Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q334: What happens when a Wraith drains all your HP and bring the meximum to 0 (zero)?
1) You die and nothing can be done.
2) You still roll death saves, but if you pass 3 of them you stay at zero but stable even if you roll a 20.
3) You can get stabilized through usual means.
If the first answer is #3, how can you be raised? For what I know PCs at zero HP don't benefit from rests.
Follow-up Q335: Does casting Aid raises you to 5 hp? THe spell states it raises both current and maximum HP. RAW I'd say it raises you, but I'm definitely not sure.

Q336
Twilight Sanctuary - does the dim light from this feature suppress or override bright light, magical, natural, or otherwise, to maintain a sphere of dim light?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Does it though? I can't find any wording in the description that specifies it as setting anything, just filling, like any light would. In fact, the exact wording is as follows: "The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-foot radius, and is filled with dim light." Which leads me to believe that it is simply dim light and has no effect on bright light, ie it adds but does not subtract from the light in the area.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
DM rulings, obviously, trump all. To me, it says it "fills with" dim light, not that you "radiate" dim light, or anything like that. So it seems to me you're magically creating an area of twilight. It's not a spell effect, and it doesn't "radiate," so it may even ignore cover.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
I definitely read it as setting the light level within the sphere (overriding natural ambient conditions.) Overriding magical light/darkness is going to be a DM call.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
The feature does say it emanates from you, so not sure what the mechanical difference is between radiate and emanate. And despite the fact that you are magically creating an area of dim light I don't see the difference between this and say any other feature that produces magical light, Fire Shield (...shedding bright light...) or Guiding Bolt (...dim light glittering...)for example. And I don't see how it would ignore cover since it never mentions this in the description, thus defaulting back to the general rules, since this feature doesn't specify that it does behave differently than any other light.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
This is why I asked the question because it's seemingly ambiguous to some whereas I find it to be clear due to the absence of any wording giving any specificity to override the general rules of light. With regard to the darkness spell it does override it since it is not a spell and the darkness spell only cares about spells and what level they are cast at, eg

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q337
Surprise (PHB 189) reads as follows "If you're surprised, you can't move or take an action on your first turn of the combat, and you can't take a reaction until that turn ends. A member of a group can be surprised even if the other members aren't."
Does "an action" here apply to bonus actions? Could a surprised rogue still use the bonus action from their Cunning Action feature to Dash, for example?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q338: To your knowledge, is there any guide on how to make homebrew "Otherworldly Patron" features for the Warlock class? I'm talking expanded spell lists and abilities, not Patrons as characters. What the Patron is is already dealt with. but none of the abilities or expanded spell lists I've been able to find seem to fit with it. And looking up "Guide to making your own otherworldly patron" just gives Fluff advice for who / what the patron is and what it's motivations are.
@V Figured as much on all fronts, just thought I'd shoot my shot here for a hassle-free attempt. Thank you regardless!Last edited by Draconi Redfir; 2022-04-22 at 08:57 PM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q 339 Ranged weapons can be used in melee to deal 1d4 damage. Additionally, objects similar to a weapon can be used as said weapon, the example given is a chair leg for a club. This is to ask: can a hand crossbow be used as a club in melee? And if yes, can that qualify as the melee weapon for Booming Blade? (Yes this is jank but I had a mad science idea for a crossbow expert Gith Bladesinger)

A:339
The RAW answer is to ask your DM, since the DM decides what an improvised weapon counts as, if anything.
That being said, I can't imagine any weapons that are less similar than a crossbow and a club. One is a lightweight precision-engineered weapon capable of hurling projectiles dozens of feet, whereas the other is a big, heavy stick. They don't resemble each other at all.
No, Booming Blade requires a melee weapon specifically. A crossbow is still a ranged weapon, you're just making a melee attack with it.The Everyman's Guide to Taking Up Arms - A Guide to Fighters

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
I would argue the answer to the first question is clearer than the second one. From the PHB:
"An object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4 damage (the DM assigns a damage type appropriate to the object). If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee attack, or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown property, it also deals 1d4 damage."
So if the object doesn't resemble a weapon OR it's a ranged weapon, it deals 1d4 damage. A DM can obviously overrule that but that's true of anything.
For the second question, you could argue that the weapon is treated as a melee weapon for the sake of the attack/spell, but I'd lean towards no. That one is more DM dependent imo.Last edited by ender241; 2022-04-25 at 07:15 AM.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
340
Depending on sources it is often referred to as a spear (both DnD and real world sources), but it makes sense for it to not be compatible with PAM as it would be the best weapon for shield and PAM fighting, but it would also be the most realistic weapon for PAM and shield too, so ...

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q 341 The RAI on this is obvious but, in there any rule in 5e stopping you from taking the Skill Expert feat and later gaining expertise in that skill via a class feature, effectively letting you add triple proficiency? Yeah skill expert doesn't let you choose a skill already benefiting from it, but the feature has no such restriction as far as I can tell.
Yeah i know this is some 3.5 level Raw foo, though i don't think this edition has the protection against this that 3.5 did ironically. I mostly just thought the idea of having +23 to a check at level 17 sounds hilarious.Native Sha'ir enthusiast. NO GENIE WARLOCK DOESNT COUNT!

A342: You take damage from the fall itself and from the lava. The latter however is improvised damage.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
A 343 The easiest way to make a free-willed mummy as a player is to cast create undead, like you said, and then simply not reassert control once 24 hours pass. RAW, whoever you raised as a mummy, be it a fellow PC or somebody else, will not have any of their old features, they'd just be using the mummy statblock.
Anything else regarding setting them free earlier, how much they know or remember and whether they actually retain any of their faculties and/or abilities alongside the mummy statblock is entirely in the hands of the DM.Last edited by Chaos Jackal; 2022-05-26 at 02:15 AM.
