I still remember when we were talking about 5e as a new system, looking at all the classes, feats, etc. and comparing them to what we were used to with Pathfinder. It was obvious at the time that Shield Master was designed to let you knock a target down before you hit him, because waiting until...

I completely agree with you there.

Yes, and I find the "I was drunk in line at Trader Joes, tweeting" hypothesis to be amusing enough, but the fact remains that he didn't change his mind for a couple of years after that. He might think of it as a "finishing move" now, but he didn't back then, and I personally think if it had been...

The sanctuary spell stops you from targeting. You have performed no part of an attack. Nothing at all has happened, so you have not (in the new Crawfordverse) taken the attack action. Remember the whole "declarations don't count" thing?

Where are you seeing this? I'm not finding it on YouTube or among the twitch videos from today.

You first sentence is only true if you accept Jeremy's new position on timing, whereas your last sentence is only true if you reject his new position. You can't have it both ways.

Neither the Sage Advice compendium nor Jeremy's Twitter feed count as "rules as written," and with regard to "rules as intended" Jeremy has changed his mind. Yes, he has and is vigorously disavowing his earlier statement that Shield Master was intended to let you shove first, but the fact...

You don't, though. Honestly, you don't have to defer to Jeremy Crawford or Mike Mearls or anyone else. There are the published rules, there are your table's rules, and everything else is just advice. Jeremy can't change the rules on Twitter, or even through a Sage Advice pdf. The rules only...

Nor do they forbid it. That puts the resolution in the realm of a ruling, not the rules. You're certainly welcome to read the rules in the most restrictive manner, but I don't. If a character can bamf-zap-zap, or zap-zap-bamf, then zap-bamf-zap seems perfectly reasonable. Similarly, if you...

It would depend on how Eldritch Blast is handled at the table. You can read it to say that all the beams are created at once, even if they are resolved individually. The caster would target all the beams before resolving any of them, and couldn't do anything between beams. We don't read it that...

Is it not the case that you can (for an action that is not instantaneous, like dodge) divide your action with pretty much anything that can be done on your turn? Movement, flourish, interaction, communication, Reaction... all of those can be done between attacks in an Attack Action, certainly...
