[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7277512, member: 6779196"] It’s not a timeframe, it’s a window of opportunity in the game mechanics. Once you finish a long rest, you have a window of opportunity to take any game-mechanical actions that say you must take them when you finish a long rest. You must then close that window of opportunity before taking any game-mechanical actions that do say you must take them when you finish a long rest. Think of it like Magic: the Gathering (also made by WotC.) The upkeep step doesn’t have a limited amount of time, nor a limited number of upkeep triggers you are allowed o perform. But you can’t move on to your draw step or main phase until you’ve decided you’ve done everything you wanted to do in your upkeep and advance the turn, And those DM’s are free to make that house rule if it suits their games, but it is not in accordance with the rules as written (they say “when”, not “after”) nor the rules as intended (see Jeremy Crawford’s Tweet). Same thing that happens in Magic when you have multiple abilities that trigger on your upkeep. You do them all before moving on to your next window of opportunity for action. [/QUOTE]
