You devote all your attention to look for something (Perception or Investigation). It's your DM's choice whether or not a baddie gets an opportunity attack here, or if they're distracted by your companions.
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End your turn.|Still in it?]]Make a Stealth check to hide. (Unless your DM says otherwise, it’s usually assumed that all enemy combatants are actively paying attention to you so your stealth roll will usually be contested by perception rolls from all enemy combatants.)
If you succeed:
- You have advantage on attack rolls against anyone who can't see you. Hit or miss, you usually give your location away when you attack and lose Hiding benefits..
- Anyone attacking <i>you</i> has disadvantage on their attack roll while try try to guess where you went.
(Your DM reserves the right to not let you hide or make an absurdly high DC to hide successfully if you're, like, in an open plain.)
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End my turn.|Still in it?]]You prepare an action that you can use your reaction<a data-passage="" class="tooltip"><span style="text-align: left;">An instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else’s.
You can’t take another Reaction until the start of your next turn. and if the Reaction interrupts another creature’s turn, that creature can continue its turn right after you.</span>^^//(?)//^^</a> to execute. i.e.: "I prepare a Judo stance for if the Orc runs towards me." You can also Ready a spell to go off when that trigger happens.
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[I sit my white ass face down and end my turn.|Still in it?]]
The creature you aid gains advantage on the next ability check it makes to perform the task you are helping with, provided that it makes the check before the start of your next turn.
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End your turn.|Still in it?]]Self-explanatory; use something on your person or in your environment, movement permitting. Roleplay away!
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End my turn.|Still in it?]]Let the rest of the round play out.

Enjoy your spoils, if you got any.
[[Start over?|Initiative]]Weapon or spell?
[[I'm attacking with a weapon.]]
[[I'm attacking with a spell.]]Your spell description should tell you what to do next.
If it's a one-turn attack spell, go to [[the Attack menu|I'm attacking with a spell.]].
Otherwise, you can [[take a bonus action|Take a Bonus Action.]] (if the spell doesn't need concentration) or [[end your turn|Still in it?]] here.Choose the Bonus Action you're using:
[[I'm making an Offhand Attack|I'm attacking with a weapon.]] with a light weapon I'm holding in my off hand.
[[I'm casting a spell|Cast a spell.]] that has a casting time of one bonus action.
[[I'm using some other racial or class feature]] that specifies a Bonus Action.You can move/climb/swim/etc as much as your movement speed permits for this turn without provoking an opportunity attack.
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End your turn.|Still in it?]]If everyone in the party agrees to run away, you all Dash and enter a Chase scene (usually from the initiative order). If not... well, I'll leave that to your DM's discretion. It can be fun to roleplay, even if you do provoke an opportunity attack.
[[We couldn't get away....|It's my turn!]]
[[We escaped!|Congrats!]]Nyoom
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[End my turn.|Still in it?]]Declare what weapon you're using to attack (e.g.: a sword, a lance, a crossbow...)

[[Ranged.|Pa-sheww!]]
How does the spell hit the target? (Check the spell description)
[[I need to make a spell attack roll.]]
[[The target makes a saving throw.]]
(If you need to to both, just pick the one you do first.)Roll to hit:
1d20 + Proficiency bonus (if you're proficient) + STR (for most weapons) or DEX (if it's a "finesse" weapon) + any extra bonuses you get to attack rolls.
[[I hit!]]
[[I rolled a nat 20!]]
[[I missed...]]
[[I rolled a nat 1?!]]Roll to hit:
1d20 + Proficiency bonus (if you're proficient) + DEX (for most weapons) or STR (if it's a "thrown" weapon) + any extra bonuses you get to attack rolls.
Comparing your number against your target's AC...

Your weapon should specify which die to roll, then add the DEX or STR modifier you used for the attack roll , plus any extra damage you're adding from features like Divine Smite.
[[Take a Bonus Action.]]
[[I can attack again!|I'm attacking with a weapon.]] (Some classes, like Fighter at level 5, give you two Attacks per turn plus a bonus action.)
[[End my turn.|Still in it?]]Loser.

You just miss. Unless your bonuses were enough to make up for it and beat their AC. Unless unless you have any house rules that say otherwise.

If you're multiclassing, use the stat for the class you're pulling the spell from.
</span>^^//(?)//^^</a> + proficiency bonus = spell save DC)
Some spells have different effects based on if the target saves or fails the throw, so make sure you take those into account!
