For anyone coming later, the first half of the video is superfluous to the meme, start at 3:18. I agree with the video's interpretation of the first ruling, that that would be a reasonable use of a ready action. Otherwise, yeah, the meme is spot on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] jounniy@ttrpg.network [S] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) As I said elsewhere, casting a spell and holding it uses visible components the hobgoblin could react to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) That isn't how I interpret the ready action. And yeah, there should be a save of some sort even if it isn't RAW, but I think I'd allow it out at my table, it's creative and fun. Edit: I reread the rule, there is language for precasting the spell. I stil thinkl it'd be more fun to find a way to hide it, like a stealth check or similar.

Making every caster able to do what is supposed to be a special ability (on par with doubling the range/duration of a spell) cheapens the ability and makes casters even stronger than they already are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* ¯\(ツ)/¯ permalink fedilink source parent [–] CerealNommer@ttrpg.network 1 point 2 years ago Hiding the spell and the action it takes are kind of superfluous to the jumping rule that says "[...] each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement." permalink fedilink source parent
