Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
A420 Dispute: I would say "isn't visible outside it" means that people inside the radius can see to the full extent that their light sources allow, because they aren't outside the sphere.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
A421: Strixhaven yes (you get the spells as extra spells known on top of your allotment), Ravnica no (you only gain access and need to actually pick them as spells known.)
The key is to look for the following clause (or a similar one): "You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have." Starting with Tasha's, that clause has been added to most if not all feats that grant extra spells, effectively turning the spells gained via those feats into spells known.
The Ravnica backgrounds meanwhile merely add those spells to your list - you still need to spend your own allotment of spells known on them. Ravnica predates Tasha's, back when they were worried that feats granting extra spells known might be too powerful (it wasn't.)Plague Doctor by Crimmy

421 comment:
Note that Ravnica's spells-added-to-list comes from a background, not a feat, and is in addition to the normal two skills, two tools/languages, and a trait that backgrounds give, which means that it's still a significant power increase from what came before.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q422: Watchers Paladin level 7 allows the Paladin and allies within 10 ft to add "a bonus equal to their proficiency bonus" to Initiative.
Does this count as adding Proficiency Bonus to initiative, for the purposes of not stacking with Bard's Jack of All Trades? Or is it a separate bonus that just happens to have the same magnitude as proficiency?
I suppose I want to know the answer for both a Multiclass Paladin/Bard as well as a Bard ally of the Paladin.You can call me Draz.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
Q433
Can Counterspell be cast vs. something, that is not a spell? Example: paladin uses Divine smite, spends a slot. Caster sees this and wants to cast Counterspell as a reaction, misinterpreting this as a spell being cast. Does Counterspell trigger at all? Is Counterspell spell slot spent? (I know Counterspell does nothing in this case). What happens if Caster wants to cast Counterspell without proper prerequisites?

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
A433: Counterspell can only be cast when you see something casting a spell. How a character is able to parse whether or not something is a spell is not defined in the rules (but implicitly, the presence of verbal, somatic, or material components are necessary give-aways, since their absence thanks to Subtle Spell will explicitly make Counterspell impossible). You're probably going to have to go outside the scope of this thread for a resolution on what does and doesn't count, since this is ultimately going to be down to whatever works at your table.

Re: Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back
A433 Addendum: By the rules, there is no chance of "misinterpretation: reactions trigger on specific stimuli, and something either is a spell or it isn't. How this kind of identification can have zero chance of error is left as an exercise for the reader, but saying there's a chance to mistake a non-spell for being a spell is a houserule.
