant modifiers, yes. This is correct.

    There's a thread somewhere that you might be able to find with a search where I talk about being flown by an invisible imp and some of the interesting implications but I won't diver the RAW thread.

    A156 Dungeon Master's Guide introduced a number of Action options which a DM may add as a group or individually into their game.

    One of them is Disarm:
    Quote Originally Posted by DMG, pg. 271

The attacker makes an attack roll contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) check or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If the attacker wins the contest, the attack causes no damage or other ill effect, but the defender drops the item. The attacker has disadvantage on its attack roll if the target is holding the item with two or more hands. The target has advantage on its ability check if it is larger than the attacking creature, or disadvantage if it is smaller.

    Q 158

    If I make a sorcerer 6/paladin 2, I understand that they can only cast paladin spells with their paladin spell slots. Does that include divine smite? Would I be able to cast a third level divine smite using a sorcerer spell slot?

    thanks in advance

    A 157

    it's 2+ sorc/4 (normal order of operations). If it was (2+sorc) /4 it would be written "2 + your sorcerer level, divided by 4" The lack of a comma makes a difference.

    A 158 You don't have separate slots for paladin and for sorcerer. You use the method of calculating your total spell slots from the multiclassing section of the PHB. You can smite with any slots you have.

    Q159 - Armor of Agathys. Does the cold damage dealt to an attacker depend on the amount of damage prevented by the temporary hit points, or is the damage always the static 5 per spell slot level?

    e.g. if I make a melee attack against a warlock with 5th level Armor of Agathys, and I deal 8 damage, does the Armor of Agathys retaliate me with 8 cold damage or 25 cold damage?

    A159: The cold damage is dependent on spell level, not on the amount of damage done to the temporary hit points. The spell is worded as "If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, the creature takes 5 cold damage" with the upcasting text specifying that both the number of hit points and the damage per hit scale with level.

    In your specific example the Armor of Agathys retaliates for 25 cold damage.
