FAQs

---

Q1: Should players know what monsters are called when they encounter them?

• Ans: The first discusses new players, while the second concerns knowledge out-of-game vs. knowledge of characters.

Q2: What are the rules for character knowledge about monsters in D&D 5e?

• Ans: Players often wonder whether their skill proficiency can be applied to an ability check. The player might be able to provide a good case for why a character’s training and aptitude should apply to the check if there is a good reason. If so, you should reward the player’s creativity.

Q3: How much information about new monsters should I share with new players?

• Ans: It is generally a good idea to tell them only what their character knows. It is not uncommon for the D.M. to describe the creature’s appearance and not tell them its name until afterward.

Q4: In combat, is it necessary to take action to obtain information about a monster?

• Ans: While waiting your turn, you can communicate briefly, using your words and gestures if you are able… You might be required to use an action for any of these activities if it needs special attention from the DM.

Q5: When a spell is identified, what information is conveyed?

• Ans: If the character perceives the casting or effect of the spell, they can make an Intelligence (Arcana) check.

Q6: An effective skill check, RAW, should convey the following information?

• Ans: Experienced game master with an understanding of the implications of characters assuming a certain degree of world awareness.

Q7: When an opponent casts a spell, how can you tell what spell it is?

• Ans: Characters sometimes want to identify spells being cast or already cast by others. As a result, a character can use their reaction in real-time to recognize a spell as it’s being cast or by observing its effect after the spell has been cast.

Q8: Do you have the ability to cast two spells simultaneously?

• Ans: Multi-spells can both be cast at the same time and affect each other

Q9: What is the best way to introduce new monsters to new players?

• Ans: Your characters should only know what you tell them. Most DMs just describe a creature’s appearance without revealing its name until afterward.

Q10: When a spell is identified, what information is conveyed?

• Ans: With the reaction or action, the character can make an Intelligence (Arcana) check if they perceive the casting or effect of the spell.
