@Sardis As you made you PC charsheet just in time for the combat, let's assume Jerinvar has been together with the party and you could act in your initiative order. You can describe your PC visually in the narrative thread already

All players - let me know if you have any issues rolling anything in combat thread, I hop you all have all the rights to do that

Seems I have trouble rolling in-game. ???
I can roll in a diff thread if that’s better.

Edit - possible I messed up the code. Looking at it.
Return of Edit - fixed it.

Are we doing combat in initiative order? Or group order?

Also, I'll be out for the next 6 hours or so, won't be able to post during then.

@WhiteDwarf your modifier should be +10 not +5.

And just as @grifter730 noticed you posted out of your initiative. It is fine for the first combat - it is a test combat anyway, but in next combat I will be deleting any post done out of initiative.

P.S. Usually on PBP I allow players to post their turns in any order to boost things up, but this is a LVL 15 game and believe me - there are a lot of things that could change on the battle map until we reach your turn in initiative order. That's why in this game combat will happed rules as written. Each PC only act on their turn in initiative order.

If the feline creatures are monstrosities (?) can Jerinvar make an intelligence check to see what he knows of them (as monstrosities are his Favored Enemy as a Ranger)

Also, since it isn't an action (at least I don't think it is), can I make that check now (if he gets one).

Note: if I don't know what we are facing I will attempt to inquire every time so that I can use that ability whenever able).

Understandable, my apologies.

Make an intelligence check during a combat? Short answer - it is an Action

However the creature indeed appears to be a monstrosity. Anyone having features that work against monstrosity could user/apply them.

I'm wondering about sentence "the need to kill these majestic looking beasts". If it reflect your PC characteristics in any way I can give inspiration. Bajaz clearly told you not to kill, didn't he?

He doesn’t want to kill, but has no way of dispatching them any other way, and they need to get past here.

Heading out for a few hours. Will post when I get home.

I don't have my books in front of me and can't remember how readied actions work in 5e. Can I move with my move action and ready an action (casting a spell) with my attack action?

Yes, but you need:
1. Define exact trigger for when to cast the spell (i.e. "when any enemy moves within range")
2. Your spell slot will be wasted if trigger does not happen

Non lethal ways to handle them include : paralysis, charm, fear, intimidation, etc
The closer one is now much more susceptible to all of this from my attack as it is wounded and confused. If it runs away the 2nd should as well unless it is under some compulsion.

Actually, I need to rethink my action...as a Ranger, having Monstrosities as my Favored "Enemy" should have him wanting to kill them. I'll work on a post to reflect this (I didn't take that class feature into consideration with my last post...apologies). Will have something up in the next few hours.

Just for clarification...did only one eldritch blast beam hit? If both hit, the creature hit should have been pushed back 20' and speed slowed by 20' until the end of Jerinvar's next turn.

Also, in the future, I'll include spoiler tags for each invocation applied to his eldritch blast when used.

@Psybermage

As a player, I must think they are something different than you do? As to me they sound like Kamadan from Tomb of Annihilation? If they are that, they could have upwards of 108 hp each??? So 30+ is most likely around half damage, though possible closer to only 1/4??
