Re: Simple RAW 3
A9:[expanding]MM page 11 says, under Ammunition, that a monster carries enough ammunition to make its ranged attacks. You can assume that a monster had 2d4 pieces of ammunition for a thrown weapon attack, and 2d10 pieces of ammunition for a projectile weapon like a bow or crossbow.

Q28
Paladin Find Steed allows you to choose the type of the steed (celestial, fey, or fiend). When applying it
1) Does it replace the type Beast or does it add to it? Meaning it would be Beast and Celestial (or fey or fiend)
2) Does it give the type abilities? So if fey are immune to charm, is it immune to charm? Does it detect as fey (Divine sense)?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A28: The mount is a celestial, fey, or fiend; not a beast. The spirit takes the form of a horse* and for all intents and purposes is that animal... the only exceptions are: it is smarter with an Int of 6, can understand you verbally, and can communicate telepathically. The mount will be detected with abilities like Divine Sense.
*- More accurately it is a warhorse, pony, camel, elk, or mastiff; your choice.

Q29
The Ranger's 15th Level defensive ability, one of them is called Stand Against the Tide and states that:
"When a hostile creature
misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction
to force that creature to repeat the same attack against
another creature (other than itself) of your choice."
Therefore can I get an enemy to attack another enemy?

Q30: Would it be legal for a level 3 kobold BM ranger to ride a vulture companion? (I say kobold because they are the lightest PC race officially released as of yet)
Also, If it IS legal, what limitations are there?Last edited by Arenabait; 2017-01-25 at 05:21 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q31: In the Revised Ranger UA, the rules for beast companions allow their stats to improve when you get an ASI:
Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your companion’s abilities also improve. Your companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.If you believe that your thoughts originate inside your brain --
do you also believe that television shows are made inside your television set?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 31 No, for exactly the reason you gave. The section on the optional rule for feats says "you" can replace the Ability Score Improvement feature with a feat. It specifically says what you can do for your beast when you gain an ASI. So the RAW is clear.
Even, if your beast was also getting an ASI (using that verbiage) it would still be questionable simply because the feat section says "you", i.e. your character; not his minions.If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

Q33
This pertains to the restrained condition specifically, but it applies in general as well. The condition specifically states that restrained creatures have disadvantage to Dexterity saving throws. Do they also have disadvantage to Dexterity ability checks?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 34 Yes, only once. To get two attacks, you have to take the attack action but you are casting a spell with your action. That spell then grants you only one attack.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q35: Swarm of Ravens have <..reach 5 ft., one target in the swarm's space..> So does it have reach and can attack near area or it must occupy target's space like over swarms?
Not very clear point, as for me. Should it be read like "reach 5 ft., one target or one target in the swarm's space"?
MM Errata says nothing to this, but they refined other details about swarms so they definitely can't miss it.Lisping and bad memory - what kills most aged wizards.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A35: Almost certainly a typo on the reach entry of the raven swarm. All other swarms, including flying swarms like bats, have a reach of 0. Best to play it like that.
A36: Including auditory effects does not mean it includes auditory cancelling effects.
Things can pass through the illusion unimpeded, including sound.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q37 Can you make a bonus melee attack with a weapon in your main hand (ie. an attack without adding Ability Bonus to Damage)? Let's say a Cleric use his Action to cast Bless and then wants to make an attack with his bonus action, but he is only carrying a weapon in his main hand. Would that be possible? I realise it's called off-hand attack, not bonus attack, but it seems strange to me if you can't attack if you hold your hammer in one hand, but if you switch hands, then you can actually attack.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A37: Nope.
Even if you switched hands it wouldn't work.
The above circumstance actually violates several pre-reqs for attacking with a bonus action via 'two weapon fighting'. You actually have to hold two weapons, both have to have the 'light' property, and you have to use the attack action with your action to get the bonus action attack.Last edited by Erys; 2017-01-30 at 07:41 PM.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q 38 Can you do something with your Mage Hand on the same turn that you cast it or do you have to summon it and wait until your next turn to actually use it?

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q39 Because elves are 'semiconscious' in trance (PHB23) does this mean that during trance an elf is never 'unconscious' (PHB292)?
Q40 Does this in turn mean that an elf with 15 levels of barbarian can use Persistent Rage to continue to rage while in trance? (PHB49)
Q41 Going by the text of Blindsight (MM8), it is heavily implied that an intellect devourer (MM191) is naturally blind. Does that mean that Devour Intellect actually never functions because the intellect devourer can never truly 'see' a creature?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A39: No official rule that I am aware of, up to the DM.
A40: Also up to the DM; it is a safe bet to say if you did that you would not be able to 'rest' though.
A41: I don't really understand what you mean by 'never functions'; Blindsight is a type of sense that it uses to "see" with.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A40. Theoretically, maybe. Whether or not a DM allows this is questionable, but RAW would not necessarily indicate it is not possible. That said, it is rather unimportant, since Persistent Rage only says "...your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall Unconscious or if you choose to end it." This does nothing to change the 1 minute duration of a rage. It just stops it from ending prematurely due to you not attacking or being attacked.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q42 (More a curiosity, really.)
The PHB and DMG have quite a lot "...until you take a short rest or a long rest". Is there anything that is triggered by a short rest, but not a long rest, where the long rest effect doesn't render the short rest effect moot (e.g. getting one spell slot back on a short rest, but all of them back on a long rest).
Related (call it Q42a): is there any reason to use the longer phrasing, over "...until you take a rest", or a note saying that anything that happens on a short rest can also happen on a long rest?Last edited by Capt Spanner; 2017-02-01 at 09:39 AM. Reason: (I forgot a close parenthesis.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 43 You have to look at the description of that ability. Specific over-rides general so if it doesn't specifically say otherwise, it takes the same action or time as the spell normally takes.
Many abilities say "Can cast this spell without material components" which means everything else applies--verbal components, somatic components, and takes the same action or time to cast as the spell says in its description.Last edited by Dalebert; 2017-02-02 at 12:16 AM.
