[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7318887, member: 6776887"] This is not about casters needing help. This is about a faster spell, less powerful spell causing a double whammy by further restricting options on a spellcaster's turn --- something that I think does not need to be there. The rule does not have to be more complicated: ...If you also use your Action to cast a spell, it must be a cantrip. It is shorter and allows reaction spells, and Sage Advice can clarify that Action Surge allows any spell with a casting time of one action. I already said that I use this as a house rule. I know that I can do that. Asking the same question slightly differently, "Are there any scenarios where this does not make sense or the BA rule restriction on reaction spells and Action Surge spells actually provides a benefit to the players, DM, or game?" I keep on asking because I am looking for that scenario that has me reconsider the house rule. As I said before, I am in these long threads for learning, not for arguing or "winning". What I am looking for are scenarios where that restriction is necessary or useful, which is why I keep asking the same question. [/QUOTE]
