    Character Sheet review

    Suggested Add: One thing I like about the D&D Beyond character sheet that I don't often see on other sheets is Passive Wisdom (Insight).

    Here Are The Most Popular D&D Feats (War Caster Leads The Pack!)

    When casting with an engraved/emblazoned shield, I'm fairly certain that Crawford explained that presenting the holy symbol (as the material component) on the shield is the somatic component.

    True Seeing and Nystul's Magic Aura

    Truesight alone (the ability) trumps Mind Blank, but Mind Blank foils True Seeing (the divination spell). https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/729773528283779073

    True, and I'm not disputing that. The bonus action timing intent has been a mess, though it's been clarified repeatedly at this point (and people can take it or leave it). My contention was with the start and end of an action as a game unit being hard to discern. It's not. It's usually...

    As a stand alone passage, no, probably not. Within the larger context of all the action and movement rules, I don't think it's a big leap to make.

    I agree that it isn't hard coded in the text except for very specific cases (casting times beyond "1 action", for example). But given all the rules regarding the use and timing of actions and movement, there is generally a clear context to make a logical inference. Within the fiction, the...

    They are, they just don't contain whatever magical keyword(s) you're hung up on (I assume it's my use of "instantaneous" and not the action effects). Being purposefully stubborn or obtuse doesn't change the meaning of the text. Unless there's a revelatory passage or hidden subtext elsewhere...

    It's mostly self evident from the text. I say mostly because the Attack Action ambiguity regarding Shield Master could have been avoided with better writing. To be more specific, one only has to look at the rules for movement that you already quoted: You move before and after your action...

    The Attack action ends after you make your last attack or choose to forfeit any extra attacks in order to do something else (e.g. Shield Master bonus Shove attack, cast a spell, etc.) The Dodge action is instantaneous, the effect lasts until the start of your next turn. The Disengage action is...

    Planting your flag on a basic structure without considering explicit exceptions and designer commentary and clarification beyond the original source isn't terribly convincing. The oscillating "target-roll-target-roll" method may be correct for Eldritch Blast (in fact, that's how I've always run...
