D&D (2024) Weapon mastery

[mellored]

What kind of things can you now do with weapon mastery?

At level 7, for instance. A fighter can add push to a longbow.
At level 13, you can push, push, prone with a longbow.

Dual wielding also seems like it could be great.

A bow knocking you back and down sounds great. Not sure waiting until 13+ level makes sense but it’s a good start

You can still only use one ability at a time though, no matter how many you add to a weapon. So a Longbow could Slow, or Push, but not both on the same shot (if I’m reading it right)

At level 1, bow slows 10', but doesn't stack. Which isn't bad.

Fighter gets 3 attacks at that level and can change mastery effect on each one.

Correct.
But you get multiple attacks.

Very true. My mistake, I thought they meant stacking multiple abilities in a single shot.

Right, but since you can make more than one attack per turn, you can use a different mastery on each attack.

Yep, like I said, my bad for misunderstanding the initial point

But im curoius if three different archers all shoot a target. Does it slow it down 10 per hit since they are seperate sources?
