Jinx!

Solely based on reviews and reception, they might give up that style. But I think both of those sold very well, and sales are probably more important to them.

My predictions: Red Wizards of Thay/Venger campaign, Undead-themed splatbook, Bloomburrow setting, Dark Sun slipcase, and/or adventure anthology based on the World Tree

When it comes to grids and distances, I generally use a "close enough" rule

Reading through this and trying to spot the differences, I realize how many little rules from 2014 I have forgotten.

Not that I could find, other than the grapple rules. Interestingly, I noticed a small unrelated detail when looking at the movement rules: diagonal movement no longer costs extra speed.

I believe that "The first time" qualifier applies to the entire phrase "a creature enters its web on a turn or starts its turn there" and not separately to the two parts. In other words, it only makes the save once, because there's only one "first time" fulfilled by either entering the web on a...

I would rule yes at my table. After all, there's no rule against casting a cantrip as an action and then a different one as a bonus action on the same turn

I think the eldritch knight ability only lets you replace one attack with a cantrip.

It's the same as 2014!

There's no actual specific guidance about older subclasses (unlike older species and backgrounds, which get a sidebar). Older subclasses would get resolved from the wording of the feature, as far as I can tell. At level 3, you get the subclass feature, not earlier. I think the last sentence of...

The unseen attacker rules are gone. And I believe, given the text and context of Hide, it is primarily geared towards combat, or placing an ambush. Noncombat hiding would just be a regular stealth check. I agree though, that unintentional absurdity results one way or another RAW.

As long as you remain unseen, you get the advantages specified in the Invisibility condition. I.e., you stay behind the cover or in the darkness, or you move out in a way so you are not in the enemy's line of sight. Then you get all the goodies. What takes away the benefits of the condition is...

I totally agree. The rules are a mess, and hidden and invisible should have been broken out into two things. Regarding the PHB, I was one of the lucky jerks who got one at GenCon, and I have read it cover to cover. I didn't find anything to fix our collective quandary. Either Hide is messed up...

THAT is actually, in my opinion, the greater problem presented by the 2024 rules. Hidden actually makes more sense than the spell does. I would home rule that the Invisibility granted by the spell is your typical fantasy invisibility, aka translucent. I would add text to the spell that says, "a...

On that, we agree!
