[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6770095, member: 6801315"] The people saying these things are totally out of touch with the rules they are trying to discuss. What you've been quoting is complete proof of that. Keeping the spell active? What does that even mean within the context of the 5e rules? It's these kinds of invented terms that we have to watch out for because they lead to confusion for people reading these threads. You can't just invent rules to solidify your argument people, doesn't work that way. Attacks are resolved in sequence. When you make an attack you pick the target of that attack. This is true for ALL attacks within 5e, they can be weapon, spell, item, etc.. it doesn't matter. All are handled the exact same way EXCEPT when specifically stated to work differently. Magic Missile is the exception, not the general rule. Instantaneous duration is described in the PHB. GO READ IT. You will find that the description says that a spell with that duration cannot be dispelled, that it is cast and resolved within a short span of time which is why it can't be dispelled (but it can be Counterspelled!!!) and that's it. No simultaneous attacks nonsense, none of the other invented stuff that's being tied to this word. Don't fall for the houserules of other people like if it's rules text. read the PHB. [/QUOTE]
