Neither did the original Shield Master tweet from 2015, which is kind of my point. That tweet was a ruling. JEC has since said that ruling was incorrect, and has provided a new ruling with a more detailed explanation of why the original ruling was incorrect. War Magic is a completely...

That's a pretty biased interpretation of the tweet, to use your terminology. What about all the other tweets where he explicitly says that the bonus action has to happen after the condition, and provides the reasons why that's the case? That is, that this is the only logical answer based on...

My rule of thumb is pretty simple: if the players want to push the boundaries with things like this, then I just give the same feat to the monsters. Oh, you want to shove first and attack with advantage? Cool, my monsters get to do that as well. I like to add class features to monsters to...

Because the VTTs are terrible compared with D&D Beyond's character sheet? When we're sitting around the table and everyone has their tablets tracking their character sheet, and I have D&D Beyond up on my laptop, why shouldn't I be able to easily see the characters in the party? Sure, I could...

Same here, once you've made the first attack nothing can prevent you from taking the Attack action. Extra Attacks can come later if you have them, which makes the feat slightly more powerful at higher levels.

Okay, fair enough. There is a pretty big difference between the two features though, because I'm not aware of any mechanical advantage from doing a weapon attack before casting a cantrip, while there is absolutely a mechanical advantage (quite literally) to shoving someone prone before all your...

I'm with you on everything here. The SAC has an official ruling on how Shield Master works. It's advice, the DM can ignore it. No argument there, I've said many times that I am playing it as attack-shove-attack in my games. The part that I don't understand is how people are latching onto a...

They don't even have enough staff to implement the things they'd like to do for 5E in a timely manner, so I can't imagine they'd be able to support a whole second game system on top of that as well. I love D&D Beyond and have completely switched over to using it for all my games, but there's a...

I'm very much in the "I guess they could, but I hope they don't" camp. I wouldn't be surprised if they release an expansion for their campaign guide for each season they do (e.g. "Critical Role: Wildemount Campaign Setting" and so on). I didn't buy the first one and don't think I would ever...

Watching on YouTube at 1.25x or 1.5x speed makes it much easier, I usually go with 1.25x which shaves off nearly an hour per episode. It's amazing how quickly you get used to it, I can barely stand watching it at normal speed now.

Or, you know, he's in charge of a rules system that has, you know, its own rules. It's a turn based game with reactions, which means each turn has to be played one step at a time. You can keep quoting Wikipedia all you like, but that doesn't change the fact that in the 5E rule system...
