Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A76 Attack is generally a term of art, meaning "make an attack roll as defined." So saves are out. The only exceptions (to my knowledge) are grapples and shoves, which are explicitly called out as attacks.
So anything that requires an attack roll counts, anything that does not involve such a roll, does not count.Dawn of Hope: a 5e setting. http://wiki.admiralbenbo.org

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A67 Those tweets are over three years old and predate the DMG erratum that says the following:
Different game features can affect a target at the same time. But when two or more game features have the same name, only the effects of one of them—the most potent one—apply while the durations of the effects overlap.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q77: Does familiar's invisibility end when a warlock casts touch range spells through it? Like an invisible imp (or sprite) delivering Cure Wounds (or Shocking Grasp).
Q78: Should I have an advantage on attack rolls when invisible familiar delivers a touch range spell like Shocking Grasp or Contagion?Last edited by gnollgnoll; 2018-09-13 at 03:12 AM. Reason: added another question

A77
A familiar does not have advantage normally, so ot depends on the source of invisibility.
'Finally, when you Cast a Spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an Attack roll, you use your Attack modifier for the roll.'
An imp loses its Invisibility when it makes an attack, as does a creature under the effects of the Invisibility spell.
A78
Invisible
An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense. For the purpose of hiding, the creature is heavily obscured. The creature's location can be detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves.
Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage, and the creature's attack rolls have advantage.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q79: Suppose I am incapacitated via Hypnotic Pattern, and thus unable to take actions or reactions. I receive damage, which ends Hypnotic Pattern. Can I now use my reaction to activate the Goliath racial ability Stone's Endurance, which reduces incoming damage? Does it matter that I was unable to take reactions at the moment I received the damage?
Extra-fun bonus question: If I reduce the damage to 0 via Stone's Endurance, does that mean I did not receive damage, meaning that Hypnotic Pattern did not end, meaning that I could not use Stone's Endurance, meaning that I did indeed take the damage, meaning that Hypnotic Pattern did end, meaning that I used Stone's Endurance....thus creating a causal loop that rips a hole in the fabric of space and time?Proclaiming something "objectively" true or false does not excuse you from proving it so.

Q82 does standing up from prone in difficult terrain cost you extra movement?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A82: No.
In the same section that explains prone it also mentions moving while prone (crawling) cost an addition foot of movement (2 feet per one moved) and that doing so in difficult terrain cost an another foot of movement (i.e. 3 feet of move per foot moved). Since they make this distinction, it is clear Standing Up is not considered moving through terrain, and therefore does not cost any extra movement.
Which is good, half your move is already a lot.

Q83
Can a creature summoned with conjure x be charmed by the charm monster spell from XGtE? How does this work? IE Caster 1 casts conjure elemental. Caster 2 (enemy of caster 1) casts charm monster on the elemental.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q84 Do you have to decide to empower before you roll or can you decide after rolling a bunch of 1s and 2s?
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
Q85 I am playing as an Abjurer Wizard character with the Arcane Ward feature. A Wraith monster attacks me with its Life Drain and hits, but the damage dealt doesn't hurt me, just the Arcane Ward. What happens with the Life Drain? Does the health reduction go through the ward and hit me? Does the ward lose maximum hit points? Or is there no loss of maximum hit points, but just damage dealt?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Edit to add a little more clarity:
R85 Your max hitpoints can only be reduced if you actually take damage.
The Wrath's Life Drain forces a Con Save if it damages the Wizard. Damage to the ward does not force a savings throw and the wards max HP cannot be permanently reduced. Only if the Wrath can overcome the Arcane Ward does the Wizard face the threat of permanent* drain.
*Permanent until a long rest.Last edited by Erys; 2018-09-22 at 06:13 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Apologies I assumed it was clear from the wording. If you fail a Con save you reduce your Max HP by the amount of damage taken. If that damage is reduced, such as through the Arcane Ward class feature, or the Bladesingers Song of Defense, then failing the Con Save means you take a reduced amount of damage. If that damage is reduced to 0, then failing the Con Save reduces the amount of HP reduction to 0.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
After.
- I've clarified that bonus action abilities (not just Shield Master) mean it when they say you must do X to do Y. Ignore the old ruling that stated otherwise. #DnD
This is a poorly written rule, however, and reliant on Tweets like these to back that up. Please check with DM before.
