    Well, let's look at what he actually said. https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1105277917582389248 "As of the January edition of the Sage Advice Compendium PDF, my tweets aren't official rulings. I don't want people having to sift through my tweets for official rules calls. My tweets...

    Please go and re-read the rule from XGTE. It's talking about effects. It is not talking about actions. Actions and effects are two separate concepts. Some actions, such as Dodge and Disengage, provide effects with a duration. Not all actions do this, as each action is a specific rule that...

    The Attack action is the words in the PHB: "With this action, you make one melee or ranged attack. See the "Making an Attack" section for the rules that govern attacks." Cool, when I take the Attack action, I make an attack following the 3 steps in the "Making an Attack" section. Easy. With...

    You cannot take an action and a bonus action simultaneously, there is no wording in the PHB that allows this. You've confused the rule about simultaneous effects (from spells and the like) that specify something happens at a particular point in time, such as the start of your turn (e.g. Spirit...

    This is just not true, though. If the Attack action and Shield Master bonus action were spells that provided effects that lasted for a duration, and both explicitly said they happen at the start or end of your turn for example, then the XGTE rule would apply. They are not spells, they do not...

    Okay, I just found this in XGTE: You'll note that it specifically says "effects". This means the effect of spells. Here's an example: https://twitter.com/jeremyecrawford/status/931243403127406592 Q: Vampire Regeneration vs. Spirit Guardians? What is the order of operations for "at start of...

    I searched the PHB on the D&D Beyond mobile app, and there are zero instances of "simultaneous" or "resolved". There are a couple of instances of "resolve", but they're all in things like Inspiring Leader: "You can spend 10 minutes inspiring your companions, shoring up their resolve to fight."...

    What "rules that are not rules" did I quote in my post? My starting assumption was simple: in order for you to be able to do something in combat, there must be a rule that says you can do that thing. If we can't agree on that, then there isn't much point in continuing this debate really. The...

    Please read my long post from earlier today, these are not general rules that apply to all actions. Each action is a self-contained rule, everything you need for each action is in the text of the action itself. Disengage has no bearing on how the Attack action works.

    I’m not familiar with that rule, can you list the PHB text or provide a reference to it?

    Can you show me where it says you can just shove a creature on the list of valid actions in the "Actions in Combat" section of the Combat chapter of the PHB? That section provides the rules for what you can do on your turn, I've read it a bunch of times and I haven't seen anything that says you...
