> was the spellsword prone before Alices attack? you write both are prone before Alices actions occur
Something got cut paste, sorry, Alice did knock him prone so ignore that.
I love answering questions.
> Can Yulya now safely disengage without provoking an opportunity attack? they are prone and have bigger problems right now than attack her
Yes, they're on the ground, she can get away.
> what happens if Yulya uses sacred flame on the spellsword? can she accidentally hit Alice?
"Descends on a creature" makes me think of a light from above. "Flame" makes me think of fire. Either of those would affect Alice, but "a creature" is a key point, not "a 5ft square".
If it was a fire attack, Alice would be burned. It's not.
If it came from a direction like a spell attack, Alice could be hit.
I would lean toward something like if you attack a creature and hit natural 1 the attack hits the grappler and say if they resist the spell with dexterity and its a natural 20 on dex then Alice would also be affected, but only on 20 since she's coupled to him.
> wouldn't the optimal strategy be to focus all attack on the ranger?
[Ashley] Joy won't answer that, it's a conflict of interest with her, but I would say yes, get them down to 1 the ranger has essentially 4 hp left but he does have 21AC rn which is why sacred flame is great, hit the dang Ranger with sacred flame, it ignores AC
> his damage also goes to the spellsword. does that continue even if he's down to 0 hp?
As long as he's still alive, yes. If you exceed -20hp or if he dies from lost saving throws the rings lose their bond. He has already been technically downed twice and the rings still worked and revived him twice.
> will the rangers ac be down to 16 for this round?
> until his next turn
No, he gas 21 until he gets his turn next round whether he is consious or not.
> Yulyas plan would be to back off and cast sacred flame on the spellsword.
