I’m sure they appreciate your goodwill over a product that they haven’t even announced yet. Personally I think I’ll wait to see what their actual product is, with their actual pricing including promotions and discounts, and decide whether it’s worth purchasing then. I like D&D Beyond and have...

What!?!? A company (Dialect) that wants to sell you their product? I can’t believe it. Dialect doesn’t have any skin in the game about piracy. And like I said, I think that this, along with several other digital content providers selling this content is a pretty strong argument that WotC isn’t...

Actually it sounds like a rumor/leak. Because I don’t see any announcement by Dialect or WotC yet. The point seems obvious to me if you look at what Dialect does. They are a digital content delivery company. The point, for them, would be to sell some digital content...

Well, since it appears to be their core business model and product, I’d say yes. Since Adobe isn’t in the business of publishing digital content themselves, it’s simply a product that a company like WotC could choose to use themselves. As I said, I think WotC has chosen to NOT be in the...

Perhaps it provides a stream of income for Dialect, while Beyond doesn’t? I think that a lot of assumptions are being made about a product that hasn’t even been announced by either company that stands to benefit.

So to me this sounds like a 3rd party company is making a product, and will be paying WotC licensing/royalties. Why is that important? First, because it's somebody else putting together a product that they think will appeal to gamers and that they can sell. My guess is that somebody had the...

In this proposed system expertise is proficiency bonus + ability bonus. So a maximum of +11 at 20th level.

I don't agree with what I've bolded, although it certainly doesn't mean you have to agree with me... I think passive Perception is always active. Don't forget that certain circumstances would provide advantage on that passive Perception as well. So I don't think you'd need to be heavily...

So I think that if the players can give me a reasonable explanation of how they are attempting to hide, then they can make an attempt. That chance can be modified, usually by advantage/disadvantage, but sometimes more severely if it's really a long shot. So in most combat situations, you'd have...

Yes, I've been looking at combat and non-combat cases, but hopeful that a consistent approach will work across the board. While I'm comparing to RAW, I use a slightly different rule for critical hits that incorporates the concept of "confirming" your critical hit. Instead of rolling a die...

So I suppose I'm "one of the three guys" but I think you're wrong about the cleave thing...sort of. I'll clarify below. I do object to your characterization of people being desperate conspirators and refusing to listen to reason. I spelled out my reasoning specifically so you and others could...

Oh, no. Come back from the Dark Side. That's not the case. Jeremy responded to my tweet. For some reason I can't pull up his response on the Twitter site, so I'll have to type it: My question: Can you cast a spell as a bonus action, a cantrip as an action, and a spell as a reaction in the...

And this is exactly where I’m confused. If I cast a spell as a bonus action, then somebody pushes me off a cliff, can I cast feather fall on their turn? Apparently not. I’m good with that from the standpoint that the rules for a reaction should be consistent. But because a reaction can happen...

You don’t technically lose your reaction. You can only cast a cantrip, but that cantrip must have a casting time of reaction. At least I guess that’s the answer. As I said, it doesn’t make sense to me that you can cast a full action spell, in some cases twice, and still cast a spell as a...

And it's the "that turn" part that's wonky in these rules. Because if my reaction occurs in somebody else's turn, then it's no longer "that turn." The Sneak Attack stuff clarified that a reaction to somebody else's turn is not your turn. If an opportunity attack occurs on somebody else's turn...

OK, and did you read my prior post? Because I think that it shows that it's quite possible for the rules to be interpreted just the way I thought. Because the way the rules are laid out, and the way they are seemingly explained in Sage Advice, a reaction is not (always) "on your turn." Most of...

And it would appear that according to Mr. Crawford I am wrong. This is an earlier tweet I just found - he hasn't answered mine yetL 5 Dec 2016 JeremyECrawford if I cast a bonus action spell on my turn, can I then cast "shield" as a reaction on my turn? Does PH 202 prohibit this...

OK, I'm sure this will come across as an attempt to "win." That is not the case. This is just to explain my thinking. Why I read the rule in this way. If I'm wrong, I'm OK with that. This discussion is one that makes me think (and research) the rules, which is really the sort of thing I'm...

No I am not saying you can use a reaction on your turn and I’m not arguing in bad faith. Nor do so know what sort of agenda you think I might have. Read the section on whether a rogue can use Sneak Attack more than once per round then the two answers on casting a spell on a bonus action and...

Sage advice has the info you want, go to the section on casting time: http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SA-Compendium.pdf It specifies that after you have cast a spell using your bonus action you can cast another spell as an action, but it must be a cantrips. Note that it says...
