D&D (2024) How do we feel about the new spells

[AlViking]

True strike works with ranged attacks.
Grab a light crossbow and you got 1d8+Int at 80', with 2 damage types to pick from including radiant which is probably the best. It's the best pure damage cantrip.

Also note you can't swap weapons easily without the Attack action.

The spell is labeled melee spell attack, not ranged. It hasn't ever come up so I've never had to make a final ruling since the text doesn't clarify.

IMO, just don't deal damage with out of turn movement. (I.e. no readying to dash, or monk dragging you around).

That works too.

Range is Self. Doesn't say anything about melee.

What are the completely new spells in D&D 2024?

Like I said, I don't think it's clear since it's not spelled out in the text but it is indicated in the spell block. Compare that to fire bolt which says ranged spell.

I don't know if anyone has a comprehensive list, I found Spell Changes In The Revised D&D 2024 Player's Handbook | One D&D Spell Changes which might be complete.

I double checked my book, and it doesn't say anything about melee.

So looks like that's a DnD beyond issue.

Thanks. What I meant, though, was a list of spells in the 2024 PHB that are brand new to the game.

I don’t think DDB organization tags count as rules, in any sense.

It's probably just setting up the die roll if you use the tool's die roll. Range and touch attacks bonuses are the same so it doesn't matter.

I think star Druid should have got an added spell list, specifically storm of radiance. Honestly just wished they just added that to the list it just makes sense. Star Druid is already pretty strong but we have moon Druid which is still op so idk I think it would be fair

Hyped for sorcerous burst gameplay

Will create a draconic or wm sorcerer when I get the books (waiting for them)
