Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q497 Can temporary increases to ability scores, such as those from ioun stones, satisfy multiclass requirements? (Let's say a fighter with 12 CHA normally and an Ioun Stone of Leadership wants to multiclass to warlock.)

Q498 - Method of getting to the physically smallest size - Race/Class/Feat/Spell/Item - Permanent or at minimum 1hr/day. Bonus question for <1hr/day use but that is secondary and not really needed.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A498 Theoretically, as small as you want. One way to go about this would be to start as 24+epsilon inches tall. The Wild Magic table sometimes (see 35-36 on the table) decreases your height by an odd number of inches (this happens around 1 in 2000 non-cantrips). With lucky enough rolls, you could by chance end up epsilon inches tall for any arbitrarily small epsilon. This is permanent (note that a Remove Curse cannot remove this like it can the blue-skin syndrome).

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
R498 - The problem with relying on the wild magic is it's both an increase and decrease. So the net sum should be no gain/loss in size. Since it also defines a d10 to be rolled it's not subjected to any modifications or any other defined abilities that can be modified.
Any other options?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q499:
MC Caster - spell slots and spells known
If you MC Cleric and/or Druid, because these classes prep spells every day ("The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots"), if you have a 3rd lvl spell slot, then you can prep a 3rd lvl spell from those classes, so a cleric 2/druid 3 can prep 3rd lvl cleric and druid spells, right?
So even a 1 lvl cleric dip could yield spiritual weapon and spirit guardians to a Druid X or other full caster, right?

Lose as often as you gain does not mean gain on average over time.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Do the math Chronos. Add up all of the negatives (1+3+5+7+9=25) and the positives (2+4+6+8+10=30). They're not even. Over many MANY rolls, you get more height than you lose.
Group them together into pairs if that makes more sense
(-1 + 2 = 1)
(-3 + 4 = 1)
...
etc.
On average, you'll gain 1 inch per "roll" in the long term. Of course you can get totally screwed (that's how probability works), but on average, long term, you gain.

Q499 If an echo knight sends its echo into magical darkness and uses it to attack a visible enemy outside of the darkness, is the attack made with advantage for being unseen?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q500 Two party members each have a different class feature that state "has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn." If a monster has multiple attacks and attacks both of them, does it still suffer disadvantage?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A500. Yes. If say, one PC is a Fighter who's used Goading Attack and another PC is a Paladin who's cast Compelled Duel, then an attack roll against the fighter has disadvantage because it's an attack against a target other than the paladin, and an attack roll against the paladin had disadvantage because it's an attack against a target other than the fighter.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A502 YES! Sneak attack is allowed "once per turn" which means if you use your reaction to make an attack on someone else's turn, as long as you satisfy the requirements for a sneak attack, you get to sneak attack again!
Edit: Note the difference is because they are allowed per "turn" and not per "round". Other abilities follow similar but specify YOUR turn. The Clerics that get Divine Strike at level 8 are allowed that extra d8 once per turn as well for example but it also says it's on "your turn" not just "once per turn"Last edited by Galithar; 2020-04-02 at 11:40 PM.

A 503
The variant familiar options in the books are not from the Find Familiar spell (except the ones that explicitly say they are an option for the spell The Quasit variant does not). They are options geared towards NPCs and available to players at DM discretion. If you DO get one of those variant types you still have to find and make a deal with the actual creature, not a spirit summoned by the spell. Whether your DM allows you to get the variant or not, it still wouldn't be coming from your Pact and Spell, but from a deal made with the creature, who can choose to leave at any time.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q505:
When attacking with ADV from HIDE or HELP, if you have multi-attack you only benefit from ADV on the first attack right? (because your first attack gives away your position removing your surprise or the HELP distraction is over)
But what if your attack is to cast a spell like Eldritch Blast that sends multiple beams simultaneously?
If you are a Gloomstalker in the darkness and are therefore invisible, do you only get ADV on your first attack only or both because you remain unseen (invisible)?

Q506
If I use a spell focus instead of the material components of a spell, can I still use the same hand holding the focus to perform somatic components?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A506 - You're 100% fine. P.203 in the PHB:
A character can use a component pouch or a spellcasting focus (found in chapter 5) in place of the components specified for a spell.
...
A spellcaster must have a hand free to access these components, but it can be the same hand that he or she uses to perform somatic components.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A505: From the Help action section of the PHB on page 192:
Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you. You feint, distract the target, or in some other way team up to make your ally's attack more effective. If your ally attacks the target before your next turn, the first attack roll is made with advantage.
If you are a Gloomstalker in the darkness and are therefore invisible, do you only get ADV on your first attack only or both because you remain unseen (invisible)?
UMBRAL SIGHT
At 3rd level, you gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 30 feet.
You are also adept at evading creatures that rely on darkvision. While in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see you in that darkness.
A heavily obscured area—such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature in a heavily obscured area effectively suffers from the blinded condition
When you attack a target that you can't see, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. This is true whether you're guessing the target's location or you're targeting a creature you can hear but not see. If the target isn't in the location you targeted, you automatically miss, but the DM typically just says that the attack missed, not whether you guessed the target's location correctly.
When a creature can't see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it.
If you are hidden—both unseen and unheard—when you make an attack, you give away your location when the attack hits or misses.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
A 504
My understanding is that yes, you look just like one of the creatures, and the "resemble" part is there to clarify that all that changes is the speed and not, say, the attacks or the ability to speak.
However, I cannot refer to definitive text. I guess it's ultimately up to the DM, though I see no reason why a shapechanging effect can't turn you into a generic version of whatever you've transformed into. It's always the individual characteristics that cause trouble, not the general form.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e 4: Smackdown v. RAW
Q506
Sneak attack includes "... and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll."
If the rogue has disadvantage (due to poison condition for example), and also has advantage (hidden for example), and there is an ally w/in 5', then the attack is made as a straight roll.
PHB pg 173 states if a roll has both adv and disadv, "you are considered to have neither, and roll one d20."
So you still get sneak attack damage in the above example, right?
