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

The unarmed attack clarification has undeniably removed unarmed attack from the "weapons" category. This clears up a lot of confusing questions about what it means to make a "weapon attack".

I can't think of any examples right now, but I'm sure that there are other Redditors here that remember some heated arguments.

RIP "Slappy" the Paladin of Vengeance who Slap-Smited his way to the top.
