# Erratas and Rulings

Interpretation: The idea of character classes is a meta concept. A character belonging to a class does not necessarily identify themselves with the word the rules use for that class.

Description: Performing somatic components for spells as a Paladin or Cleric, using your shield arm due to your shield being your focus.
Interpretation: If your Holy Symbol is on your shield, you may use that hand to perform somatic components of spells that have a material component that do not have a gold cost for their material component and do not have their material component consumed.

Class/Classfeat: Paladin, Cleric, Holy Symbol
Spell: Somatic Components
Item: Spellcasting Focus

Interpretation: Awakened Animal PCs can use their paws for somatic components.

Additionally, druids/rangers can wear any type of accessory (i.e. tiara, hairpin) made of mistletoe to bypass having to hold druidic foci for just material components. As long as you have a hand (can be the same one for somatic components) to at least touch the focus when you cast spells.

Interpretation: you cannot play a feral tiefling with a different bloodline than the Bloodline of Asmodeus subrace from the PHB, meaning that feral tieflings are only compatible with the Winged, Devil's Tongue, and Hellfire variant traits.

Interpretation: The costs of ingredients for cooking or preparing treats, while done in snowhaven and outside of bounties, are covered by Lifestyle or the Snowhaven Full Time Adventurer Scheme. If you are in a bounty and would prepare treats and/or cook food you must have the perquisite ingredients in order to do so.

Feat: Chef
Item: Cooking ingredients

Interpretation: The phrase "Hit points you regain from the [Hit Die] roll" refers to dice roll + CON mod

• For Durable Feat: "the minimum number of hit points you regain from the roll equals twice your Constitution modifier" means any dice result on the hit dice that is lower than the constitution modifier is replaced with the con mod before adding the mod to the result, which is 2*your con mod. e.g. If you have a con mod of 4, any number on the hit dice roll that is lower than 4 becomes 4, and then you add 4 to the dice, which is 8.
• For Periapt of Wound Closure: "whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain hit points, double the number of hit points it restores." means you double the sum of dice roll + CON mod, e.g. If you have a con mod of 4 and the dice roll was 6, you regain (4 + 6) x 2 = 20 hit points.

Feat: Durable

Interpretation The homebrew scythe weapon is considered a glaive and works with the Polearm Master feat.
Link to discussion: Discord

Feat: Polearm Master
Item: Scythe

Interpretation: No, but if you can't cast the spell again once the 24 hours are up, the undead escape from your control. So unless that is intended, it is unlikely to be able to unprepare and prepare it again before the time is up.
Link to discussion: Discord

Spell: Animate Dead

Interpretation: Yes, but they are only proficient in shortbows/shortswords, and scraps of armor. Anything else would require the rules for using equipment you are not proficient in.
Link to discussion: Discord

Item: Weapons/Equipment, Proficiency

Description: The remains of the undead created by Animate Dead do not disappear without being explicitly destroyed.
Interpretation: If an undead created by Animate Dead is killed, their remains do not disappear (unless explicitly destroyed by an effect such as Disintegration) and can thus be reanimated with another casting of Animate Dead.

E.g. The summoner can kill their undead servants and then reanimate them at no additional material cost. You may kill your undead servants without DM oversight so long as they are still under your control.

Spell: Animate Dead

Interpretation: No, since nothing in the spell's description specifies it breaking concentration nor inflicting the incapacitated condition (which does break concentration).

Link to discussion: Discord

Class/Classfeat: Spell versatility, Multiclass

Interpretation: When multiclassed between 2 caster classes that require different types of Spellcasting Focuses, you must have a separate focus for each class's spells. E.G. A Cleric/Warlock would need a Holy Symbol and an Arcane Focus; a Sorcerer/Warlock would only need one Arcane Focus.

Additionally, if you are casting a spell that has a GP cost as a material component, you must have a free hand that's not holding a shield nor weapon.

Class/Classfeat: Multiclassing, Material Costs

Interpretation: If a magic item says "If you're a spellcaster, you can use this item as a spellcasting focus", you can use it as a spellcasting focus even if it isn't a type of item your class can normally use as a focus.

Item: Spellcasting Focus

Interpretation: A book such as a Pact of the Tome warlock's Book of Shadows or a Ritual Caster's ritual book can be used as a spellbook. However, spells inscribed into it using such a feature don't count as wizard spells known.

Description: Buying materials from the market and/or making toys out of wood with woodcarvers tools without being in a guild that has Crafting DTD
Interpretation: If you're proficient with woodworking tools and have them, you can make toys without being in a guild that has Crafting DTD. Additionally, you do not need to buy materials from the market to make said toys either.

Race/Racefeat: Drow Sunlight Sensitivity

Changes: Any benefits or changes granted by a spell or spell effect, including instantaneous effects such as Find Familiar and Find (Greater) Steed, cast from the Ring of Spell Storing end when a creature other than you attunes to the item.
Link to discussion: Discord

Class/Classfeat: Spellcasting
Item: Ring of Spell Storing

Changes:

• The spell cast as a bonus action via Hidden Ace still requires a spell slot (or some other means of circumventing that requirement, like casting a spell which is both on your spell list and something you know as a racial spell) to be cast.
• You may only designate one spell as your Hidden Ace per long rest, and may only use your Hidden Ace to cast a spell as a BA once per long rest -- no, you cannot abuse this feat by multiclassing and acquiring multiple spell lists.
• Your Hidden Ace must be of a spell level you can cast normally: you cannot play a wizard 19 / cleric 1 who grabs this feat to select and cast Mass Heal as a BA. You could, however, select a 1st-level cleric spell and cast it as a BA using any level of spell slot available to you.

Spell: Cartomancer

Changes: The feat's 1st-level spell list is determined by the character's alignment at the time they take the feat. Changing the spell list requires a rebuild.

Changes: Chaotic Flares and Wild Magic rolls can only cause damage to other creatures within the confines of the arena or while a DM is supervising the interaction. If a Chaotic Flare of Wild Magic Surge would deal damage outside of these circumstances, the player may choose to either reroll the effect or ignore the roll entirely.

Subclass/Subclassfeat: Wild Magic sorcerer.
Feat: Cohort of Chaos, Chaotic Flare

Description: Some spells, such as True Polymorph, allow a spellcaster to transform a creature into a different creature or summon a creature, which may respectively gain or have the ability to cast particular spells without requiring spell components.
Changes: The transformed creature must still provide any material components that has a cost and/or is consumed for the casting of these spells. If the creature was summoned, the spellcaster who summoned it must provide such components instead. If the component is consumed by the spell, the component must be provided for each casting of the spell.
