Let's apply the Occam's razor test to each of these actions. What's the simplest explanation of each of these rules? In my opinion: In all cases, you take the action, and something instantly happens or changes. For everything but the Attack action, some effect applies for the duration (end of...

My final thoughts on the matter: I do think it's interesting that they've changed the wording about official rulings in the Sage Advice Compendium. Old: New: Based on the most recent Sage Advice video, it sounds like they're trying to avoid another situation where JEC replies to a tweet...

I'm using the word timing because that's what the bonus action rule uses. Again, JEC has made it clear that some bonus actions follow an "if X then Y" model, and X must happen before you get the bonus action Y, and that this is what the words above in bold mean in the context of the bonus...

Why does it need to? I don't understand how anyone could read that and conclude that the action doesn't take effect immediately, and thus the action itself is instantaneous. Same can be said for Dash and Dodge, at the very least.

There's not really much to argue about, JEC has make it clear that Shield Master uses the "if A then B" timing rules on many occasions. https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/994993596989300736 https://twitter.com/jeremyecrawford/status/995112448477749248 That is, you don't have the Shield...

I think it's actually pretty simple, and most actions are simply instantaneous. Attack - JEC says it ends when you've taken all your attacks. Cast a Spell - Many/most of these are instantaneous. For example, Scorching Ray has a duration of "instantaneous" despite it having 3 or more rays that...

Well, he's made it pretty clear that he didn't even remember tweeting the original tweet, so it's not particularly surprising that it took a long time to resolve the issue. The wording of the feat makes it pretty clear that it's intended to be a finishing move. When you take the Attack action...

Did you actually watch the video I've linked a few times now? He talks about his original (incorrect) tweet in some detail, and he makes it extremely clear that his original tweet was a mistake on his part. And, given that he's the lead rules designer, I think his more recent in-depth...

Right, but JEC has been fairly consistent (at least in the last few months) about what the intent of the Shield Master slam is. I'm with you that slice-shove-slice seems reasonable based on the wording, but my point is that it's a stretch to say shove-slice-slice is allowed by RAW and certainly...

I think we're in violent agreement about Shield Master, since that bonus action has timing requirements that must be met before you even have access to the bonus action. However, there are plenty of bonus actions without timing requirements, and those can be taken at any time on your turn (as...
