| Aug 11, 2023 at 19:05 | comment | added | Kirt | @MivaScott Cf. Do I intuitively know if someone already used their reaction? specifically, and more generally about having to use meta-game knowledge to take advantage of in-game abilities: Do reactions that trigger on saving throws give knowledge of saving throws that would otherwise be secret? | |
| Aug 11, 2023 at 19:03 | comment | added | Kirt | @MivaScott I would hope the goblin understands whatever in-game narrative concept covers Opportunity Attacks, since it has a dedicated featured half of whose purpose is to prevent them! But it is a fair point that the goblin knowing a reaction had been used would be considered meta-gaming at some tables. At others, there would be a narrative description of the goliath taking a second to 'shake off' the damage, and the goblin realizing that thus distracted, the goliath would not be able to immediately respond to a retreat. YMMV. | |
| Aug 11, 2023 at 17:45 | comment | added | MivaScott | I would also point out that the goblin not using nimble escape because the goliath used stone's endurance is very meta-gaming. I doubt a goblin would understand stone's endurance (or opportunity attacks) and would just nimble escape anyways. | |

"he dashed to the location" could just mean he moved, but with "The barbarian then Dashed to the goblin" I assumed the capital-D-Dash indicated the mechanical action. Still my assumption, though. | |
| Aug 10, 2023 at 22:43 | comment | added | NotArch | This is all assuming the DM is running straight goblins out of the book, too. Amazing breakdown of the likely sequence, though! I do wonder if Dash is narrative and not mechanical in use. | |
