Now I can read this two ways. The first is that when your next turn starts, you gain advantage, as long as the spell hasn't ended at the start of the turn. Alternately I could read it as you get advantage, only so long as the spell hasn't ended when you make the attack roll. Now imagine a caster casts True Strike, and on his next turn casts Blinding Smite as a bonus action then immediately attacks. Being a concentration action, casting Blinding Smite ends True Strike. Does he get advantage with the attack? How about Mordenkanen's Sword? This is a concentration spell, which gets an attack roll immediately upon casting. Can it benefit from True Strike? |

To me "on your next turn" is more about state than trigger, meaning essentially "during." If it said "At the beginning of...", I may be inclined to think about it differently. |
