D&D: Rules Answers October 2016
The Dungeonmaster is back! – WotC answers a bunch of rules questions to keep your D&D adventures rolling along.
This month’s installment covers:
- Player’s Handbook Errata
- Class Features
- Multiclassing
- Combat
Here’s just a handful of samples to get you going:
Can spiked armor be used as a weapon only by battleragers? Can you make a primary attack with it or just a bonus attack?
In the Forgotten Realms, only battleragers are trained to use spiked armor effectively as a weapon, and only via their class features.
What happens if a grappled creature (or the grappler) teleports via Benign Transposition, Shadow Step, or another effect?
The grappled condition ends if an effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the grappler (PH, 290).
If I gain resistance from multiple features, does it grant me immunity?
Multiple instances of resistance don’t add together. Either you have resistance to an instance of damage or you don’t (see PH, 197). No matter how many things give you resistance to the damage you’re taking, you get to apply resistance to that damage only once. The same is true of vulnerability.
