[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6789656, member: 6801315"] Both my my first and second points were in regards to your custom (theoretical if you prefer) version. I was explaining what your changes would mean if it was really worded that way to cover all the bases. And again, you still don't understand that the properties of the weapon you're using or [B]any factor[/B] beyond the fact that the SPELL is letting make the ATTACK doesn't matter for determining if the attack bypasses or not. It's like you're glossing over the fact that the errata is talking about SOURCES of attacks. [B]Spells, Magical Items, Magical Sources[/B]. Not weapon properties, attack effects, damage dice, damage type. You're completely stuck on item properties and attack effects, damage type and so on. If you can't see beyond this point nothing I say will get through to you. You're even now changing the words in the spell text to justify your point of view. The 1d6 nonmagical slashing damage that you just posted IS IRRELEVANT. IT doesn't matter. All that matters is the ATTACK is granted by the SPELL which is the SOURCE. You can substitute whatever the hell you want into the spell text, it doesn't matter. It's a spell letting you make an attack ERGO it bypasses. lol This is a specific beats general rules system. Something has to specifically call out that it allows a game element to bypass the general rules. Simply saying that an attack does 1d6 nonmagical slashing damage doesn't change any of the facts I've just explained to you. [/QUOTE]
