Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q329 Do familiars count as "another enemy of the target" for the purposes of granting a rogue's sneak attack? Would it also be true if the familiar was mounted on the rogue?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A329: I think both parts of your question are going to be up to the DM at your table.
A familiar is an extension of their master, and therefore are not to be considered a default "enemy" of whomever the Rogue is currently attacking. Generally speaking they probably are and SA will work, but RAW doesn't say one way or another so "ask your dm"...
Pro Tip: Before asking your DM if having the Rogue be a mount for the familiar so there's always "another enemy within 5 feet" so SA will always process be sure and wear plate mail.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 329: RAW is yes. It's an allied creature and thus an opponent of your foe. It doesn't have to be attacking. The fact it can assist an ally (whether it does or not) should remove any ambiguity. Your DM always had final say as has been pointed out but that is the RAW and I've yet to see a DM rule differently.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q330a The spell Holy Weapon from Xanathar's Guide specifies as its target "a weapon you can touch". Is this weapon required to be one that you wield, or can it be any weapon wielded by any combatant you have access to?
Q330b As a followup, the second paragraph of Holy Weapon states that "As a bonus action on your turn, you can dismiss this spell and cause the weapon to emit a burst of radiance. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw..." Does this 30-foot range surrounding you apply regardless of whether you bear the holy weapon, or does it appear from the weapon's location if it's held by another combatant?Last edited by RedzoneX; 2019-07-01 at 05:22 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A330a: Yes, the spell can be cast on a weapon you are not wielding.
A330b: For now, RAW, yes.. There is a typo that states that YOU are the source of the burst, but the burst is always supposed to originate from the weapon. While RAW, YOU are the source of the burst, it is expected to be fixed in a future errata to explicitly state that the burst comes from the weapon: https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/...21831517650944Last edited by Man_Over_Game; 2019-07-02 at 10:15 AM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q331
For spell area of effects, a point of origin is frequently referenced. I have read some say that the PoO to be an intersection only (when using a grid). I couldn’t find this in the PHB, XGtE, or the Sage Advice.
What is the rule here? Center of a grid square, corner, any of the above?Emongnome

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A331 There's a short blurb on this in XGtE P.86
Choose an intersection of squares as the point of origin of an area of effect, then follow the rules for that kind of area as normal (see the "Areas of Effect" section in chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook). If an area of effect is circular and covers at least half a square, it affects that square.
Beware: sometimes the origin is the TARGET, such as Ice Knife, which if in the "Center" of a square may not actually affect as many squares as you may expect, due to how circles and squares areas interact. Hint: it hits the square the target is in, and NOTHING else because of how circles and squares interact, and the 5ft range. But it WILL hit with the template method, and (maybe) the token method, all mentioned in XGtE.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q332 - Does the feat flames of phlegethos allow you to reroll the ones you roll on the d4 retaliation it gives you?
Flames of Phlegethos - When you roll fire damage for a spell you cast, you can reroll any roll of 1 on the fire damage dice, but you must use the new roll, even if it is another 1. Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can cause flames to wreathe you until the end of your next turn...While the flames are present, any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage.
Dragon's Breath - Casting time 1 bonus action...Until the spell ends, the target can use an action to exhale energy of the chosen type in a 15' cone.If it's not on the internet, it doesn't exist. However, just because it is on the internet, doesn't mean that it DOES exists.
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, where did you start yours?
Characters started in the middle of a prison break (their own, of course). The paladin of the group was merely riding his horse nearby as a number of dirty vagrants asked him for help.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A331 The rules, that you can find in the DMG starting from page 249 under the headers "Adjudicating Areas of Effect" for generic non-grid adjudication aid and under "Using miniatures" for grid-play, call, for grids specifically, that targeting of the PoO is to be made at the intersection between squares or hexes. Essentially, the corner.
This however is just one of the possible ways to adjudicate and other material expands on this. Xanathar references the DMG rule and provides different ways to adjudicate the situations (starting from page 86). Specific spells might call for different rules althogether (like, for example, spells that emit from a creature.)

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q334.
Check me on this hypothetical situation. I have the Mobile feat. I am mounted and controlling the mount. My mount moves up to an enemy. I attack. My mount takes the Dodge action, and uses remaining movement to move away. This provokes an Attack of Opportunity. By PHB 198, the AoO should be able to target me or the mount. (Since the mount Dodged, presumably the enemy might want to target me instead of the mount.
My reading of Mobile says that an enemy can still target me; just that I don't provoke AoO's.
Q334A: Does the movement of a mount count for provoking an AoO in this situation, where the rider would not?
Q334B: Can the Mobile rider be targeted by that AoO?
I'm thinking that both answers are yes.Last edited by FrancisBean; 2019-07-04 at 08:58 AM. Reason: Formatting nitpicks

Q335: Do artificers prepare spells each day choosing from the entire artificer spell list (of the appropriate level), or do they have a "spellbook" or some other sublist of known spells to choose from? In other words, do they prepare spells like a cleric, or like a wizard?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q336: If you are forced to cast a spell that requires concentration to maintain (e.g. a Wild Magic Sorcerer that lands on confusion on the Surge table), are you forced to concentrate on that spell, or can you choose not to concentrate and thus end it right away? If so, do you suffer the initial round's worth of effects? Do your allies if you end concentration during your turn, but before theirs?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A337: To the best of my knowledge, dropping concentration is a non-action and can be done at any time (your turn or not).
You/allies suffer the initial effects if and only if it has an effect that occurs when the spell happens (rather than "at the start of a target's turn"). In the case of confusion, you would have to make the save, but since no turns began while the spell was in effect, nothing happens.
However, you would lose concentration on any of your own spells, including the one you were trying to cast if it requires concentration, thus ending them.Dawn of Hope: a 5e setting. http://wiki.admiralbenbo.org

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q336: Spells cast by a wild magic surge don't require concentration and usually the sorcerer has no control over it unless the description says otherwise. Imagine if he could just immediately drop concentration on the Polymorph spell turning him into a sheep. Would make the surge rather pointless.
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
A336 cont.
It's not that the wild surge is doing the concentrating. Concentration just doesn't apply. It lasts however long the spell would normally last. For instance, Confusion lasts a minute but ends on a specific target when it makes it's save. It gets one at the end of each turn.Last edited by Dalebert; 2019-07-08 at 09:01 AM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q337: If the Wish spell is used to duplicate the effects of a spell lower than 8th level (say, Fireball), can the spell be upcast to its 8th level effect, or is it limited to its base spell level's effect?
Q338: I am a Sorcerer who casts Wish to duplicate the effects of a spell that targets one and only one creature (say, Finger of Death). Can I then spend a sufficient number of sorcery points to Twin the resulting spell?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
It's a little more complicated than just that, though. Crawford's rulings aren't binding, however the Sage Advice Compendium may be. And in in the Sage Advice Compendium:
"What level is a spell if you cast it without a spell slot?
Such a spell is cast at its lowest possible level, which is the level that appears near the top of its description. Unless you have a special ability that says otherwise, the only way to increase the level of a spell is to expend a higher-level spell slot when you cast it. (p 13)"
It all depends on what you consider "RAW".

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R337 But "the spell" in this case is wish, which is a 9th level spell. In essence, you're casting wish, and it generates the effect of another spell. It is not actually casting that spell. As a result, the above does not apply IMO. It's reasonable that the duplicated effect is always scaled as if cast from a 9th level slot. It's not mandated by RAW, but it's a very reasonable interpretation that does not contradict anything.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R 337:
Whether it gives you the effect of a 9th-level slot is debatable, but it can certainly give you the effect of an 8th-level slot. A Fireball cast from an 8th-level slot is an 8th-level spell, and its effect is a ball of fire that does 13d6 damage. Wish can duplicate the effects of an 8th-level spell. Therefore, it can give you the effects of an 8th-level Fireball, namely, a ball of fire that does 13d6 damage.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
