The "only" benefit to a Reach weapon in 5e (both 14 and 24 versions) is the reach itself (if you don't have the movement to get into melee by that one square) and that you qualify for the polearm master feat. That's it, as far as I can tell. There's no drawback, other than that there's a bit...

Thank you. What's really crazy is that I was 19 when I started and had no education in business whatsoever! (My education was all in Engineering and Acting - neither useful for business, other than, I suppose Improv, which is much like "DMing" - both of which have good skills for just about...

Oops! Already responded to it. You CAN attack at normal 5ft reach with a reach weapon. Everything is good.

Team Ambush Merrick bounded up into the wagon's driver's seat, then vaulted over a crate that was behind it and on the other side. He landed in the tight space between the wagon and the cliffside, and he slashed the dwarf with the blade of his glave. The dwarf spun, dropping his crossbows. His...

@TaranTheWanderer Current surprise is very simple. The surprised creature has disadvantage on initiative. That's IT.

I am so proud of the health of my little comic and game store. After 31 years, things are at their hardest right now (that's not entirely true - 1998 was ROUGH, but somehow didn't seem like as much BS at every. single. turn. as right now seems). But! While my personal take-home as the owner is...

I canceled my Diamond account after 25+ years. End of an Era. The only thing worse than Diamond post-bankruptcy is Diamond under its new management!

@Neurotic, I noticed that my posted map has Sapphirion and the Orc Merc 10ft apart. You knocked the orc back but then he rushed forward and slashed Sapph with an axe. They should be adjacent. I won't bother fixing the posted map, but I have them together on mine now.

TEAM AMBUSH Encounter: Switchback Time: ~14:10 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Three

Team Ambush "We'd better get a wee closer!" called Corrah to Copper as she scrambled along the small ledge that they were on and leaped into a tree, where Scamp the hyena was hiding underneath. She wasn't stealthy, as the branches, even under her meagre weight, bounced up and down, but she took...

Stratus stretched, pushing back his chair and nearly striking his arms on the Inn's ceiling. Or so it seemed. He said, "I'm going to go see what the hold up is on my food order!"

We'll "go get food" or something and slip through the door either way. People are probably already suspicious, we just need to avoid a panic, not have everyone believe it.

New Hazard #6! Collision This round, if both kayaks fail their general "movement" rolls, it'll be a bad collision. If one fails, it will take the worst of the bump (the other will be relatively fine). If both make it, you can move away from each other as normal. Note: I only put you that close...

Team Lake Bjorn and Darius worked as a team, with the former keeping the kayak travelling straight while the latter removed the threat - by teleporting the big rock out of the river and onto the south bank. Still, they found themselves heading for a shallow bank. Together, they spun northward...

Stratus didn't understand elvish, but he was good at reading body language, and he'd overheard Caer's discussion with the Innkeeper. He said to Caer and Deirdre quietly, so as not to panic the crowd, "Trouble in the kitchen, hey? I can't say that I'm surprised. We'd best take care of it quickly...

Sounds like my kind of good time! (The popcorn and whisky. You won't catch me dead watching the video!)

For next round. I think a reasonable place for him to move (from where you left him) for example (your choice, obviously) would be L25. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, and probably should have put this convo in the OOC. My fault!

Okay, I will (hopefully) come back & roll both groups' rounds later today. A few quick comments: 1) @VLAD the Destroyer I feel that having to declare Lucky ahead of time would almost certainly make everyone never remember to use it. As I have always allowed people to "remember" sources of...
