Does the kobold player race feature, Pack Tactics, give ranged attacks advantage?

$begingroup$


On page 119 of VGtM, the description of the Kobold playable race's trait, Pack Tactics, reads:




Pack Tactics. You have advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.




It doesn't specify whether your attack has to be melee or that the ally must be within 5 feet of your PC.



Does the kobold player race feature, Pack Tactics, give ranged spell and weapon attacks advantage?

          Your reasoning is correct



          Indeed, Pack Tactics only requires that you have an ally within 5 feet of the target so this would work with any attack, including ranged spell or weapon attacks.



          If the feature only worked for melee attacks it would say so, but it doesn't, so any attack works.

            That would work



            For starters, congrats on ingenuity. In most cases, in games I have played and GMed, my players never really considered that, and neither did I. But when you think about it, it would make sense.



            The text from VGtM does not explicitly state otherwise; in fact, it only states that as long as you are attacking a creature and you have an ally within 5 feet of it, you have advantage.



            The only way I see this going bad is if you critical fail and your arrow goes slightly off target, only to target your ally... Just don't try to throw a fireball at some creature while your ally stands right there. That would be messy.

                    My bad, I am rather used to the homebrew take I usually spin on it with the approval of the people I play with.

                    Tabula Rosettana

                    Image
                    Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...

                    How to label and detect the document text images

                    Image
                    1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
