[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9617666, member: 15882"] I see the argument that true strike is the same as Shillelagh. But looking at it, The only reason True Strike is not the same as Shillelagh is, once you cast the Shillelagh, the weapon is doing the damage and you can take multiple attacks. The spell truly modifies the damage and attacks are divorced from the act of spellcasting. If true strike were doing the same thing, you’d be able to also take multiple attacks with the weapon true strike is modifying. You cannot. You can only attack once because it’s 1 action magic action. So, I feel you’re just casting a spell. Not sure how that interacts with anything in the discussion since I didn’t think you could sneak attack with spells. Edit: this is just one constant issue with 5e in general where the fluff of spells has almost nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the spell. Like….why does true strike let you do radiant damage?? [/QUOTE]
