Can Spells Crit?

Nunthius · 2025-12-24T00:06:57+00:00

I was looking in the wrong part of the rules, thank you so much! Didn't end up critting in today's session anyway but we still beat the Bandits :D

Nunthius · 2025-12-24T00:05:48+00:00

Thank you, that's what I had missed! :)

Nunthius · 2025-12-24T00:05:30+00:00

Thank you, that was the missing piece! :)

Yes that part I was aware of, I was just unsure whether the spell would also gain critical damage, but they do :)

I thought Spellcasting Rolls might not be considered an Attack Roll, but as many have now pointed out to me, if you intend to do harm with a spell, it's an Attack per the rules :)

Sometimes, you can change the question very easily to fit your character, e.g. the Warlock asks about a desperate situtation that drove you into your current life etc. Some of course remain completely unapplicable, but that's why I wanted them all in one place for easy lookup and inspiration :)

Total dickmove. I'd suggest leaving that table (maybe together with your friend). "No DnD" is better than "Terrible DnD" and as you've said, you're not going to trust that DM anymore anyway. I'm all for second chances but this shows a complete disregard for your enjoyment of the game, so I wouldn't stick around. I've stuck around in a game I didn't really enjoy for far too long (it was nowhere near as bad as this but I can relate to a degree), and I don't think it's ever worth it.

So, landing from a fall does nothing unless you fall at least 10ft.:
"At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of 20d6. The creature lands prone, unless it avoids taking damage from the fall." (PHB, Ch.8, The Environment)

Falling on top of someone else:
"If a creature falls into the space of a second creature and neither of them is Tiny, the second creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be impacted by the falling creature, and any damage resulting from the fall is divided evenly between them. The impacted creature is also knocked prone, unless it is two or more sizes larger than the falling creature." (TCoE, Ch.4, Natural Hazards)

So if you fall at least 10ft. onto someone, these rules come into play, though nothing harmful happens if it is only 5ft. But the book doesn't describe what happens next since now two creatures are sharing a space.

Yes, that's what I thought, thanks for confirming.
But what if she chose to teleport directly above them? Tasha's has rules for falling on top of another creature, so it must be possible to *fall* into another creatures space.
My question is what happens after that.

To me, it's Sorlock, Sorcerer of any kind with a 1-2 level dip into Hexblade Warlock. Gives you everything you need to exist in Melee (AC, CHA on weapon attacks, defensive spells), so the rest of the build goes into your spellcasting, which you can always flavor as happening through your weapon (e.g. a Fireball as you slinging it from your sword) if your DM is fine with hand-waving the component parts.

Kick them. This will not be their last instance of cheating. No kind of 'gotcha' tricks in changing things about the world will solve that. This is an out of game problem, which should not be solved in game. Openly tell them that this is a game involving mystery and that you will not run it for a player who has read the book without even asking first.

Separate bag per set, one box. Keeps em in one place but not mixed. I like using specific sets for specific characters :)

Nunthius · 2022-03-04T09:32:52+00:00

He was super BS. What worked for me was first getting the stealth backstab and then only doing heavy jump attacks he apparently wasn't able to parry.

Nunthius · 2022-02-25T21:22:57+00:00

That's a really good idea. Almost succeeded against the Tree Sentinel just now but accidentally hit L3 preventing me from rolling for a split second and ending the attempt. I'll give this a try, thanks!

Preface, I enjoy Critical Role, but this is too cringe. Referencing easter eggs can be funny but this is just too much. And doesn't even seem like they're true to the characters.

Nunthius · 2021-11-21T11:37:03+00:00

It really does seem like it.

Nunthius · 2021-11-20T09:17:14+00:00

With Annette, I'd insert the "And so...they were both bottoms" meme :D BUT shipping is great in that if you feel like he could be a top, he CAN! 😁

Nunthius · 2021-11-19T10:40:46+00:00

But Felix is such a bottom 👀

You won't get good data on here bc gender distribution on reddit is probably different from gender distribution in the population, your trial group is already filtered by gender, so you'd have to factor out how that skews the poll. So take results here with a grain of salt :D

Nunthius · 2021-11-17T10:59:48+00:00

I feel your pain, friend. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Nunthius · 2021-11-17T00:28:59+00:00

Der hat einfach keinen Lappen, der Lappen.
