The general formula is the area divided by five and rounded **up**. Except cones, divide them by ten. And lines, divide them by thirty. So a 100 long line can hit 4 people. | The general formula is the area divided by five and rounded **up**. Except cones, divide them by ten. And lines, divide them by thirty.

"You also don’t provoke an opportunity attack when you teleport or when someone or something moves you without using your movement, action, or reaction. For example, you don’t provoke an opportunity attack if an explosion hurls you out of a foe’s reach or if gravity causes you to fall past an enemy." | "You also don’t provoke an opportunity attack when you teleport or when someone or something moves you without using your movement, action, or reaction.

- | Ray of Frost in ordinary fight: | ||
- | * if you are frosted, you can't run from one mêlée group to the next, but you can move into mêlée groups if you're out, or out of mêlée groups if you're in | ||
- | * if you aren't frosted, you can move between mêlée groups. | ||
- | |||
- | Ray of Frost works best in chase or volley, where it works with the listed speeds. | ||

+ | ==== Find Familiar ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The PHB says “the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast”. For Zakharan characters, the familiar is instead always an elemental instead of its normal type. | ||

+ | If Bob has one tally mark from taking a turn, and Alice has three (from taking two turns and then dodging once); Bob will get to act before Alice does. | ||

+ | There are things that work in the first round of combat, like Assassinate (Assassin subclass feature) and Dread Ambusher (Gloom Stalker subclass feature). | ||
+ | |||
+ | But reading them closely I see that they don't refer to rounds, they refer to turns, making them easier to understand even with our system. | ||
