Haste

Quote from Tishnack >>

Ahh, so no casting a second spell it looks like

 You can if one of those spells is a scroll (Use an Object)

Yes, a phenomenal use for a double agent at the start of a boss fight. Just remember the target has to be willing.

I am annoyed that HASTE doesn't give you a speed increase

 ...

It does though. It doubles your speed. Did you need to reread it or is this some weird unannounced errata somehow?

Quote from AlliraWhiteheart >>

Question: The round *after* the spell ends, when the recipient is "overcome by a wave of lethargy" and can't move or take actions... does that mean all "actions", or just "Action" (leaving the target a Bonus and a Reaction)?

 

 

Beyond 20

 

 

 

 

 

 Answer. "Actions" in this case is all actions, bonus actions, object interactions, and reactions. (Not movement, but that is seperately blocked here.)

There's a seperate section in the rest of the rules that defines this for any effect that says "can't take actions". I believe it's in the "what is an action" section.

This also means the target of crown of madness doesn't get to freely use their bonus action after the random action they did in their madness happens to fulfill a bonus action requirement.

Quote from zeranguen >>

if I’m concentrating it on another pc, and said pc dies, can I move it to a new target, like hex? Or does the spell just end?

Haste would persist on the creature (which also currently counts as an object while it is a corpse) as long as YOU held the spell, giving their body +2 AC somehow, 2 times it's speed (of currently zero), and an extra action and advantage on dex saves... if their current condition didn't preclude them from taking any actions and auto-failing dex saves on account of being dead.

Hypothetically, if your cleric buddy ran over and cast Revivify on them before the duration ended and brought them back in the fight they would be fine and still benefiting from Haste.

Alternatively, you could manually drop concentration to end the spell at any time, no action required and it doesn't even need to be your turn. So you could then cast another concentration spell on something else when it's your turn again.

Hopefully you don't drop it right after the cleric revives them, as that would trigger the lethargy round for them.

Quote from OniFeeZ >>

I don't really understand the point of this spell if you miss your next turn. Having some sort of drawback maybe, but that seems really excessive.

 You cast it on an ally, then never let your own concentration break because it would have to be YOU taking damage rather than the one benefiting from Haste.

Also very fun for the Oath of Glory/Oath of Vengenace Paladins that don't know this, the spell will transfer to your mount if you are mounted atop it as stated by the Find Steed spell. 

Also in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, Dragonnels are now creatures that are stated to be eligible for Find Greater Steed (The spell sharing works with these mounts too), I am going to theory craft with Oath of Glory for funsies.

14th level Paladin, your aura makes the Dragonnel have an increase of 10 ft. of movement for a total of 70 ft. of flying speed, Haste puts that at 140 ft. of fly speed without any actions, if they dash that is 280 ft. of movement. That is one action, they can use the second to dodge (assuming this is in combat and if you need to dash again for 560 ft. of fly speed say bye to your party and your legs for holding on lol), giving the mount, not you just the mount, attack rolls against it are at disadvantage, and the Dragonnel has flyby, so it never provokes opportunity attacks. This is just looking at the extra movement and additional action you BOTH GAIN, there is also the fact that BOTH of you gain +2 AC, adv. on Dex saving throws, etc. 

EDIT: I made an oopsie, you would need to dodge first and then dash with the second action, dodging isn't listed in the spell's additional actions but I typed too much and don't want to think about rewording lol.

This is insane, you effectively can go anywhere you want, never provoke opportunity attacks, gain AC buff and the Mounted Combatant feat allows you to make any attack hit your mount at disadvantage, to be fair it only gets 15 AC but even so at disadvantage it won't get hit very often. 

A powerhouse move for sure and a massive power spike in favor of this paladin, the same goes for Vengeance but this benefits Oath of Glory more as the aura is always in effect compared to Vengeance side.

Tuning over to Vengeance to be fair, you still get to use your 7th level feature at double the speed which can still be fun, so on average, you can hit someone and then move about 30 ft. without any additional help.

I love this spell for Paladin's sorry for all the text lol, it is so fun to think of the tense situation where everyone is getting ready for a fight, and you don't even get the chance to react to the Paladin just being in your face and hitting you so fast, they never expect it without the context of previous fights cause come on, the average Paladin is in HEAVY ARMOR, they move fast for it but damn not that fast!!!!!!

 You can give your mount plate barding for 18 base AC if you have the gold.  That's 20 with Haste. More than enough when enemies always have disadvantage.

bard should get

 

 

 Bard DOES get this... with Magical Secrets.

My SS/XBE Fighter Bard riding atop his armored Find Greater Steed Griffon, Hasting both of us so my Griffon has 160 ft fly speed and 3 attacks, while my Hand Crossbow becomes a minigun that I can fire 4 times in a round with about 20 damage per shot.

Quote from Dogpire2 >>

Ah but what you can do is ready action for a point at which you can do something action on somebody else's turn. Then use the haste action to sneak attack 1 attack on your turn. Then use the ready action (say after Mike's turn) take the attack action (all your extra attacks and everything including Sneak attack)

2 Sneak attacks in one round. Also then use a reaction on enemies turn if you can force a trigger get a third Sneak attack on 1 round.

 

 

Readying an action uses your Reaction to actually execute the readied action, though. You'd still only have two sneak attacks per round unless you can find a way to make an attack on someone else's turn without using your Reaction, which is pretty rare.

Order cleric might have a feature that does this. Battlemaster's Commander's strike would work too except that it uses the allies reaction.

Quote from dmmikerpg >>

No, you can never cast two leveled spells in a single turn.

 *sigh* This was never the rule.

This was NEVER the rule.

It is a messed up short hand of the 2014 rule "if you use a bonus action to cast a spell, then any other spells you cast that turn must be cantrips."

Meaning yes, you CAN have a 17th level Eldritch Knight cast Fireball, action surge, then cast fireball again completely RAW. Why take even this little uniqueness away from them? They get so little already.

Or a wizard casts a spell, it gets counterspelled, but as a reaction the wizard casts their own counterspell to push the first spell through (unless the enemy counterspell was upcasted.)

Even if are using 2024 rules the rule is in regards to "spending multiple spell slots" being blocked in a turn. Scrolls bypass this, magic items bypass this, a half a dozen class and subclass features bypass this, and any feat that gives you a spell that you can cast once "without spending spell slots" all LET you cast Multiple. Leveled. Spells. In. One. Turn.

The blanket, "no two leveled spells per turn" error is an easy enough mistake to believe when someone who hasn't read the rules or is forgetting explains it to a new player, but it IS wrong.
