Does pact of the Tome let you choose new rituals each time you summon it (i.e. each short rest)?
Or just once you get the feature?

Each time, it seems. "The book disappears if you use this feature to conjure another book..."

How far away can you hear a verbal spell being cast?

 

[DavyGreenwind]

Did they change Fireball? Or can I still save my favorite books and pieces of paper just by picking them up before I'm hit with it?

It appears to be the same!

It doesn't specify. It just says "normal speaking voice"

Probably in the DMG then.

 

[DavyGreenwind]

I think it still does.
But it might take 2 fails saves or something.

Saw it somewhere but can't find it again.

Yeah, each creature in a 5-ft sphere, WIS save or incapacitated, and then they fall unconscious on the next turn if they fail another WIS save

Long jump includes that language, but not high jump, curiously.

So with the Athlete feat, 30' base movement, and 14 Str (+2) you can climb/jump a 100’ wall in one turn. Nice!

 

[DavyGreenwind]

Phew. Okay, that's a crisis averted. So I assume concentration checks are unchanged completely? I don't see anything online talking about it and I'm just curious if the guy was misreading a change or just made it up/pretended to know.

Nah, Concentration is the same

Haha, nope, I was wrong. High jump does cost movement as normal.

What version of Guidance did they end up going with?

Concentration. Touch a willing creature and choose a skill, and the creature can add 1d4 to all checks using it.
