The spell forces you to make a melee weapon attack or it fails. They're not separate distinct actions.

Maybe that is the problem here. I don't play in murder hobos for hire games. Pregnant women are far more capable of than you (and your group(s)) give them credit it seems. I hope you meant... antagonist?? :D

Interesting position. To me, it's not about skill at lying vs. truth. It's telling a convincing lie or targetted omission of the truth to get what you want vs. using the right arguments/rhetoric/appeals to the heart to convince someone to get your way. I've known quite a few people who suck...

Dear lord, thank you for finding that. Now that I know about it, I'm NOT going to pretend I don't know about that tweet because it directly answers people who would split hairs on this. This is an instance where the wording is being made too much of in the GFB and BB spells in terms of what...

Well, for one thing, Bard isn't a new class. It's been around since 1e. It has always been billed as a dabbler in spells (like everything else) though still full powered caster (i.e. CL) and that it was in actuality casting either Druid or Wizard spells depending on the edition, so overlap is...

I did, I just don't remember what it had back then! I have the files around somewhere though...

It's been so long... what did you like about the playtest version so much?

... wh... huh?

You can only Twin a spell. Booming blade lets you make a melee attack rather than a spell attack. Just like spell attacks get twinned, the melee attack gets twinned.

You can't segregate the spell into components like that. Firebolt: Make a ranged spell attack against the target. Shocking Grasp: Make a melee spell attack against the target Booming Blade: As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one...

I use the Xanathar's rules on tool/skill interactions. Usually, it's advantage. I shrug at this one. It depends on if there is a reason not to let them. Usually, I'll allow it. Deception check. They are being deceptive because the character also knows they don't have much money and the...

I already pointed you to the quote from Crawford. He wouldn't say you can twin it without letting you do the full effects of the spell. That would be pointless.

To this I reply with this: Twin gives you the full mechanics of the spell. Booming Blades mechanics include making a melee attack.

You obviously don't know what training for a marathon entails. It's not running one time. The training plan I use is comprised of 435 miles of total training plus cross-training (i.e. swimming or biking or something) plus Strength & Core training (i.e. weights, resistance training...

You know that pregnancy lasts a long time right? I've run half-marathons with friends who were pregnant at the time. Babies came out fine. Woman ran Marathon 8 months pregnant. I think your views of what a fictional pregnant female fighter might be capable of doing are... lacking.

He has. His response here He just references the rules of Twinned Spell: "Twinned Spell test: can the spell affect only one creature at the spell's current level, and is its range not self? If yes, TS works." Ergo, you can Twin Booming Blade. No caveats on it. You twin it. You make two...

Twinned Spell directly breaks the action economy. Booming Blade lets you attack as part of the casting. D&D Rules base assumption is explicit trumps general. Twin Spell and Booming Blade are two examples of explicit trumping the general of action economy. This isn't hard.

Metamagic could easily be Invocation(s). I don't mean each one as a separate invocation. I mean a list of Metamagic just as we have it now with top-level Invocations like this: Metamagic: When you take this invocation, you gain Sorcery points equal to your Warlock level used to power your...

People are over thinking this. Booming Blade is a single target, non-self spell. Therefore you can Twin it. What does the Booming Blade spell say? You target a creature with a melee attack because you "must make a melee attack". If it hits, it deals weapon damage + additional thundering...

I've been in 3-4 games in 25+ years that had a pregnancy, etc. depending on how you count it. In one the DM was very adversarial, so when the PC who was a DMG 3.0 Witch class cast a spell, he made the player roll for negative magical effects on the baby. Which didn't seem very fair to any of...
