ast session our party (4 level 4 PCs) fought two NPCs built with full PC character sheets: a level 10 Monk and a level 10 Eldritch Knight.

We already knew the DM sometimes uses PC sheets for NPCs because they’re all in the same D&D Beyond campaign. During a break I accidentally noticed their levels/classes (I’ve got a photographic memory). I told the DM immediately and he didn’t mind — we’ve played together for years.

For context, I’m usually the forever DM, and I’ve already said I’m not a fan of using PC builds for NPCs, even allied ones.

The fight was wildly one-sided. Our fighter used Alert to swap initiative with me and go first in combat, and my Paladin/Bard went from 40 HP to 0 in a single round despite 16 AC and Blade Ward active, before having a turn.

The DM’s response was basically: “That’s just how some characters are built.” He suggested I ask online whether this is actually a bad way to design encounters.

So… thoughts?

So, I'm playing in this paper/pencil 2014 5e group with a handful of people I've never meet, including the DM. I'm used to being the forever DM, so I jumped at an opportunity to play for once.

Long story short, the DM is convinced that it is "completely unrealistic" for my character to be able to attack with her Rapier and then disengage and back away all in 6 seconds. When I first tried it, he said something about not being able to use a bonus action after your main action, which I quickly tried to correct and insisted he looked it up in the player's handbook.

He read off word for word the section about bonus actions, which is:

You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so you must choose which bonus action to use when you have more than one available.
You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action's timing is specified, and anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you from taking a bonus action.
- pg. 189 Player's Handbook

Which, in my opinion is pretty cut and dry, but after reading it he still insisted that it wouldn't be possible. In his mind, it isn't realistic for a person to be able to do such a thing. So, instead of causing a fuss, I just respected his decision as a DM and moved on. As a DM myself, I've been there and I know that during the game isn't the best time to solve disagreements.

At the end of the session I brought it up again. I asked him to look into it online and reconsider because I believe that is a really big nerf to rogues. He told me he still didn't believe it was realistic, and made an argument about how if you commit to an attack there is no way you'd be able to change your momentum and back out. I argued that fencers do it all the time with lunging techniques but he followed up saying that I would reasonably be followed by my opponent, who wouldn't let me disengage so easily, to which I fired back that of course they could follow me, but it'd happen on their turn if they choose to do so.

Do you guys have any advice how I might convince him to see reason?

Hello! One of my players used everyone s favourite 9th level spell, Time Stop, as a martial spellcaster, and I need a rulling for next session.

Based on the wording, the spell ends as soon as you do anything that affects another creature, but it doesn't specify what happens to the turn itself.

So if they attack someone with a weapon during time stop, does the turn immediately end after the first attack, or does the spell just end and they get to finish the turn, doing a second attack and then a third (with haste)?

I ruled that the turn continues (it felt like a let down to interrupt their combo with a 9th level spell slot, and also I feel like it made more sense thematically) but I would like to know what makes the most sense RAW.

This cutie is not one of my own characters but a commission I had the pleasure to work on! I hope you'll like her!
