D&D 5E (2024) Not a fan of the new Eldritch Knight

Let me refer you back to the wording of the spell. It says "The suggestion must sound achievable". It does not say "The suggestion must be achievable." So, none of that is relevant in any way after it has been been shown that it generally can be done.

Oh, you're one of those guys who wants to twist wording to win D&D. They can do the impossible, so long as it SOUNDS achievable.

I'm done here. Enjoy gaming the way you like it.

To clarify, the only reason why I am pushing back is because I don't tolerate anyone dictating to others what is right or wrong or default or normal in a game or anywhere else when it hurts no one.

Dude. I literally said, more than once now, that you should have fun playing your way. Nobody, especially me, was dictating to you how to play your game. I'm talking RAW here in this thread, not your changes to it.

I did not use the word resistance. I said that these conditions are the most often resisted - because a comparable adjective to immunity does not exist - and then went on in the next sentence to provide numbers concerning the immunities. It is quite strange that concerning the statement about Summon Dragon and Telekinesis, you were incapable to identify that those were talking about two separate features of the Chronurgy Wizard and took the paragraph as one unit and now you do the very opposite.

You know, "sorry, I misunderstood" is a totally acceptable answer.

I'm going to side with @ECMO3 on this one. Resistance has meaning in 5e and you cannot use the word resisted in the way you did and expect people to think of immunity instead of resistance. He misunderstood because you used imprecise language that was virtually guaranteed to confuse people.

"Sorry, I can see how what I said was really confusing" is also a totally acceptable answer.

Yes, because differentiating between something that "sounds achievable" and something that "is achievable", hence acknowledging that two different words have different meanings is "twisting wording".

Finally!

Dude. I literally said, more than once now, that you should have fun playing your way. Nobody, especially me, was dictating to you how to play your game. I'm talking RAW here in this thread, not your changes to it.

Again, you're not talking RAW in this thread. You're talking your opinion about RAW and you try to dictate to others that your opinion about RAW is what everyone else has to regard as RAW as well. So, no, especially you try to dictate to others what the rules are. It's not your place! Sure, you can voice your opinion. You can voice your interpretation. But telling others that you held the definitive truth and that anyone who disagrees with you is "making changes to RAW" is exactly the problematic attitude I was talking about. And even in this last post, you couldn't agree to disagree and had to stress "I'm talking RAW" like you knew better what that is.

I'm glad you let me know who you sided with. It really changed how I look at things.

But yes, if that had been the one and only issue, sure, yeah. But after the 7-attacks-situation and given the situation with Arcane Abeyance and Convergent Future, I can also see that he was conveniently easily confused or is easily confused in general. It creates a behavior pattern. And didn't he say

There is not an actual charm resistance that I know of, but Fey Lineage gives you advantage on Charms.

and

Poison resistance gives you advantage on saves against poison, that does not matter because there is no save in Selune's Viper.

, thus two things that he knew didn't apply to the topic at hand? And he was still confused?! If that is "really confusing", it explains quite a lot.
