| #1TenguSep 06, 2014 4:55:28 | The Sorcerer Metamagic ability Quickened Spell reads "when you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting"
True Strike reads "On your next turn you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target." Note that it reads “next turn” not next action or next attack.
So, if a have used True Strike and Quickened Spell and the beginning of THIS turn (as a bonus action before attacking) will my NOW attack have advantage or do I still wait until NEXT TURN?
So, is it RAW or is it a exception because of the use of Quickened Spell ability?
(Great trick for a Sorcery / Rogue). |

| #3AlynnSep 06, 2014 6:44:04 | It will be next turn because using a bonus action happens during your turn. Just because you use your bonus action before you attack or move does not mean the bonus action happened before your turn started. |

| #5KalaniSep 06, 2014 9:48:21 | The Quicken Spell ability does not change the wording of the spell's effect. The only thing it changes is its casting time - from one action, to one bonus action.
True Strike (Quickened) Casting Time: One bonus Action Effect: On your next turn you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target.
This effect also causes conflict when making Opportunity Attacks. The benefits of this spell only apply during your next turn. They do not provide any benefit when making OAs, or during attacks this turn (if quickened). |
