If you take the starting package (and you should) you don't have any gold.

that basically how it works, yes. They don't miss though the creature is just no longer a valid target because it is out of range. Note: the caster can choose to have the bolts push or not so this would only occur on their own error.

I don't know why you went back and quoted that off the first page as it has nothing to do with what we were just discussing (the keying of abilities/effects like hex off GFB) as we've already discussed my position ad nauseum. Once again I do not subscribe to that logic. The "attack's normal...

Sneak attack requires all of the triggers I listed + has its own restrictions. Anything that requires the same or any number of the individual triggers of sneak attack would logically work as well. To none of the features I listed does it matter that the source of the trigger is part of a...

I was not comparing the Sneak Attack restrictions of other editions but the restrictions of other abilities/effects that could key off the weapon attack portion of GFB to Sneak Attack. To the best of my knowledge it has the most, in number and scope, and is therefore the most restrictive. If...

I directly quoted the duration section of the spellcasting chapter in my post. To which section are you referring? I continue to disagree with your dispel magic ready action argument on the basis that it is not a valid target. I will not be trying to convince you otherwise I've read both...

Sneak attack is already confirmed to work and is arguably the most restrictive of the abilities/effects that could key off GFB. http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/11/06/greenflame-blade-and-sneak-attack/

Not quite, duration is described as "the length of time the spell persists". It does not specify that it is the entire spell effect much fit this description. The magic beam or alternatively the magical effect of each beam persists for only an instant. If you, understandably, don't like...

Just to touch on this briefly. As long as the attack action isn't required everything that would normally key off a melee weapon attack, attack with a melee weapon, weapon attack, attack, or hit works on the main target regardless of your interpretation. Including Hex, Sneak Attack, Divine...

Gimul I agree with that interpretation, I tried to explain that line of reasoning earlier. Still waiting on the all mighty twitter RaI gods to declare their intentions.

@Arial Black I will continue consider 'instantaneous' to apply to the effects of the beams/the individual beams and not the whole time period of targeting/beam/damage/repeat. Nothing breaks for me with that interpretation. As for ready actions between spell attacks JC would allow them to...

Hey Sully, Arnold Schwarzenegger would like to have a word.

I feel half the people i play with are already jesters.

Indeed it does. Thank you

You might want to rewrite this part. It's either contradictory or confusing

It's closer to the latter. Weapon attack with standard weapon modifiers but as part casting of a cantrip it requires the cast a spell action. Therefore no extra attack or other features that require the attack action. For reference smite does not make the weapon damage magical by default...

RaW no RaI no RaF maybe? Up to the DM as Crawford pointed out. I wouldn't but to each their own.

That one has been answered. Not directly but in a teach a man to fish sort of way. https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/675381972101828609 Edit: spoke too soon. there is a more direct answer https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/672119193735585792

I did do a search for tweets about both GFB and booming blade, a lot has been answered about them but I couldn't find this one. I know the mearls answered that smites base attack was not automatically magical a few months ago. Unfortunately that text is different enough to not really apply here.

I don't see it as the Flame being imbued with the flames before the attack. Only after the strike do they spring out and hit a nearby target. This would explain why the target of the melee attack takes between no and significantly less (grazing) damage from the flames.
