I was right about Shield Master

I don't see how anything's different? It's not like you have to make the attacks immediately after taking the action, so as soon as you take the action (note: not complete) you can use your Bonus action, nee?

The ruling is that you must complete your attack action in order to use shield master.

Huh. Well I still have no idea where said ruling is. If it's Twitter, I'm just going to ignore it since nothing sensible seems to come from it any more.

You are right at this moment- as Jeremy Crawford reversed his position on this ruling a few days ago. However, will you be crowing about it when he reverses himself again in a few weeks?

For the record - I do think the current ruling is a more natural reading of the rule.

Can you copy his last posting?

Only crowing because I got such grief for pointing out that this is the natural reading and the other attempted reading made no sense (albeit is more fun)

Feels good to be vindicated...

Sure. And I was just teasing you.

I do wonder why anyone would take this feat now though?

They won’t. Like most feats it’s now relegated to a smidge above useless.

Grammatically it does, narratively, however...

So what's the new ruling on timing? I don't follow twitter.
