@arlentric: Underappreciated D&D rules #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndtiktok #ttrpg #gaming

SwitchImpulse :

I allow the Help action without proficiency if the player can tell me how they're helping. I might ask for a low DC check of their own to see if they can actually help

AradiaKJ :

Stealth RAW is ABSOLUTELY BUSTED, and ive yet to see it run as it’s written. Especially with the skulker feat, which is basically the poor man’s permanent invisibility. When you take the hide action, you roll stealth. As long as creatures cannot directly see you, and their passive perception is not greater than your stealth roll, you are now Hidden to them. This means advantage on all your attacks against them, and disadvantage on their attacks against you. When you attack a creature, hit or miss, you reveal your *location* at the time of the attack. The wording is important here - you do not break stealth when you attack a creature. They simply learn where that attack came from. They can then make an attack (at disadvantage) at that position. If you moved, they do not learn this, and will auto-miss if they attack where you *were*. In order to spot you they either need to put you in a situation where they automatically see you (eg bright light), or take the Search action. ACTION. Unless they have an ability that says otherwise (i think theres a humanoid statblock that can do it as a bonus action?), it uses up their WHOLE action, just to let them make a perception check. If they succeed, then you are no longer hidden from them. Them specifically. Them pointing you out to their allies may (DM’s discretion) give advantage on their perception checks to see you, but it does bot automatically break your hiding for anyone else. And because they used their action? Guess what a rogue can do as a bonus action next turn before the enemy gets a turn to attack. This means basically permanent advantage on attacks and disadvantage on attacks made to hit you. That is disadvantage if they’re aiming in the right spot, which they likely arent unless you have to stay still. Skulker makes this even more OP, as it lets you hide if even lightly obscured. That means you can hide in the dark even if they have darkvision, and are stood RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. It means you can basically vanish like a horror movie villain in *light fog*. Walk right up to someone, stab them in their stomach, and then walk away, and all they’ll know is that you were right in front of them.

Maria | Booktok 🇦🇹 📖 :

Why does nobody want to be the DM?😅 I am kinda new to DnD but for me beeing a DM seems more fun than playing😅 but I only played oneshots so far and I still have to learn all the rules 😅

Oak :

I had absolutely no idea about the last part

TikTok Moderation :

I prefer if you need to be proficient. My current campaign we have advantage on essentially every single check because we “help” each other.

matmetivier :

I have the opposite action my players always default to their passive scores whenever their active rolls are lower 🥲

therobertkole :

I’m glad others also ignore new initiative rules

I ❤️ DND :

GhostMikazuki :

Do it do it do it do it! Let a forever DM free 😭 . Yeah it does annoy me that one of 5e's balance for ranged characters is just ignored 90% of the time 😂

Twystd Lukc :

I would take it even further with passive STR. A creature that is built to be JACKED should have to make a roll, or at least at adv, for many things.

General PsychoFreedom :

rule? only one have fun

popeelliott666 :

fun fact. usually making a ranged attack on someone who is prone (in 2014 5e mind you) you have Disadvantage. BUT, if that prone mf is incapacitated, you have Advantage!
