How do you use reactions in D&D?
When the trigger occurs, you can either take your Reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that you can take only one Reaction per round. When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your Reaction when the trigger occurs.
Can you choose not to do damage 5e?
You cannot choose to do less damage.
Can you target body parts in DND?
There aren’t really rules for aiming at body parts in D&D: hits just do damage. One exception being the cover rules (i.e. if you have parts of your body covered, the attacker must aim for the uncovered parts, which means you have a higher AC).
