#1 Eothain Jul 15, 2015 18:07:49	Can I do this? I find myself getting a little confused about the wording on the rulebook.   Breaking Up Your Move   Vou can break up your movement on your turn, using some of your speed before and after your action. For example, ifyou have a speed of 30 feet, you can move 10 feet, take your action, and then move 20 feel.   It says *action* so my understanding is that I can move cast move.   BUT   MOVING BETWEEN ATTACKS If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. For example, a fighter who can make two attacks with the Extra Attack feature and who has a speed of 25 feet could move 10 feet, make an attack, move 15 feet, and then attack again.   So, any ruling about this? Does the first part trumps the second, or viceversa?

Then, you can move during, between the weapon attacks, as well as before and after that action. The most common example is using the Attack action when you have Extra Attack.   So you can move, take the Attack action and make one attack, move, make the second attack, move.   Or move, make two weapon attacks, move.   Or move, cast a spell, move.   If you cast Scorching Ray and make multiple spell attacks, you can't move between them.   So the second rule you posted has no effect on spells.

You are right on the needing  "Cast a Spell" action not the "Attack" action, I was thinking the right thing there, but mixed up the words. The first rule allows you to take an action, any action, such as "Cast a Spell" which allows you to move, cast a spell, move. The second rule refers to moving in between multiple attacks, and I was disagreeing that spells are allowed for that by what is written. But I was also saying the second rule does not win out over the first rule, as they do not conflict, and refer to different things, as you've said. But upon reading it even FURTHER what Macv12 said, was right about the spells. Perhaps I'm just tired right now haha, I retract my statements

#15 Kaelev Oct 03, 2015 11:38:13	If a caster is surrounded by enemies, lets say 4 (2 in front of him in view and 2 behind him out of view), can he use movement during a spell to turn around and direct spell that allows him to hit multiple targets such as Eldritch Blast or Command cast at a higher level?

#17 Kaelev Oct 03, 2015 14:04:53	So when the books say "a creature the character can see" it's in regards to line of sight as if the creature is around a corner or under cover of some sort?

#20 Kentor_Slowhand_02 Oct 09, 2015 9:34:12	Ok, maybe I am an idiot, but I am lost. So the wizard could move, fire off a spell and move again right?
