That’s pretty much what Crawford implies when he says “I’d allow it, because I am liberal about improvised weapons” or whatever.

Yeah, it was that tweet that made me think this was the intent. It seems like a bit of a stretch to justify, but it’s good enough for me.

It's worth noting that reach weapons can be used within 5' at no penalty in 5e, so the whip and such is still technically compatible with the cantrips, even if it loses most of it's reason for being used.

I don't think that anyone was saying that a whip was impossible to use with this spell, but that the only reason to use a whip is now invalid.

Yeah, the 5' restriction is unnecessary. I think it is designed to prevent making the fire shoot out 10' past the original target with other features, rather than preventing the weapon from dealing the additional damage at its normal range and then having the fire jump to an adjacent target. You can probably literally just remove the 5' parts from both the target line and text and it will work as actually intended (that's how I'd run it). It's both stronger than the original wording that way (in that you don't need extra stuff to use it at reach range) and weaker in that you can't use that extra stuff to extend the flame range past the attack. I suppose it also doesn't work with War Caster, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.

It may not be his breath that is hot....the old 7/11 Nacho trot was usually headed to the loo. That makes the fire splash damage rather gross.

Well, here's a possible combination. The Bladesinger's Extra Attack allows for you to replace an attack from the Attack action with a cantrip, and Haste gives you an extra Attack action. The transitive property then suggests that you can combine those features to use the Hasted action to cast BB/GFB. What do you all think?
(I know this is slightly off topic, but just wanted to see what the people in this thread thought about this.)

Unless I'm missing something, I believe that would be the intended function of haste.

Haste typically doesn't let you cast spells.
