Guessing English is your second language? Not an insult, but a genuine observation. I don't think your answers are right, either. Not to spoil, but your answers are saying that the second benefit of the crossbow expert feat applies to spell attacks. Don't think so.

The second part of Crossbow expert specifies "Ranged attack roll" and doesn't mention any weapons. Interpret it how you will, I'm just trying to clarify.

I got 8/10, and agree with the things I got wrong. Switching out cantrips and stacking spell distance bonuses.

It's under the crossbow feat, so it's pretty obvious they are talking about weapons and not spells. It doesn't even pass the basic logic sniff test. Why would being an expert at a crossbow suddenly mean you don't suffer disadvantage with spells?

 

[Valmarius]

I get that. The point could also be made that a 'ranged attack roll' and a 'ranged spell attack' are different things.
Then again, you could argue that some training crosses over between the two disciplines.
I think it's written loosely enough that a DM could rule either way. I'd go with whatever made sense for the character.

"Is it intentional that the second benefit of Crossbow Expert helps ranged spell attacks?

Yes, it’s intentional. When you make a ranged attack roll within 5 feet of an enemy, you normally suffer disadvantage (PH, 195). The second benefit of Crossbow Expert prevents you from suffering that disadvantage, whether or not the ranged attack is with a crossbow. When designing a feat with a narrow use, we consider adding at least one element that can benefit a character more broadly—a bit of mastery that your character brings from one situation to another. The second benefit of Crossbow Expert is such an element, as is the first benefit of Great Weapon Master. That element in Crossbow Expert shows that some of the character's expertise with one type of thing -crossbows in this case - tranfers to other things."

Sage advice has ruled on this question already with regards to using the 2nd benefit of crossbow expert for spells. Of course DMs can rule it anyway they'd like.

You can stow and draw another weapon during one turn if you use your action. =3

Got 8/10. Got 1 and 7 wrong. 1 because I never had a Druid in my group so I never cared for any Druid rules and 7 because I was unclear on what you meant with "support a shield". As in if you use a shield with the feat it's not a shield but an improvised weapon instead.

 

[Celtavian]

I got the switching out cantrips wrong. I thought Crawford clarified they were spells and could be countered and such. Thus I assumed you could switch them like you can other spells. Oh well, another house rule for our group.

Question 7 is too misleading. I knew it costs sorcery points to use a metamagic feat but I definitely did not know the value. I assumed the 2 sorcery point cost was normal, not paying for the spell sniper feat as additional.

Please alter the second option so as to say "Yes, but you must pay double the normal sorcery point costs."
