D&D (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

Did poor old Color Spray get any love?

Instead of affecting a certain number of HP worth of creatures, Color Spray affects all creatures in the cone, but they get a Con save to avoid being blinded.

Actually yeah....it's pretty hefty. Every spell, feat, background, equipment, skill, rule, etc.

Does it self-reference again? Or does every entry include a page number?

For Great Weapon Master, is the proficiency bonus to damage bonus for all attacks or just one per turn?

It says "When you hit a creature with a Heavy weapon as part of the Attack action on your turn..." So I assume it'd apply to multiple attacks!

What effects does Heroes Feast have now?

Resistance to poison damage, immunity to frightened and poisoned conditions, and HP Max and HP increases by 2d10.

Warlock's Chain Pact has new options, some of which we've seen stats for and some we haven't. The Sphinx of Wonder, for example, got an official preview. But there was a last minute addition of the Venomous Snake, and I don't think we know anything detailed about its stats.

Could you glance at the creature stats Appendix and tell us how the Venomous Snake compares to the heavy hitter Chain Pact options like Imp and Pseudodragon?

Venomous snake is still CR 1/8, while Pseudo is 1/4 and Imp is 1. The stat blocks reflect this

Is there a sidebar on mixed species?
Anything different about multiclassing?
Is concentration still the same?

Concentration is 10 or half the damage you take, up to a maximum of 30. Multiclassing still seems mostly the same, with a focus on primary stat prerequisite. But I actually never multi-classed in 5e, so I'd have to take a close look at both! And no rules or sidebar for mixed species that I could find...

Edited for critical typo.

Was the Warlock nerfed from the 3 attacks in UA?

What's the description for Tiefling?

Tieflings are born in the Lower Planes or have ancestors from there. Their fiendish legacy comes with the promise of power, yet has no effect on the Tiefling's moral outlook. A Tiefling chooses whether to embrace or lament their legacy...

What's Produce Flame like now?

It's a bonus action. 20 feet of bright and 20 of dim, 10 min duration, and you can, as a "Magic Action" hurl a little fire for 1d8 damage.

What are the Weapon Proficiencies on the Base Bard Class?

Just Simple

 

[DavyGreenwind]

Is Faerie Fire still a concentration spell?

Ugh, yes
