you can't in good faith say the RaW is clear. if the WarMagic feature had said, 'you use the magic action to cast a cantrip spell', THEN it is clear. the way its phrased allows the call that Crawford made. I'm fine with people saying it could go either way, i'm not fine with people being all...

"designers probably never thought of" did you watch the Crawford video. he (a designer) seems to have thought about, ..... either that or he's just winging it and getting it all wrong all over the place (i guess this is possible, but i'd expect a bit more from them when they host a live Sage...

if you can't see the 'interpretation' in what you are doing, you are not really trying to steelman the wording enough. ultimately Crawford thinks you are interpreting it wrong tho, so... i mean you are accusing him of being wrong? or at the very least you are accusing WotC of bad phrasing...

Yeah, but Crawford does not call it a magic action. He seems to see the war magic as 'if you cast a cantrip with your action' to mean if any 'main action' results in a cantrip casting, then you get the bonus action attack. which is fair since the War Magic does not call it a 'magic action' (is...

Thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback. but especially for the video. trying to dissect phrasing sometimes feels too much like interpretive art, so its easy to be left dissatisfied. i favour balance consideration arguments more, but ofcourse nothing really beats one of the designers talking...

There is no Sage advice on this, but it has been discussed in various forums. (and apologies if this has already been discussed here, but i could not find it with the search function) The question is, do these two class features synergize (requires character level of 13)? (standard 5E, not the...
