[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7216308, member: 12731"] No, Oofta is right in that Spiritual Weapon is not an actual weapon, but some effects of a spell. You can't make attacks with it (you can't even hold it), you can only spend your bonus attack to direct it to attack. So you can't use it with GFB. That said, I don't see any balance issue if your player were to use his action to cast GFB and his bonus action to direct the spiritual weapon, and to describe that as one and the same attack. Especially since this would actually be less effective than the RAW routine, since now you're making only one attack instead of two. (But given a Cleric with low enough Strength and Dexterity, and they might be willing to give up a hopeless attack of their own). So RAW/RAI no but RAF why the ell not :) [/QUOTE]
