[QUOTE="Noctem, post: 6772894, member: 6801315"] I've been given 1 question by Arial Black to consider, after suggesting like.. 6, and have explained exactly why I don't think it's a reliable question to ask. Good god, you talk like if I've been suggested 30 and have refused every single one. Listen to yourself. Is Magic Missile the only spell which has its attacks resolved simultaneously? A: Yes. What does this mean? 1. No other spell currently published has its attacks resolve simultaneously. Arial Black's claim that Eldritch Blast does so is therefore proven incorrect. This also supports JC's earlier tweet that specifies that unless the spell itself says attacks are resolved simultaneously (like Magic Missile does) then they are not by default. 2. This also explains that just because a spell has the instantaneous duration, that its attacks are not resolved simultaneously by default and instead follow the Making an Attack rules like every other spell attack. Arial Black's claim that instantaneous duration means simultaneous attacks is therefore shown to be incorrect. 3. Further questions can be asked if needed. IF the answer is NO: 1. That means that spell attacks don't have to specify they are resolved simultaneously. 2. It contradicts the earlier answer from JC which explained that a spell has to specify that its attacks are resolved simultaneously and opens up further discussion. 3. A list of spells which do resolve simultaneously beyond Magic Missile can then be tabled and discussed. 4. We can see if all instantaneous duration spells are resolved the same way or only some. To prove or disprove this claim from Arial Black. 5. Further questions can be asked as needed. Now explain to me again why the question isn't good? [/QUOTE]
