@Morrus @mikemearlsDispel Magic is different in Starter Set to PHB. Which is correct? The version of dispel magic in the Player's Handbook and the Basic Rules is the correct one.

Charger Feat & Ready Action: Compatible?
@ETallitnics @mikemearlsMornin’ Gents!
Charger Feat & Ready Action: Compatible?
Thanks for your time! They don't work together, since you can't take a bonus action during someone else's turn.

Does a monk need to spend a ki to cast minor illusion granted by Shadow Art?
@PlaguescarredDoes a monk need to spend a ki to cast minor illusion granted by Shadow Art? No, the monk can cast minor illusion at will.

What was the reasoning of limiting sneak attack to light weapons?
@Miahkai so honest question, what was the reasoning of limiting sneak attack to light weapons, but giving rogues Longsword prof? useful for when you don't have sneak attack

High-lvl druid wildshapes into form with much less HP. Enemy caster casts Sleep on her…
@__BlackHumor__High-lvl druid wildshapes into form with much less HP. Enemy caster casts Sleep on her. Is she unconscious? Still in wildshape? unconscious – basically ignore Druid stats unless it says otherwise

In narrative combat how would you handle cone attacks?
@SlyFlourish @mikemearls @ChrisSSimsSpecifically, in #dnd 5e narrative combat how would you handle cone attacks? I usually wing it. But here's a trick: divide a cone's size by 10 (round up) for the number of targets.

@vikke064 @SlyFlourish @mikemearls @ChrisSSimsSo 2 targets in a 15ft cone? Yes, if you're using the divide-by-10 (round up) trick.

@SlyFlourish @JeremyECrawfordso the Ancient Red can hit nine!? Awesome! To me, it's more interesting, because I can imagine the cone being sprayed around, instead of frozen in space.

Sorcerers don’t have ritual casting, but bards do. Is that deliberate?
@wachunga Just noticed that 5e sorcerers don’t have ritual casting, but bards do. Is that deliberate? I don’t see the logic there. bards rely on study and lore to learn magic, sorcerers are prodigies who don't engage in study.
