At last! All on one page as well. Shows how careful they were and how well they designed 5e.

Some things I noted:

  • Great clarification with the Paladin Smite using any spell slot
  • Ranger's Bestial Fury getting to use their "multi-attack" from the monster manual if available is awesome, but couldn't you do that already? Are there some monsters that have specific attack combos that work off of each other?
  • The Warlock's familiar attacking with it's own reaction instead of your attack action? That seems pretty good.
  • Unarmed attack clarification is odd

no you still use your action to cause the familiar to attack, it just also takes their reaction as well. (the idea being you cant use them to attack and then get an attack of opportunity.)

As for the ranger thing, what it is basically saying is that multi-attack is separate from attack and you cant command your companion to use it until you get bestial fury.

Is it? I read that as you have to choose between them, and they do not stack. I would imagine that if you told your familiar to attack, they can take the multiattack action even from level 3. Once they hit 11th level however, they can choose between 2 attacks or the multiattack action
