Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A340 From page 204 of the PHB (under 'Targets'):
Unless a spell has a perceptible effect, a creature might not know it was targeted by a spell at all. An effect like crackling lightning is obvious, but a more subtle effect, such as an attempt to read a creature’s thoughts, typically goes unnoticed, unless a spell says otherwise.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
340 addendum:
That's assuming that you mean before the Hexed creature is subject to any attack from the caster. Taking extra necrotic damage, in addition to the force or slashing or whatever damage that the attack would normally deal, should count as "perceptible".Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q341 would a double proficiency bonus be applied to passive ability checks? What about the bonus from a stone of good luck?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A341 yes to both. Your passive score is 10+your normal bonus, which includes double proficiency and magic item bonuses.
As evidence, there are lots of monsters whose listed passive perception is 10+ their perception score, which includes a number equal to twice the appropriate proficiency for that CR.Last edited by PhoenixPhyre; 2019-07-14 at 02:18 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A339
No.
Detect magic would detect that there's magic (it does so due to how, RAW, it doesn't exclude the caster from the area... ... ...) but since every part of the area of effect of a spell that overlaps the area of an antimagic field is negated, the fact that detect magic only shows the presence of magic on creatures or items (and not areas) and so on... you would have no "visual" indication nor you would get any information in regards to the school.
Edit: for info, next question isQ242Q342
Yep, totally messed up.Last edited by ThePolarBear; 2019-07-15 at 04:57 AM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A342
PHB page 198 (under Mounting and Dismounting):If an effect moves your mount against its will while you're on it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall off the mount, landing prone in a space within 5 feet of it. If you're knocked prone while mounted, you must make the same saving throw.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q 344 : For the purposes of a Rust Monster's ability, does the AC "offered" by their armor include their Dex modifier?
For example, Scale Mail has an AC of "14 + Dex (Max +2)" so would it take 4 hits or 6 to reduce the AC it offers to 10?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A344 While the total AC of the wearer of said armor may be higher than 10, the Armor's provided AC would be reduced to 10 in 4 hits, as at that point the armor's AC would be 10, and the character's AC would include the Dex bonus. I hope that phrasing makes sense!

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 344 Slight technical point--once the AC bonus has been dropped to 0 (AC 10 armor) it's considered destroyed. Until then you're wearing less effective medium armor with a max dex bonus of two. This became relevant for my barbarian wearing a breastplate (AC 14 + 2 dex) that a black pudding was reducing. I thought my AC reverted to 15 (10 +3 con + 2 dex) but since I was technically still wearing armor, I wasn't getting my unarmored defense UNTIL it was completely destroyed after 4 hits so my AC kept dropping each round making it easier for the black pudding to hit me. Then my AC suddenly jumped up to 15 due to unarmored defense.
If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q.345: I'm creating a Divine Soul sorcerer.
I have the Distant Spell metamagic, which says, "When you cast a spell that has a RANGE of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the RANGE of the spell".
The spell spirit guardians, under the 'Range' entry, says, "Range: Self (15-foot radius)".
So, does Distant Spell double the radius to 30-foot (on the grounds that the radius is mentioned in the entry for 'range', which makes it able to be affected by Distant Spell), OR does Distant Spell not apply at all (on the grounds that the range is 'Self')?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 345. The range to the target (Self) is always 0 and twice 0 is still 0. No affect. The radius of spells is unchanged by the Distant Spell metamagic. Yah, they really should have found a different way to write those burst/emanation/cone spells. I'm partial to 4e's Burst/Blast/Cone notation myself.
Note that with that particular spell, the radius is called out in the text as well and not designated a range:
You call forth spirits to protect you. They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration. If you are good or neutral, their spectral form appears angelic or fey (your choice). If you are evil, they appear fiendish.Last edited by PhoenixPhyre; 2019-07-21 at 05:19 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 347 I honestly don't think this is a simple one. Be prepared to make a new thread. That said, by my reading of the life cleric ability, the answer is "no". It would arguably apply if you allow the life cleric to administer the berry, i.e. hand feed it. By RAW, they have to eat it themselves so the life cleric is not healing them with a spell. He's providing a means for them to heal themselves.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R347
Sage Advice says "Yes", but this also would imply that the level 6 Life Cleric feature would also heal the Life Cleric whenever someone ate one of the Goodberries.
RAW, Dalebert is right. The spell conjures something, not heals someone. The healing is a side effect of the conjured item when it's eaten, but the casting itself doesn't actually heal anything (where something like Cure Wounds/Healing Word does). To compound on this fact, the Life Cleric features state "When you cast a spell", and no healing is done at the time of casting.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A:348 Generally no, but not entirely.
It takes your Action to look through your familiars eyes, and you can do so until the start of your next turn.
So any spell that requires an Action to cast is not available; BUT, there is wiggle room for a Bonus Action Spell to be used, like Misty Step, though.
Also, if you have the Metamagic Quicken (or similar ability) you could pull off a Bonus Action offensive ranged Spell Attack npnp.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A349a: Detect magic will reveal that you have magic affecting you, and will reveal the school(s) including that of contingency. It does not give specifics--that's what identify is for.
A349b: yes. It checks against each and every spell active on the creature. Contingency is a spell active on the creature. Thus, it can and will dispel that (modulo the check, of course).Dawn of Hope: a 5e setting. http://wiki.admiralbenbo.org

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q351: The Archivist (artificer subclass) can manifest a mind as a bonus action at any point within 60’. It can also cause the mind to move 30’ per turn as a bonus action and dismiss it as a bonus action (it also disappears if it gets more than 300’ away). Can the archivist remanifest it in a different location within 60’ of them without first dismissing it (to get around the 30’ movement limit)?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q352:
Character A is approaching Character B. Character B hides in a bush and rolls Stealth(20). Character A, in responce, rolls Perception(15). Is Character B now completelly invisible for character A? Can Character A in any way detect character B? How, mechanically?
I'm interested in "the status" of B vs. all creatures, which have failed their Perception vs B's Stealth. Are all creatures deemed to have Blinded status vs. B? Or do other creatures know the square, B is in, but have only disatvantage for attacks vs. B?
thanks

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 352:
Creatures who fail their perception check against B do not perceive B, and therefore do not know he's there. There are very few situations where such a creature would even attempt to attack or otherwise affect B, so the question of disadvantage on those attacks is moot. In the rare case that they do have reason to suspect B's presence without perceiving it (for instance, they have met the party before, and knows that the people they do perceive are usually in the company of a stealthy rogue), they might attempt to guess various likely hiding places and attack them, but those are pure guesses, and would still involve disadvantage even if they did guess correctly.
The way, mechanically, for creatures to detect B is to roll Perception checks, and that's already failed. They might have more chances to do so, depending on subsequent actions and events.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
