That is a weird hill to die on. Lets just agree to disagree here.

Your failure is assuming d&d is medieval. But next time your player wants to shoot down from a castle wall try and tell them it imoossible with their crossbow. Whatever. I remind you on the DM guidelines regarding RAW (or what you think it is).

Yes. It is you... ... of course not. The rules should just be: "You can swap weapons withing reason"

No, if you want to switch fro two weapons to bow and back, it comes in quite handy.

Two handed weapon. But yes, you can do that with (a modern) bow easily. No, the bolt does not fall of if you don't balance it carefully. Or do you disallow shooting from an elevated position at someone below you? That is also not RAW. Hint: (not Children) Crossbows have a metal thingy that...

I skipped the last stranger things product. Although I was really torn. I really wanted a German version. This time around I will get it. Especially if they dona localization.

This is intersting. The exact opposing reasoning than 5.14. I actually do like it though. This qay, the DM guide will actually have adventures in it. And secrer information. And players will get a gazetter with common knowledge.

So RAW you can't load ammo into your crossbow... RAW is not a law. And you seem to confuse RAW with TRDSYC. Just because the rules don't say you can't load a crossbow beforehand does not mean it is impossible. Just because the rules say you need a free hand to reload a crossbow before...

Do you remember the page layout of the 3e FRG? I guess the 480 pages won't cover a lot more more than the old 320 pages. We get more pictures and more whitespace for better readability. I really like the 1page adventures. In onednd days I was really fond of the low level free AL adventures...

At the time of reloading. Not at the time of shooting. Othewise bows and other crossbows were unusable as they are classified as two handed weapons.

I don't see any reason why the other hand should not be free when reloading.

Dissociative mechanic.

What seems clear to you is not. If that was the intend, why not just write: "A weapon with the loading property can only be fired once per turn."?

I never said you use the light property or anything. Lets assume quickened true strike and a non quickened one.

This is why I asked how you understand it. I think the wording is ambiguous and I wanted to follow your reasoning. And given how bad I generally think the Sage Advice is regarding rules/rulings, I think I need to make my mind up myself how I would rule. So with your interpretation, a fighter...

I understand it, that you can make 2 attacks, if you can fire it with an action first and then with a bonus action. I don't understand your logic here. One attack is never a problem. If you can do two attacks with not an action, then it becomes relevant.

It is the ammunition property that requires a free hand to load. If you use an action and a bonus action, ost one attack total or one attack per "*action"?

This is actually not really true.

I think, every martial should just get the option to use all weapon masteries. Having to switch them in the morning is dumb. Otherwise they are very fine. Especially the champion rocks.

I think a forgotten realm campaign set will sell no matter which version you play. And it might actually boost sales of the core books. Not that I like all changes, but so far the 5.24 overall give a very good experience.
