    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    ryan92084 You should also add in the 'and only one to let it work' the following: This means that an instantaneous spell can be dispelled, contrary to RAW. JC is still disagreeing with JC. Read more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Magic, Ready action and Fireball

    I think he's just confusing the part where someone said that instantaneous can't be dispelled because it doesn't last more than one round. The truth is that it doesn't last longer than the action used to cast the spell and further that it's because the duration itself states it can't be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    If you read the rules for making attacks you'll see that you select the target of your attack when you make the attack. Not when you cast the spell. So it would go like: Attack 1: Select target Determine modifiers Make the attack and resolve effects (including repelling blast) After the...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    Normal effects might allow for combinations of game elements which would normally be blocked because the source of the attack is a spell or whatever else. Anyway I'm looking forward to the response from JC. What was the question you asked?

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    Just because it says the attack's normal effects doesn't mean that the attack is somehow no longer magical. The errata made it so that any attack made via a spell (which Green Flame Blade IS), falls under magical attack. This means it bypasses resistance and immunity. Post errata, the normal...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    Just because one option, which you consider to be the most restrictive, is allowed doesn't mean that others are as well because they are considered less restrictive by you as well. That has nothing to do with the question at hand. Regardless, that's not the point. The spell specifies that the...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    All sneak attack requires is an attack with a finesse / ranged weapon, advantage or an adjacent ally. That's not restrictive at all compared to previous editions. It allows for interesting combinations such as being able to sneak attack with the Magic Stone spell since it allows you to make a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    lol wait so because you refuse to understand that dispel magic can't affect instantaneous spells, it MUST mean that it contradicts RAW and that Jeremy Crawford is also contradicting himself? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! OMG you're so stuck in your confirmation bias. Do you even read what...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    Again though you keep trying to bring in that instantaneous = simultaneous, the notion of time in 5e for spell resolution.. Meaning that the attacks are done simultaneously because it has the instantaneous duration. Basically, regardless of all the discussion that's been had on this subject...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    Some things could be considered to no longer proc because the attack isn't done via the normal ways. It's not via the Attack Action or any other of the melee attack sources. This is a spell granting you a melee weapon attack as part of its casting. Something which is unique I believe...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    The normal effects of the melee weapon attack could mean more or less than what you're deciding to limit it to. If the target has hex and you make the attack, you would get bonus damage from hex for example. That would then be part of "the normal effects of the attack". Stating specific...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Magic, Ready action and Fireball

    Dispel Magic cannot be used as a readied action to function like Counterspell. Learn Counterspell if you want to stop spells from being cast. Dispel Magic can only interact with a spell which does not have the instantaneous duration. Dispel Magic also only interacts with magical effects, it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock and Repelling Blast

    We got the official response earlier. If the trigger is an attack, you can resolve your readied action between multiple attacks within the same action. However, that doesn't mean any of the other stuff you just posted is true. There's really no need to keep posting this, we read it the first...

    Urban Horror In A Corrupt City: A Setting & Adventure Path for 5E, Pathfinder, and S&W

    Well that's neat. I'll do that for now then in the hopes that my small contribution means getting what I want.

    Urban Horror In A Corrupt City: A Setting & Adventure Path for 5E, Pathfinder, and S&W

    If I do decide to pledge now, without the guarantee that the 5e hardcover will become available, will I be able to back out should that stretch goal fail to be met later? And although it does feel like 5e was omitted, maybe on purpose because they weren't sure of the appeal, the NPC kickstarter...
