[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 6682936, member: 17077"] Most of the Sage Advice rulings are sensible, but sometimes I am left scratching my head. Would it really be game-breaking for monk/rogues to be able to sneak attack with their fists? I don't know what problem they're trying to prevent here by jumping through all of these semantic hoops. Do they really want cleric/druids (or life clerics with magic initiate) to be able to heal 40 hp with a first level spell? They went out of their way to stop sorcerers and evokers from multiplying their damage bonus on spells like scorching ray, but they're fine with life clerics multiplying their healing bonus on spells like goodberry? What gives? I can at least see where they're coming from on the delay thing. I just don't think it's as big of a problem as they make it out to be. I've been letting the players voluntarily lower their initiative for the rest of the battle as a house rule and our game hasn't ground to a halt yet. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
