Mentioned earlier in the thread, there’s a “text-only” version of the rules available for free (linked on their site). If you’re still interested in the premise, might want to give it a look. I ran a campaign with MB and had a lot of fun. It was like playing in a heavy metal Monty Python game...

Weapons will now have Masteries listed, but that's probably the only real change.

Sounds a bit like the DC represents a passive score for the attacker. Less dice rolling in round, especially for Grapple, feels like a win to me.

I think it’s mostly speculation, but one could compare the green dragon sneak peek to the 2014 version (at work now or I’d do it myself). Still a very limited example, but might offer some clues

People were looking for the humorous disclaimer other books have had since 2014

Ooo… nice

I don't see why not. I don't see how quickened would even be a factor. Edit: Reading Innate Sorcery closer (or at least, the D&D Beyond notes on it) changed my mind. It appears to only apply to Sorcery spells, so no. Edit Edit: However, I haven’t seen anything so far that indicates warlock...

Yep. Cast darkness (sorcery points) and then misty step (spell slot, or free use if you've got it) into it would still work.

I disagree. Here's the metamagic text again: "Cost: 2 Sorcery Points | When you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to change the casting time to a Bonus Action for this casting. You can't modify a spell in this way if you've already cast a level 1+...

It isn't. Check IRolledStealth's post showing the text ( post #26)

True, but they did add in the extra clause to the 2024 Quickened Spell description because they were apparently trying to clarify/prevent some shenanigans. So it's still a bit of an open question of how far they went.

Where is that taken from? I'm going off the RPGBot summary of 2024 changes that says: "Quickened Spell. No functional change, but the text is extremely explicit that you still only get one leveled spell per turn." If the summary is correct, then it was pointed out in another thread that using...

How about Yeah, in 2014 that is the way it's worded. I don't think that would change for 2024, so there's some restriction for Quicken there (as I hoped). But there are plenty of other magic items that work without indicating the user is casting a spell. Necklace of Fireballs, for example...

Nope. Because Quickened Spell has its own restriction of not being able to cast another levelled spell period, regardless of whether it uses a spell slot. But again, what does that mean for using a Quickened Spell with a Magic Item on the same turn?

Right. But does using a magic item count as casting a leveled spell?

Okay, good. Hadn't seen that info about Action Surge yet. That doesn't counter my example. Quicken fireball = Bonus Action, Wand of Fireballs = Action (Magic). Even if the Bonus Action spell is considered a Magic action, that's not the rule. It's only one spell slot expended per turn. So, as...

Do you mean like the one on the DM’s Guild that started the thread? It wouldn’t because that one is for Legacy content, which, as a new book, the 2024 PHB is not that. Or do you mean the kind of jokey disclaimers they’ve put in some books this edition?

I’m still skeptical about magic items not somehow counting as a “spell slot” when used. The new rule is balanced by the fact that slot-less spells are cantrips or “free” spells some classes/species get that aren’t that powerful (misty step for example) If a sorcerer is able to cast two 3rd...

I removed my post, because even though its not clear in the text, its been clarified in Sage Advice that “moving into” and “entering” are not the same. The first has to be voluntary, typically part of a creature’s normal movement, where “entering” does not unless the spell says otherwise. So you...
