In general a reaction specifies when it occurs relevant to the triggering action. (I think, I'm double checking a few.) In the case where is ambiguous i think the ruling from WOTC in Xanathar's is good. If two or more things happen at the same time on a character or monster’s turn, the person...

Like the order of the sections or the font on them? Either way, comparing to MoMe1 i don't see a difference?

Looks like it's up for me.

I'd say a magic item or a feat for both would be better than adding them to the base class. That gives you a little flexibility over when the character receives them and can put level requirements on them as well. Both the mentioned features are very powerful as noted above so I'm not sure how...

Totally! I'll have to look at those too. I liked the single summons spells a little more than the summon a hoard.

I've continued to allow portions as a bonus action as a house rule when we converted. It works fine, maybe because we don't have a rogue but also included that a potion as an action gives maximum potential.

I'm wondering if anyone is planning to go through the 2024 WotC PHB and find the things that impact you if you want to maintain compatibility with other 5e systems. Or or finding and creating a list of the things now differ in the core mechanics. I'm imagining the things I've seen in reviews of...

This is what we did. Works just fine and no complaints from my players. I don't even notice what they're doing as dm.

Nothing recently. Anything you're looking for in particular?

#soon?!?!?

So you have a sense of how long it will be? Full length book, full art?

I allowed my players to take the synergy feats a level early, so at least two of one class and 4 in the other. In both cases the "2" class was one that got their subclass by then, which I think would be the only concern mechanically. 3/3 means you get consistency in the design and don't have...
