Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q292 sorry but you've confused me. I'll ask again. Does the Sleep spell work on a wraith?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Can a Kensei monk use the versatile property on a weapon's (assume the 1d8 spear) and make an unarmed strike?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
I would add that:
- Making an unarmed strike does not require a free hand, as it can be a kick or a head-butt.
- Switching between holding a weapon with one or two hands shouldn't hurt your action economy anyway.
- The greatclub and the longbow can be selected as kensei weapons, and henceforth count as monk weapons despite being two-handed. This allows you to take the Attack action with them and make an unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q 294: As a DM, is a Glyph of Warding containing a 9th level spell cleric spell an appropriate form for a Divine Intervention to take? I am unclear if it falls in like with 'the effect of any cleric spell' as suggested by the PHB.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
This came up in our game tonight: How many mage hands can a single user have on at once? From the description it seems the only limiter is the 1 minute duration, so we figured it was 10 mage hands.

Q296
From Dispel Magic: "For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability."
Does this ability check use your proficiency bonus?Emongnome

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q297
Cloud of Daggers deals damage to enemies “when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there.”
Just to be clear, if I cast this spell, they take damage right away because their now in the spells area, then they again take damage upon their turn beginning, correct? It triggers twice before they really get to act?
Does it also double trigger like this when a foe is forced into the area?Last edited by Koury; 2019-05-23 at 12:00 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A297: No, they do not take damage when you cast the spell. In that case they've not entered the AoE nor have they started their turn within the AoE. They do take damage if they're forced into the AoE any time after the spell is cast.
EDIT: Note the wording, "...for the first time on a turn...". That means that if you force them into the AoE, then drag them back out and force them into it again they only take the damage once.Last edited by E’Tallitnics; 2019-05-23 at 12:09 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R297
So then there is no RAW answer, it seems? I looked at a few other Wall and Cloud spells and they all act slightly differently. The best I can find supporting no initial damage is Wall of Fire specifically includes an initial damage clause. On the other hand, Stinking Cloud only triggers when they start their turn in the area.
I still believe both readings are valid, RAW. I’m open to more evidence or any actual rules. As far as abuse, do we just mean “20 damage is a lot” or is there something actually abusable enabled by allowing initial damage?I will NOT succumb to evil!...Unless she's cute._____________

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
For further evidence, Sage Advice has this to say:
"Our design intent for such spells is this: a creature enters the area of effect when the creature passes into it. Creating the area of effect on the creature or moving it onto the creature doesn't count. If the creature is still in the area at the start of its turn, it is subjected to the area’s effect. [...]
In summary, a spell like moonbeam affects a creature when the creature passes into the spell’s area of effect and when the creature starts its turn there. You’re essentially creating a hazard on the battlefield.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R297: When talking about spells it's important to remember that they're always an exception to the general rules. The spell description tells you exactly how the spell works. If the spell has any relation to another spell, and/or game feature and/or game mechanic (etc.) it'll tell you how they interact.
So each spell description is literally the RAW for that spell.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Agreed, and this question mostly centered around “does an AoE appearing on space you occupy count as you “entering” that area?” I believe the RAI is pretty clear.
That said, I asked in a RAW thread, hoping for clarification. It seems there is none, so I’ve spoken with my players, explained the issue and we came to a solution together (We went with RAI, for what it’s worth).
I appreciate everyone’s efforts and time here.Last edited by Koury; 2019-05-23 at 08:41 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
The rules can't define every term used in the rules, because then you'd need to define the terms used in the definitions. At some point, you have to go by what the words ordinarily mean. And "enter" does not ordinarily mean "stay in the same place while something happens there".

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
It doesn’t have to mean anything more than normal for the question to be valid. If you are in an empty pool that is magically filled with water, most people would say yes when asked if you entered the water.
If someone is placed in the AoE through pretty much any other means it would trigger, and excluding on-cast is unintuitive. If you spend half a percent of half a second in the area you take damage at all other times. That’s likely why this very question has been asked enough that the Sage had to clarify the RAI.I will NOT succumb to evil!...Unless she's cute._____________

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Re: Q 297 I respectfully suggest that this topic is probably worthy of its own thread. It's no longer simple RAW.
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 for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A298 No. The Monster Manual description of Truesight reads:
A creature with truesight can, out to a specific range, see in normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws against them, and perceives the original form of a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic. Furthermore, the creature can see into the Ethereal Plane.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q299. Is the Mind Flayer’s Mind Blast blocked by total cover? Per the “Areas of Effect” rules in the PHB, it clearly would be blocked if it was a spell, but I cannot find text indicating whether non-spell abilities follow the same rules.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q300
If eldrich knights a and b both use weapon bond to bond to the same weapon, which a is currently wielding, can eldrich knight b use a bonus action to teleport it into his hand? I’m mostly curious how this interacts with the portion of the weapon bond feature that prevents A from being disarmed while not incapacitated.
