That completely gets my argument wrong. The acrobatics are not part of the spell. That is correct. The guidance itself is supernatural in origin and obeys no physical laws. Just like the modification of the attack from True Strike is supernatural and obeys no physical laws. So yes, Guidance...

Not in the way the spell uses it.

The attack does not. The attack is just a swing of a dagger.

:rolleyes:

I'm sure it was. With a player base as large as D&D has, every single rule will have 20+ different versions of feedback, some contradictory. My point is that maintaining backwards compatibility meant that they couldn't fix a lot of things, because they could only really make minor changes.

The bolded is not. I agree. The attack, though, is just someone swinging a sword. I will also note that there is zero actual guidance being done in the spell. Like not even a smidge. No advantage to the attack. No bonuses to hit. Nothing. You get to use your magical stat, but that's not...

It was the anchor of backwards compatibility that they hung around their own necks. Without it, they could have made those changes.

LOL That broom gang sounds awesome. And yeah, I've never seen a Broom of Flying purchased, either. I've seen lots of Boots of Flying purchased in those games that allow magic item buying. And the occasional Flying Rug.

I mean, sure. It's not like I haven't quoted it 3 or 4 times in the last few pages, but I guess I can do it again for you. Here it is taken from post #97. "The effects of a spell are detailed after its duration entry. Those details present exactly what the spell does, which ignores mundane...

Yeah. The change to the spell made the name nonsense. The spell as written does not help you strike true. It does radiant damage which is completely different. You still haven't answered how you think an attack with a weapon breaks the natural laws of physics. If it doesn't break the natural...

No. If you have tunnel vision, sure. I also said the attack had to be part of the spell like it says in the Sorcerer ability.

I'm following the OP's request to comment on how the language works. I couldn't care less if sorcerer's are given the ability to use True Strike with their class feature by the DM. It's not broken or even over powered.

No I'm not implying it at all. I'm saying straight out that you can. You just need a specific beats general situation like True Strike. It doesn't matter. The weapon isn't part of the spell. It's a component. The attack is not part of the spell, because it's not part of the spell's effect...

5.5e PHB.

"The effects of a spell are detailed after its duration entry. Those details present exactly what the spell does, which ignores mundane physical laws." Your mundane attack is being modified by the spell which adds guidance based on your force of personality. The spell modifies the attack. The...

Nobody is arguing that it doesn't modify the attack. Modifying the attack, though, is different from the spell being the attack.

Swinging the sword as a specific beats general exception to having to take the attack action. It's like War Caster feat allowing you to cast a spell as your OA. Or the Bladesinger ability to cast a cantrip as part of the attack action. These are exceptions to the rules, but are not magical in...

The attack is not made using the magic of the spell, though. The only magic of the spell is the radiant damage. Per RAW, for something to be part of the spell's effect, it has to break a mundane law of physics and the attack isn't doing that. It's not using the attack action, but neither is...
