I would have preferred if WOTC would have employed English majors to go over everything and literally say, "are you an idiot, because only an idiot would word it this way. You need to be clear, let's word it like this instead.." :P

Well, I suppose you could go back to 4th edition where everyone outpowered Wizards :P That's the trade-off, spellcasters don't have a lot going for themselves in earlier levels. However, I greatly disagree that spellcasters out power martials at higher levels. In 5th edition, martials can...

Yeah, that would limit the function of the spell as intended and spellcasters already get the shaft in the number of higher level spells they can cast compared to other editions.

Okay, I get the beat passive perception thingy, but unless I am blind I don't see it saying "because its only surprised until after its first turn." It does say, "Any character or monster that doesn’t notice a threat is surprised at the start of the encounter." I would argue that if you are...

Okay, I found this link to a Jeremy Crawford Twitter thingy. If I am reading this correctly, you can teleport to the other side of a Wall of Force because you are the target and you only need to have line of sight to the destination, but casting a spell requires both line of sight and a clear...

Jeremy Crawford talked about this in his podcast. The Wall of Force is Invisible so you have line of sight, but because there is a barrier, the Wall of Force, a Fireball for example would detonate at the Wall. So there is a difference between Line of Sight and a Clear Path, and I get that...

Okay, where is it written that it means the target is unaware of combat? Please support that with a source.

Hmm, but if you are an Illusionist you could "recast" the Simulacrum with Malleable Illusions to basically get new spell slots avoiding your first issue, or hard casting Simulacrum so it will have your 9th level spell slot. Personally I hate the whole rule on the 33% chance of never casting...

What kind of spells can get through a Waff of Force? I know that you have to have line of sight to cast a spell and I know that spells don't go through a Wall of Force. I've seen game play on Gungeaon Dude were they Dimensioned Doored out of a Wall of Force, so how is that possible? I heard...

Assassinate is easy, I get that in general. I'm wondering if you can use it on additional rounds of combat if you are hidden and your opponent can't see you thus maybe giving you "surprise" on a hit? So I guess Invisibility in this addition allows people to deduce where you are unless you are...

Can I cast Wish to duplicate the Simulacrum spell and then have the simulacrum cast Wish to do a non-spell effect like give the party resistance and then the Simulacrum will take the hit for the 33% chance of neve being able to cast Wish again correct? I mean the logic seems solid unless I am...

I wish they would have edited it better, but it's easy to overlook the typos, punctuation, and telling versus showing because the story is solid. I kind of wish he would remaster it, or let me remaster it for him.

Okay, I'm not sure how you get 195 damage on a Dissonant Whisper, but Wizards can't cast it anyway so the Bard would be using that with another Bard spell. I do appreciate your input though as I want to know the kinds of fallout that can happen by altering the spell mechanic. However, don't you...

The wall of force in this scenario separated a group of fighters from their support wizard. Then I cast suggestion on the wizard outside of the wall of force. I see you point on your last statement which is why I reworded it a few posts above to the following: You may cast a concentration...

Even if the overall effect of altering the spell from concentration to 1 round isn't noticeably overpowered I think a restriction of advantage on saves or an increase by one caster level is fair compensation for versatility...you think?

To be clear, the intent wouldn't be able to maintain the Wall of Force, the first spell, for an additional round. It would be to get the effect of a second spell for one round (treated much like a command spell for example) without losing the concentration of the first spell, in this case the...

Okay, I could see that as a point, what if any spell you cast that way allowed advantage to the saving throws or was cast at a higher level?

Well, it's not my campaign now is it? I personally would house rule something as I suggested above. However, I like to keep house rules down as much as possible so I want to see if I was missing something in the RAW first.

Hmm, sucks the 5e team didn't directly think of this. Okay, how does this sound for a house rule? When you cast a concentration spell while already engaged in concentrating on a spell you choose which spell to maintain concentration on. The other spell lasts until the beginning of your next...

Well, I understand what you are saying, but I cast a spell and the DM ruled that it went off and then we rolled initiative so it doesn't matter what the RAW is regarding that.
