Armored casting and questions Joy the DM 03/12/2024 (Tue) 23:16 No.3528 del
As a point of interest, anyone can now wear anything. Apparently in 5e a sorcerer can wear heavy armor if they choose and it will not impede their spell performance if they have proficiency. However, without heavy armor proficiency, the weight will count against encumbrance and all strength and dexterity saving and ability throws are at a disadvantage and cannot cast spells unless the armor is magically infused to allow it. But a sorcerer could learn proficiency and then have no drawback. This makes sense for the spellsword class especially. Also shields can be used at no penalty without proficiency and grant +2AC but most spells require free hands as spells that are marked "S" for somatic gestures. I would think anything over tier 2 would require both hands but dropping the shield or leaving it stowed on the back like a turtle shell is appropriate. In that case it would offer the +2 AC only against the direction it is facing so Ashley may choose to wear a shield over a pack at the expense of added weight.

>Oh ok, I thought this was scenario 1 - scene 1, not a time format.

It is not a time format no, it is mark 01-scene 01.

>I want to know exact time

This isn't a digital world. There may be a church bell on the hour otherwise people generally judge by the angle and placement of the sun. I would think it's reasonable to presume you would know it's roughly 2-3pm and sunset will be roughly 6pm on the 3rd of Spring.

>That's a magical transformation.

It is but the clothing isn't magical. It would have to be "shape-shifting clothing or armor" to be handled automagically. It will drop off, the animal will shed it. Confining armor could be a problem.

>What direction is the Rothé facing and what's its field of view? Will it stampede over its owner towards us?
