[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7204674, member: 284"] Nope, that wasn't the official twitter account, that was Chris Perkins personal twitter account. It was just collated on a site that collects twitter responses from the developers. The site itself isn't run by WOTC. [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR] I don't see how the RAW is unclear. There is a rule that limits you to cantrips when you cast a bonus action spell. Counterspell isn't a bonus action spell. Therefore, that rule doesn't apply. Very clear. Chris Perkins answer was "Rules say no." Since the rules don't say any such thing, his response doesn't apply. He was answering from memory and got it wrong. It happens. He isn't the rules guy. If you read the full response on the site you linked, it goes on to say the [B]OFFICIAL ANSWER[/B] is in the sage advice compendium, and provides a link to it. The specific response in the Sage Advice Compendium contradicts Chris Perkins' answer: [URL]http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SA-Compendium.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
