Right, as long as only one of the spells is cast expending a spell slot. So, no more casting two fireballs a round with action surge. The jury is still out on how this rule interacts with magic items. Could you still cast fireball from a wand or scroll, then cast another with action surge in...

He's talking about this on the actual product description, which is standard for all the older stuff reprints, and is triggering for certain ... people: The last sentence should probably be clear indication to Randall that his request will not be granted.

“On a turn, you can expend only one spell slot to cast a spell. This rule means you can’t, for example, cast a spell with a spell slot using the Magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn.” At the 38 minute mark in this video: Right, but going by the above, you could...

Not a change to a specific spell, but an interesting change is the following (from Treantmonk’s first PHB video): Many people are interpreting this to mean any free castings of a leveled spell that some classes/races get don’t count for this restriction. So a ranger could cast Hunter’s Mark...

Yeah, Treantmonk on Youtube has mentioned he’s ready to start posting more info as soon as the NDA period is up

I think it will, as an attacker wouldn’t want to shoot with Disadvantage if they can help it. Note I’m not suggesting it’s Disadvantage simply for shooting into melee, but only if there’s an interposing creature. If both the archer and melee guy are at the 12 o’clock position of any enemy, one...

I’m in the camp that a friendly-fire rule is more of a balancing rule for ranged attackers than a “realism” adjustment. At the same time, I’d want to keep it simple. If you have to shoot through a space of a creature between you and the target and you fumble, you hit the other creature. Roll...

And green four-leaf clovers...

But that subclass would automatically be better than any other subclass ... of any class!

Here's the next upcoming video, which surprisingly isn't a class. Anyone have a more comprehensive list of what's coming out next week?

Perhaps that's changed in the MM update as well.

At 12:00 PM ET, you'll see.... the countdown to the video start!

You laughed at my post about an Int boost, but I know people who play this way. Who want an interesting character that's more than their DPR. A +1 to an odd numbered Wis can also boost ubiquitous Perception rolls, among other skills, and add a +1 to Saves. That's not a bad thing. And even a...

Also, a Wis or Cha caster who has a scholarly bent would probably be glad to take a +1 Int to boost relevant skill rolls.

Given that the DMG has rules for custom backgrounds, a willing DM can work with a player to "customize" with the bare minimum of effort by simply swapping a attribute, skill or feat from one of the prefabs, without having to create a whole new background. In my game, I'd just ask the player to...

By making the ASIs a feat now, I wonder if that will cause players, especially newer ones, to consider taking a another feat instead more often than they do in the current rules. In the end it's not really different choice than before, but by making an ASI "just another feat" - I'm guessing the...

Rules are in the DMG.
