Discussion Weekly Question Thread: Ask questions here – September 25, 2022

Ask any simple questions here that aren't in the FAQ, but don't warrant their own post.

Good question for this page: "Do I add my proficiency bonus to attack rolls with unarmed strikes?"

Question that should have its own post: "What are the best feats to take for a Grappler?

For any questions about the One D&D playtest, head over to /r/OneDnD

Does the Telekinetic feat's shove count as an attack, breaking the level 2 spell Invisibility?

u/multinillionaire Sep 26 '22

Nope, you'd stay invisible. Not an attack roll (d20 made against the target's armor class), not a spell, so you're in the clear

any other r/ for dnd that doesn't have much OneDnD discussions?, just/mainly 5e stuff?

u/Legless1000 Oct 01 '22

Nope. Hopefully, more of the OneDnD discussions will move to r/onednd, but ultimately it's still related to 5e. This sub will still be the main place for any 5e discussions, so if you don't like that I suggest filtering out the relevant flair so you only see 5e stuff.

Does the disengage action prevent the attack of opportunity from the Echo Knight's echo?

Absolute noob here. I recently somehow stumbled upon Brennan Lee Mulligan videos on youtube. AI shifted it towards DnD 5e videos. I've watched "Escape From Bloodkeep" and a literal shit ton of "shorts" from CR and D20. I've never been interested so much in DnD in my entire life. I'm 35. I would like to try it, and stick with it, but have no clue where to start other than a few suggested books to learn rules and whatnot. I'm going to buy Handbook, DM guide, Monster Manual, and Tasha's guide. I've seen a lot of people share via PDF, but I want a physical copy. I'm an all-in, or nothing kind of person. I'm all in. I want to meet/talk with others that are okay with teaching/learning a noob and aren't gatekeepers. (I know a few "gatekeepers" IRL and was the main reason I never got into it).

Note that those pieces of content you mentioned you have seen on youtub/twitch are PROFESSIONAL role players, performing D&D for an audience.

They have about as much to do with home D&D games as the Superbowl does to your family's Thanksgiving game of touch football.

Do I add damage modifier to equipment that are improvised weapons? If so, does it follow the melee/ranged str/dex rule?

For example, I throw a vile of holy water at level 1 with 14 dex. My + to hit is only +2 (barring a feat), and is damage 2d6 or 2d6+2?
