Damage/Effect
Communication (...)
You point toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.
You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence; 1 foot of stone, metal, or wood; or a thin sheet of lead blocks the spell.

Posted Sep 8, 2024No verbal components? Does this mean you can send a message and reply without being able to speak? Nice upgrade, but seems weird with the spell description saying whisper

Posted Sep 21, 2024There's been so many arguments over the years of, "Oh, the guard overhears you say the words of the spell that's explicitly supposed to allow covert communication. It has a verbal component, after all" This fixes that pretty cleanly.
But yes, I don't know why they want to keep that description of "whisper" in the spell. One way to have it make sense if it's a silent whisper (just your and the replier's lips moving) that is part of the somatic component.
