[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7543489, member: 6919838"] Point me to the 24/7 part. Over and over is not 24/7. I can watch Deadpool over and over but after just a couple in a row, I am worn out. I can eat Hershey Lisses over and over, but not 24/7. You are inserting the 24/7 to create the perception. Sigh... and the rules for striking things with weapons dont say the weapon will take damage and break down from repeated use any more than the cantrip spell says you get tired after 1000 cantrips - but we have an example in the dmg talking about ruling. In the context of that rules sections - the difference between slot spells and cantrips is made clear but its takes a particular intent to find a problem to read that as thousands and thousands of cantrips with no fatigue or other issues. Consider this - in that world you imagine can folks makes gestures for hours on end without getting tired? Filibuster on end for hours without getting tired? Cantrips require one or both every casting but yet somehow you construe that saying over and over means forever? Man, a 1st level wizard can talk non-stop for 1000 years eithout flinching then- or until the Xanathars rule hits him for lack of sleep/rest. Having taught classes with gesture and speaking for hours - not near speaking every six seconds, I would say your imagining of what that rule means is way off... especially given the rules. But if that floats your game boat, all power to you. Carry on. [/QUOTE]
