D&D (2024) Warlock cantrips

[UngeheuerLich]

why would a mix and match warlock use the arcane list not 'any warlock spell'... if it is mix and match what makes the 2024 book supersede the 2014 one?

Common sense?

For me, only if they’re level gated. I don’t think you should be able to master all theee boobs at level 1.

this made me titter!

This is why class features as spells is a bad idea; it gives the rules lawyers more ammunition to play pedantic word games.

yeah total word games to expect that after 10 years of warlock cantrips being cantrips warlocks can take, to read a warlock cantrip as a cantrip warlocks can take...

OR instead because it's needlessly complicated.

Common sense?

if sense were common more people would have it...

but I mean come on, I agree the intent was most likely (I would say I am 80% sure) not to be able to take them... but there are plenty of good faith readings that would confuse or even contradict that.

Yes. But then, common sense should kick in and tell you, that those 3 canteips replace the old pacts...

yeah most likely they are not meant to be cantrips but someone decided "make as many things a spell as you can on spell casteres" (see scribing a spell for wizards) and so the terms are a little muddy

I feel like someone thought it would make them feel more 'magical' if they couldn't accomplish anything without a discreet magical spell. Writing, handling a sword, having slightly more cantrips...

This is happening because we didn't push back on Familiars being a spell.
