Is there any reason why Devils do not try to trick children out of there souls?
Could you Cite the source where you got that information from? (as I cannot find it).
As far as I can tell from the MM there’s no reason a Devil wouldn’t, except for the fact that they’d like to display there power and a child probably wouldn’t be considered to be hard to trick and because of that possible (speculating here) wouldn’t be worth the devil’s time.
How do you calculate movement with effects that double your movement that’re coming from multiple sources. Boots of Speed, Haste, Feline Agility, etc …
I found a post on stackexchange that talks about it and calculates the fastest character (which is pretty ridiculous). I think your answer is in that post. It stacks doing 30x2x2x2.

I’ve seen this post, and it asks more questions than it answers.
This was also asked previously, but Mike Mearls gave an answer like he wasn’t 100% sure at the time he responded.

From that same line of questioning Jeremy mentions “the text of the game features.” Proficiency bonuses are static and either double, or triple. Spell effects don’t double in efficiency when overlapped. This makes me feel like “double your movement” is applied once, ever, to the base movement of the creature. I was hoping for confirmation on this, and most sources don’t even get the math correct.
Gotcha. I play a Tabaxi, so I’d be interested to see what other people think on this one.
I had a player ask if their movement would be ((BASE * 2) * 2) *2, or if their movement would simply be BASE * 2. I submitted the question to Jeremy, so hopefully some light can be shed further on this. https://twitter.com/RadicalEthics/status/854405209006755841

This answers nothing, more hearsay. You’re not helping.
That’s not hearsay. Hearsay is when someone reports what someone else told them about events that other party witnessed. The link shows the math on what the actual fastest character build is (compared to the one that stackexchange uses).
The only rule on stacking is from the 2016 DMG Errata which states that “When two or more game features have the same name, only the effects of one of them—the most potent one—apply”. No other rule stops the stacking of addition and multiplication. Prior editions had a X2X2=X3 rule, but no such rule exists in this edition. Therefore, normal math applies and X2X2=X4.
You don’t read threads, do you? I’d rather go with Mike’s judgement of “No.”
Wise Zoltar,
A question about opportunity attacks and the spell sanctuary. Consider the following scenario:
Tordek, Jorzan, and a goblin are within 5′ of each other having a merry melee. Jorzan casts sanctuary and then moves out of the goblin’s reach (not disengaging), provoking an opportunity attack. The goblin fails its saving throw imposed by sanctuary, so cannot attack Jorzan. Can it redirect the attack to Tordek?
As I read it, nothing in the sanctuary spell prohibits this: the goblin can’t attack Jorzan, so it can choose to attack Tordek. A fellow DM argues that as Tordek is not a valid target for the opportunity attack, the goblin can no more attack Tordek than it could attack a PC who was beyond its reach or otherwise an invalid target.
What do you think?
I’m not Zoltar but i’ll give it a try.
when looking at RAW there’s 2 ways I would interpret it. First of all an attack of opportunity does not target a creature. it allows you to make an attack against a provoking creature. If you look at it like that, then technically sanctuary wouldn’t trigger and the rest is a moot point.
The 2nd way I could look at it is to say that since attack of opportunity allows an attack against a provoking creature, the attack of opportunity cannot happen on Tordek (assuming Jorzan casted sanctuary on itself) as it’s not a valid target for an opportunity attack. And the spell specifies that it must choose a “new target” or lose the attack.
So I would agree with your fellow DM.
hi,some simple question on minor conjuration. can I create rolled rope up to fill the 3ftx3ft cube and then unroll it? Can I create complete written books?Can i replicate a key after seeing it or i need any check to remember perfectly the shape?
Epic Ovan
here are some answers to your question
https://www.sageadvice.eu/search_gcse/?q=minor%20conjuration
Can a character be grappled by more than one monster at a time and if so what are the benefits or detractors to doing that? If it can be done does creature 1 moving the grappled character away from creature 2 automatically break creature 2 grapple? In order to escape does the character have to spend 2 round of actions trying to escape each grapple individually or does he check against the highest?
I think this tweet answer’s several of those questions: https://www.sageadvice.eu/2017/04/27/if-youre-grappled-by-multiple-creatures-do-you-use-a-separate-action-to-escape-from-each/
As for the moving, any effect that moves the creature, would break the grapple of the creature that was grappling the previous mentioned creature.
I have been playing a high elf mystic. I chose green flame blade for my cantrip. At level 8 the mystic get the potent psionics feature. Would potent psionics apply its extra D8 to the weapon attack granted by green flame blade?
So at 8th level it would be 1d8(weapon attack)+ 1d8(gfb damage)+ 1d8(potent psionics)+ ability mod. Would that be correct?
RAW wise I’d say yes that would be correct (both the cantrip and the trait says it triggers if you hit a creature with a weapon).
having said that, I’d advice you to talk about it with your DM as this seems an oversight on the (experimental) UA (to me) and I personally would not allow it.
Hi, I’m pretty new in D&D world. I wanted to know if Forgotten Realms is where all actions and adventures take place or is just another world in the multiverse of the game. If I’m wrong and isn’t anything of that, what is Forgotten Realms?
Thank you.
Mighty Ivan
Forgotten Realms is a the most famous world created for D&D, so all adventure books published, except for Curse of Strahd and part of Tales of the Yawning Portal, are based in Forgotten Realms.
My advice is to use it until you are very familiar with the rules and Dungeon Mastering, after that you can try to create your world or expand Forgotten Realms with your Ideas.
To start with Forgotten Realms there is Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide.
and Have Fun.
