[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9262415, member: 93670"] Well since you have no trouble ascribing motive for rules interpretations to me for this and a few other posts, obviously the one that makes you feel so comfortable doing so about how some GM you don't play with. That doesn't apply to booming blade or gfb. "[I]You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you[/I]" you need a fighting style that applies to cantrips because the casting time is "1-action" and you don't generally have a second action to use for making a weapon attack As I said before you ratcheted up the accusations, the situation is "a group of 4-5 with 2-3 warlock/monk PCs". Under that very clear situation the answer is always 100% going to be "yes" or "I guess " unless fiat is used by the gm to stomp it 4e at wills are a 4e thing, we are talking about 5e. Subclass is the place for a fish to develop "actions that can merge magic and martial", cantrips are a general purpose design space that is no more fitting that the martial weapons section of the weapons table for "actions that can merge magic and martial". Your repeated shift away from to talking about rules to making claims about game experience and motivation in order to avoid talk of poorly designed and poorly written sections actually says quite a lot about how poorly some of these elements are designed.
