1. This is not natural laws of physics -----> Caster casts true strike. Wiggles their fingers. A magical force guides their hand and sword toward the enemy 2. I don't believe the rule you are quoting means that spells cannot cause any non-physics breaking effects. I take it to mean that they...

I think you’d still see arguments it was a spell attack. That’s part of why I don’t find that line of reasoning persuasive.

The simplest OP character I know was the 2014 Battlemaster Fighter with Precision Attack manuever, Sharpshooter and Crossbow Expertise and a single hand crossbow. A Bear totem Barbarian in 2014 that reckless attacks with Great Weapon master was also really strong. Any well built wizard was...

Casters should multiclass for shields and armor or other spells. For Divine Smite. Martials often stop progressing much at level 5 or a little after. Most of them can be safely multiclassed any time after that for whatever abilities you desire. Some particularly good abilities are...

Is this for 2024 d&d or 2014?

I’m trying to think of the opposite. If the intent was for it not to function How could it be worded to make that clear? I don’t see any good way as anything in the spell is a spell effect, thus always making the attack a spell effect.

So I agree the spell causes the attack. That doesn’t fully prove that the attack roll for that attack is from the spell. Though perhaps exploring a fictional rendition of what is happening if it were could be helpful. Caster casts true strike. Wiggles their fingers. A magical force guides...

Some context for my question, I was wanting to compare Damage output of various level 2 classes and couldn’t decide which way to treat True Strike on Sorcerers.

Question Max. Is your position that the attack with the weapon is part of the spell but the attack roll with the weapon is not? Or is your position that the attack with the weapon is not part of the spell? I don't know that either holds up to scrutiny, but especially the 2nd - as there's no...

The condition is 'attack rolls of Sorcerer spells you cast.' Trying to shorten it to 'advantage on the attack rolls' is not what it says either. The question is whether the 'one attack with the weapon used in the spell's casting' is an attack roll of a Sorcerer spell you cast or whether it is not.

In the OP: Note: the question isn't whether you would allow it at your table, but whether you think it's allowed by the rules.

Here's my issue - Attack with weapon != Attack roll of spell you cast I think too many are getting caught up on the single word attack instead of the whole phrase in both abilities.

It actually says ‘Make one attack with the weapon.’ ie. with the weapon, not with the spell.

The case against advantage. The target of true strike is self. Under the spell targeting rules it says ‘a typical spell requires one or more targets to be affected by the spells magic.’ Thus the one being effected by the magic of true strike is the caster and not the target of the weapon...

A attack roll being made as part of a spell is not the same thing as an ‘attack roll of the spell’. If one takes the distinction of spell attack to be evidence of or defining of what is an attack roll of a spell then it most certainly would need to say those exact words. If this was a stand...

True Strike doesn’t say attack rolls ‘with a spell’, it says ‘attack rolls of spells.’ Hypothetically, If a spell said make a melee attack. Add 1d8 damage on a hit, would you say that attack roll was of the melee attack or was of the spell?

Does the Sorcerer's Innate Sorcery feature cause the attack made with the True Strike cantrip to have advantage? Note: the question isn't whether you would allow it at your table, but whether you think it's allowed by the rules. Innate Sorcery An event in your past left an indelible mark on...

Those ratios mostly look better IMO. I don't know what the exact sweet spot should be but my gut says that's probably okay. I was assuming you would set the x in damage to whatever made sense. I'm not sure if your damage is DPR or before accuracy adjusted here. I'd have to work through the...

That's just some peoples definition of fun. I know I know... but it really is. They find joy in your aggravation.
