Re: Simple RAW 3
A422: Yes and No.
Your #1 example was a common tactic at my table when I ran SKT. They would also do the same with fireball, but about 10' higher to blast the giants while missing the 'small folk'. Lots of ankles were the 'cause of death' in that campaign….
Your #2 example is unclear. If you're referring to casting it on Drow while they're outside so they're not in direct sunlight you accomplish nothing because they're now in heavy obscurement and still at disadvantage.Last edited by E’Tallitnics; 2018-01-10 at 05:48 PM. Reason: Clarification

Re: Simple RAW 3
The animated cloak is from Tomb of beasts. It has a magical shadow entanglement that restrains a person. So the second part wouldn't apply to it because one that's magical and If i recall the spell says non magical but even so the effect makes there speed 0 so they cant spend 5 ft of movement. My question was based on the first part. The spell reads that an effect cannot cause them to be under the effects of restrained and other such things. But he was already under t he effects of the cloak. does the spell freedom of movement dispel the restrained or must it be on the person before such an effect takes place?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 443: No, as long as it’s cast before they enter their rage. This is because the spell doesn’t require concentration.
A 444: No. if the game gives you something that calculates your AC it doesn’t stack with something else that calculates your AC. Since they both to so you pick the one you want to use.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q446 I grappled a prone creature. On the enemy's turn, he attacks me. Then on my next turn I cast sanctuary. On the creature's turn, it tries to break grapple. Do I lose sanctuary?

Re: Simple RAW 3
Situation:
2 combatants square off in front of each other ready to fight, neither has a weapon drawn yet.
Initiative is rolled and combatant "A" goes first.
On his initiative combatant "A" wants to reach over and take his opponent's weapon from its sheath.
Q447
What does he roll to do it?
Athletics because it is in combat so it is considered a disarm, even though the opponent is not holding the weapon?
Slight of Hand because it is considered trying to steal the weapon, even though it is right in front of them?
No roll because it is in combat and it is an item not being held it is "interact with an object" like drawing a weapon, which does not specify it has to be on your body?
None of those choice and something completely different?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A446: I feel shoving a person while still having them grappled is a bit... off. Seems, logically, you would be pushing them away from yourself- thus breaking the grapple and allowing Sanctuary to work as intended.
While not exactly a direct Sage reference, this is close to what I am saying.
A447: No RAW for such a scenario exist to my knowledge, so it is entirely up to each individual DM.
Some will use some variation of the Contest rules (174) like a sleight of hand to quickly grab it verse an athletics/acrobatics/dex check to avoid. Others will simply not allow it because combat has started and there is a reasonable expectation that if you know you are about to fight someone- you won't stand in a way that leave your weapon in their reach to begin with.

Re: Simple RAW 3
It actually came up in a game 2 weeks ago.
I was playing a rogue and I was trying to sneak up on an enemy that I knew was a high elf rogue who used Booming Blade a lot, I was going to take his weapon before the fight started so he would essentially be screwed.
Problem was that evidently he had a 19 passive perception somehow...
He spotted me when I got 5 feet away and we rolled initiative, which I won easily so I was just like, "Well, he still has not drawn his weapon so I take it anyway as my action."
The DM just looked at me and said, "Ummmm ok, let's call it there and I will see how that is going to work."

Re: Simple RAW 3
I apologize for misunderstanding you on "used up". But I'm going to continue to disagree here. The description of the net does not say that only one creature can be restrained by a net; it merely describes what a creature so restrained can do. "A" creature because each creature is an individual taking individual actions. (In other words, since "a creature" is the subject of the sentence, not the object, I don't see any implication that only a single creature can be restrained by a single net.)
Now, of course, we know that ranged weapons can only attack one creature at a time, but there may be some class feature or feat or spell somewhere that allows a single ranged attack against multiple targets.
Well, there might be; you may have already used all of your movement, or your one free object interaction. And it's undefined whether you can simply pick up a net that hit its target.
But I'm still concerned about the specific wording of the feature. It says "when" you make a weapon attack, you can attack a different creature with the same weapon. It's not clear to me whether the second attack has to be taken immediately, or if it works like Extra Attack and the second attack can be taken after doing something else. Horde Breaker procs when you attack; Extra Attack procs when you take the Attack action. The difference in wording feels like the interpretation might be different too.
So, yes, if Horde Breaker works like Extra Attack, then it could be used with a thrown weapon -- if you manage to pick it up.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Let me clarify the question. I grappled a prone creature. On the enemy's turn, he attacks me. Then on my next turn I cast sanctuary. On the creature's turn, it tries to break grapple. Do I lose sanctuary? Obviously, you would want to do this all in 1 turn, but I wanted to know if maintaining grapple matters.
I don't want to get into shoves that make a creature prone.

Re: Simple RAW 3
I had an idea for a nature-flavoured Monk, probably a Variant Human or Tortle, that takes Magic Initiate (Druid) or does a 1-level dip for Shillelagh and Magic Stone. Which leads me to a few questions...
Q448a Does a pebble enchanted with the Magic Stone cantrip count as a ranged weapon when thrown, for the purpose of features such as Sneak Attack?
Q448b Does an ordinary pebble (or any improvised weapon, which an ordinary pebble presumably is) count as a ranged weapon when thrown, for the purpose of features such as Sneak Attack?
Q448c If we were to treat the pebbles as weapons/improvised weapons, do they interfere with Martial Arts because they are technically not categorised as Monk weapons?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A448a No you can't sneak attack with them because it is a ranged spell attack. You can't sneak attack with a spell attack, even if it is from an actual weapon.
A448b No, there are no improvised ranged weapons. Only melee ones and ones with the thrown property. Despite the thrown property thrown weapons are not considered ranged. This is the same reason a rogue can not sneak attack with a thrown spear.
A448c Monks weapons must me simple, an improvised weapon does not count.

Q449 After casting 'Sanctuary' , can you cast 'True Strike' without breaking Sanctuary?
Relevant text:True strike "Your magic grants you a brief insight" Sanctuary "If the warded creature makes an attack or casts a spell that affects an enemy creature , this spell ends."

Q450 Is there anything that prevents a druid from staying in Wild Shape during a rest?
The specific situation I have in mind is turning into something with blindsight so as to better keep watch.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 450 (cont) Short rest is no problem. Long rest is likely to be a problem since going unconscious (e.g. falling asleep) ends wild shape. If you have a way not to sleep, you have a loophole. Not sure about elf trance but I don't think you're considered unconscious.
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.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A.451: No. Grim Harvest requires that you kill the creature with your spells. Your example only satisfies one of those two conditions: Your Spell. The zombie is the one that kills the creature.
Think of it this way: If you use Animate Dead to raise a zombie (your spells) you wouldn't get the Grim Harvest each time that zombie killed a creature would you?Last edited by E’Tallitnics; 2018-01-18 at 04:35 PM. Reason: Formatting

Re: Simple RAW 3
The Polymorph spell states "The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast."
Consider the situation where a spellcaster PC Druid with the warcaster feat polymorphs themselves into a Giant Ape.
Q 453 What items are specifically included in Game Statistics?
Q 454 Do game statistics include abilities from classes or does a polymorphed PC retain these?
If they do lose them then would not the spell caster lose the Spell casting class ability and the polymorphed caster would instantly revert to their normal form. ( I accept that the Polymorph spell separately and specifically prohibits speech, spellcasting, and actions with hands or speech)
Q 455 Do game statistics include feats? If the Polymorphed Giant Ape had to make a concentration check after sustaining damage would it roll with advantage because of the warcaster feat?

Re: Simple RAW 3
A 452 The Unseen Servant has a strength of 2 so as per the Lifting and carrying rules (pg 176 PHB) it has a carrying capacity of 30lbs and can Push, Drag or Lift 60lbs.
Yes - It could push the floor for up to 60lbs of force. This could trigger a pressure place depending on the sensitivity of the pressure plate.
Yes - It can pull open a door or chest (providing that the door would open with 30lbs of force or less. It can push open a door of 60lbs or less.

Re: Simple RAW 3
To clarify the question
1) Creature A successfully grapples Creature B who is prone
2) Creature B attacks Creature A
3) Creature A casts sanctuary (I presume targeting creature A)
4) Creature B tries to break the grapple and Creature A tries to maintain the Grapple.
Does Creature A lose the Sanctuary spell because it tries to maintain the Grapple with Creature B?
A 446 - No. Creature A is engaging in an opposed Ability Score contest and not attacking Creature B. This does not trigger the end of spell conditions for Sanctuary.
Note: If creature B escapes the grapple and Creature A tries to re-initiate a Grapple with Creature B then this would break the sanctuary spell as Grappling is begun by using the Attack Action and making a special melee attack. See pg 195 PHB under Grappling.

Re: Simple RAW 3
A456: By RAW, once a warlock is 7th level or higher and his available spells slots are above 3rd, he is no longer able to gain a benefit from a Pearl of Power.
That said, a nice DM could let you get a 3rd lvl spell slot back; which I think is reasonable and certainly not game breaking.

Re: Simple RAW 3
Q458: Does a Giant Spider's web restrain swarms (that are not spiders)?
SpoilerWeb: Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is Restrained by webbing. As an action, the Restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).
All swarms have Condition Immunity "Restrained" however only swarms of spiders "ignores Movement restrictions caused by webbing."
