D&D 5E Finally

What does a wizard's spell focus do?
The basic rules does not go into it.

thanks again

Actually, the Basic rules do go into it. You can use the focus to replace the material components of a spell as long as they don't have a gold piece value listed.

Thanks for all of the answers, Palladion. Could you peek at Appendix B again and tell me the suggested domains for Corellon Larethian (and if we haven't seen the features for that domain yet, could you share those as well?)

Thanks again!

That's right, but there are none listed in the equipment section.
How about some prices on those?
...or did I miss those too? =O

I think this is in the Basic Rules in the Spellcasting chapter. "A character can use a component pouch or a spellcasting focus (found in chapter 5) in place of the components specific for a spell. But if a cost is indicated for a component, a character must have that specific component before he or she can cast the spell." (Components: Material PHB 203)

They are in the table of P47

Does there seem to be any big changes in the equipment section to the weapons or armor? Any additional entries over the basic rules?


Thanks for all the answers.

Light Domain: Bonus Cantrip, Warding Flare (disadvantage to attacker), Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn, Improved Flare, Potent Spellcasting (Wisdom modifier to cantrip damage), Corona of Light.

Yes, wizard list has more spells at a glance with more utility and ritual spells. 9th level spell list, sorcerers have 5 spells, wizards have 12 spells. Astral projection, foresight, imprisonment, prismatic wall, shapechange, true polymorph, weird are not on the sorcerer list, for example.

Do sorcerer's get any spells that wizards don't?

You did. Page 47 of the Basic rules in the equipment list under Arcane Focus.

edit: or Druidic Focus or Holy Symbol

Thanks for all the answers.

Equipment chapter is exactly the same as Basic Rules, except there are pictures.
