When you cast your spell, if the target fails its Wisdom save, then for the next hour you have Advantage on those checks (take the higher of 2d20, and then add your Charisma bonus). However the DM would tell you to convince the enemy normally, you use the same procedure while the spell is active - it should probably involve the Deception or Persuasion skill - and now you have Advantage because the enemy is your friend. The spell doesn't let you do anything that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do if you'd just rolled well.It's kind of the same, but they don't want you to think of it that way. There's a thing called an Action, and that's pretty much the same as the old Major Action. There's a thing called a Bonus Action, which is a lot like the old Minor Action, except most people don't have anything to do with their Bonus Action so you just forget about it unless you specifically have an ability that requires a Bonus Action to use. Some spells - Healing Word, for example - can be cast as a Bonus Action. Even if you have a lot of abilities that can be used as a Bonus Action, you're still limited to one Bonus Action per round (just like a Minor Action).Movement isn't an action type, anymore, but it's kind of its own resource. Like, you have a budget of 30 feet of movement on your turn, and you can split that up however you feel like - move 10 feet, then take your Action to attack, then move another 20 feet - or you can spend half of your movement to stand up if you're prone. As an Action, you can increase your movement for the round by another 30 feet.</blockquote>
