Because if those thp are lost before the Glamour Bard has a chance to renew the thp that cannot be done. Cutting Words can be done in response to a large threat while preemptively granting thp can be whittled away through minor threats. This also gets back to the Cutting Words preventing...

It was a clarification in the DMG Errata. That's how magic item DC's etc are calculated. It's minimum reqs.

Truestrike is a cantrip that does damage using a weapon attack as part of the cantrip. 5.24 Agonizing Blast can select a Warlock cantrip to which it applies. Other effects that trigger on a weapon attack can be added because of that component of the cantrip. The issue I have with the scrolls...

It shouldn't really matter. This is how Fast Hands has changed: Fast Hands can be used to take the Magic action required to cast a spell from a magic item. The PHB does tell us that using a spell scroll falls under casting a spell without using a spell slot, however, which would be that...

Not only that, it also relates to shine moments. The wizard looks good casting fireball each day. The martial looks good doing single target damage most of the day. Fireball is useful for clearing out some trash mobs, but it's not what deals with the BBEG. There are too many monsters with...

Nick also states "You can make this extra attack only once per turn." In the monk example, unarmed strike as a bonus action is something that's available regardless of what action the monk took. Nick as an attack that doesn't need a bonus action doesn't change that because that bonus action...

I see someone else already posted, but it's under Unarmed Strike rules. I had the same issue because it wasn't in the rules glossary or combat section and found it reading other parts of the PHB. That's something that could have been better referenced.

Yes, but they can't time it with the Fireball and the AoE damage prevention can affect more targets. A reaction has more control over when that damage is prevented instead of the tho. There are others sources of Thp as well that can be used with Cutting Words while Glamour cannot stack those...

Anyone can still trip or push. They use Shove and give up damage for it. It's not common but it's still there.

It doesn't have to. In an opposed check a BI die can be given out to a PC while the Lore bard can also use Cuttiing Words. That's 2 BI dice but it's also essentially double the effect if it's needed. Bardic Inspiration doesn't prevent direct damage and only BI from a Valor bard can increase...

I like all of the bard subclasses in the 2024 PHB. Dance bards are going to eat through uses of Bardic Inspiration using Tandem Footwork but it's a strong ability and easy to apply. I like Inspiring Movement because it's a very tactical ability. Lore bards seem to get a lot of being a bard...

A person cannot do it easily every round because it's still gated by spell slots and concentration applied to typical buffs. Every spell used that way is a spell not used offensively. Meanwhile, the argument was that it allowed for 2 spells in a round. This is true. So does an offensive...

I'm thinking more like Dagger using a combination of her grace, speed, and agility as a dancer combined with her supernatural abilities. Radiant powers of light, healing, and hope on a character who applies dancing to her combat moves seems pretty accurate to use as an inspiration.

Yeah, I think people who look at the Dance bard as a melee style because of that damage are missing the mark on how it plays.

How is that different than casting an offensive spell on an opponent with the feat?

"Weak" is both relative and subjective. It just depends on the comparison being made and what the person doing the comparison values. For example, I think a d6 free attack restricted by the number of uses of Bardic Inspiration at 3rd level on a build that splits CHA and DEX is typically only 3...

Normally it's 1 attack either way. Nick states that the attack can only be made once per turn. What Nick does is saves the bonus action for something else. Monks, however, keeping the bonus action for something else includes an unarmed strike (or Flurry of Blows) separate from the attack...

Doesn't seem OP to me. This was already a thing. Might see errata here. It's essential 1 extra attack. That doesn't seem really OP to me, but it is good. Not sure about this yet. I expect the ability will require the full casting time of the spell replicated.
