On the fact that you can't hide if any enemies see you: I realize that they did this for balance issues, but it makes me ask a few questions if I extrapolate from that rule. Does that mean that communication between allies is instantaneous? What if the allies can't see or hear each other. If one ally sees through an illusion do all their allies also because he instantaneously say "Hey that's fake."
@michaelgilley1187 illusion magic is usually specific to who makes the check over the casters spell DC. - I would say that communication is instantaneous. If that communication was louder than a whisper, then it would count for losing hide.
I’m really annoyed by the Hide changes. I have a hostage bound and gagged behind me and the next closest enemy is 100 feet away with no line of sight but this wording implies that I wouldn’t be able to successfully hide.
Can you replace Eldritch Blast's attacks with a Net via the Attack action to cast a cantrip made by a Bladesinger, 2024 Valor Bard, or 2024 Eldritch Knight with a single level dip into Warlock? I would assume you need the Net drawn for each use. Regardless, its how anyone can play Spider-Man without the Web Spell. Willingly failing a Save must've been a house rule because in BG3, Shoving an Ally wasn't always guaranteed. Now, with the changes to opportunity attacks, they removed "hostile" so you can shove passing allies. War Caster would allow you to reaction cast passing allies, preferably with buffs or heals. Hiding NEEDS the facing rule. Otherwise it's technically, if you can see them, they can see you. It also great for detecting hidden enemies.
@xiongray I mean depending on the wording yes. But this is also why whenever I play of game of D&D one of my homebrew rules is that cantrips level with class and not character. - it never made since to me that a 17fighter 3 level warlock can eldritch blast just as good as a 20th level warlock.
@xiongray I still don't like that either. What does a 17 bard 3 level warlock know about eldritch blast that a 20 level or even a 17 level warlock know. They actually took time to use, practice, and become skilled with. - now one level dip and I can blast with the best of them. I don't agree with that.
@@RulesLawyerDnD That's completely fair. I was going to say, "Magic" but that's akin to having a Doctorates in Marine Biology & expected to also know Astrophysics.
Yeah, I know this was something that was in previous editions that rolled over. Those were just examples of what people did because It was easier to do that than do a roll off like the 2014 PHB suggests.
@@RulesLawyerDnD It doesn’t suggest a roll off either, that is an optional rule for ties between an enemy and a player. When players tie they decide who goes first. I think having players go first based on dexterity bonus is stupid. It equates to whoever rolled the lowest goes first…
Optionally, the DM can have the tied characters and monsters each roll a d20 to determine the order, highest roll going first. That's straight from the 2014 PHB which is their optional suggestion. - I agree I don't like it because it slows the game down.

I know right. It's kinda crazy the changes they put on it. Also I guess you'll have to blindfold them now.

@@RulesLawyerDnD Agreed. They should've kept the Cantrip scaling by Class level instead of Character Level. If not that, at least Spellcaster Level.

do you have a link for part 1?
The only reason for failing a saving throw, I dunno maybe comedic purposes?
Feels unnessecary

That's the link to part one

sweet thanks
Was telling a mate about your channel and I thought the rule changes would be a good intro
@@ComicBookGuy420 Thanks. I'll keep that in mind
Using Dex bonus to break ties on initiative never existed in 2014! You have had 10 years to read this…
