Out of character thread

Good to go, I'll fix the character sheet tomorrow morning.

Also good to go.

Hey all. Sorry for my absence. My sickness has really put me down a notch unfortunately. Next week I am finally seeing the specialist who can hopefully give me an aid that will alleviate most of the symptoms. Please do not hold up anything for me. I hope to be back in action soon after.

I wish you a quick recovery @Khulod.

Same, being sick sucks. Being chronically sick is something I can't begin to imagine. I hope you get some kind of solution from you specialist.

Get well soon. :D

Get better soon

A specialization gives you an expertise die for checks made pertaining to the specialization (+1d4, if you already have a +1d4 on that check for whatever reason, it turns into a +1d6, and so on up to +1d8).

kalajel. Will write that on the character sheet so I don't ask again.

Exactly!
Basically, you have to pay careful attention as to how an ability is worded. If it states "as pat of an Attack action" or something to that effect, it means the attack(s) you perform using your standard action (i.e. you did not chose dash, disengage, dodge, etc.) during your turn in the initiative order. This is often done for balance reason, to avoid a powerful ability being used too often in the round. When it say "when performing an attack you can..." or something to that effect, then it means any sort of attack, whether performed using a standard or bonus action, or even a reaction.
This is why monks (or adepts in a5e) hits that cliff before any other classes by virtue of the sheer amount of attacks they can deal in a round. So basically, monk/adept learning curve is a bit steeper than other classes because of that.

Entirely possible. This would be a case of specific trumps general, however, I went back to check to make sure and Disarm indeed specifies Attack actions.

Question. Can Sneak attack be used for non-standard attacks. I don't know if it is considered a maneuver or not. I don't own advance source materials.

So far, the only limitation I'm seeing (outside of the obvious needing an ally who's not incapacitated within 5' of your target or having advantage on the attack roll) is that this can be performed only once per turn with a finesse weapon or ranged attack.

I'll continue the discussion here to avoid cluttering the game's thread. Yeah, it's something you must calculate, there should be a place on your character sheet to note it. For you, since you're a sorcerer, it's going to be 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier, as noted here under Spellcasting Ability.

13 most likely, 15 if we use my +5 for saves.

13. You use your charisma modifier, not your charisma saves.

So 13

Okay, guys, please, when using spells or combat maneuver, please include your spell save DC (for spells) or Maneuver DC (for combat maneuvers) in your posts each time. This will speed things up as I won't have to constantly ask you what the opponent needs to roll.

I'll try to remember.
