I was not asking what capital-A Action was taken, I was asking what action is taken as the reaction

it easily exceeded the 2014 launch, heck the 2014 books exceeded that every year since then. WotC told us it was the fastest selling book (2024 PHB), and the 2014 PHB wasn’t even the second fastest by then. That is not a statement they make without some data to back it up, and it certainly...

that does not answer what action is being taken as a reaction…

nvm

nah, it’s because of spells with a casting time of bonus action or reaction

wasn’t directed at you, but since you replied… ;) What action is being taken as the reaction in this paragraph (bolded ‘action’ by me for clarity) “First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your Reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in response to that trigger...

while I agree with the sentiment, it is not the metric I would use for this ;)

The more this goes on, the more I think I had the right idea in the ‘what does your 6e look like’ thread when I wrote we need a better action economy than action, bonus action, and reaction ;)

why is that even a given, if anything it should be a given that it is selling more. You have about the same number of new players, and you have a large portion of your existing players buying the new edition (over a period of time, as their campaigns wrap up). For that matter, 2014 sales grew...

wait, are you saying you are not using the Magic Action at all when you Ready a spell, not even as a reaction?

so? Should we only have picture books then so a three year old does not feel left out? Requiring a certain level of understanding is not gatekeeping, we do this all the time for all kinds of things so create a game for the illiterate then, not everything has to appeal to the lowest common...

and how many people that run the adventure will know of the video? Having a video in addition is fine by that logic they should have included maps and tokens only It’s one thing to give me the option to make it my own and have a few suggestions how, it is another to force me to because there...

they are not casting spells though, they take the Magic action with an item and replace the Magic action with the Ready action

not exactly a ringing endorsement…

which specifically says you cast the spell as normal, so… the exception is that you do not release the energy immediately but hang on to it, not how the spell is being cast, and the normal way to cast a spell is to use the Magic action, in fact it is required to cast the spell per the...

yeah, that is where your confusion comes from. It is not a proper action, it is a meta-action / rider on another action, which is why it makes you choose a proper action you actually take. None of the others do that, because they are actual actions… Ready is just grouped here because it is...

yeah, that is your interpretation, I consider it clearly wrong. This will not get resolved…

you don’t, Ready is not a proper action

ok, still much more restrictive than every single spell with casting time action across all levels

all it says is that you cast the spell as normal, and the normal way to cast it is to use the Magic action… the exception is that you use concentration to delay the spell’s effect until the trigger occurs
