Why You Can’t “Secretly” Cast Spells in D&D (and other dispelled myths)

Latest Comments

No comments to show.

The new D&D 2024 spell rules change how magic works at your tabletop. In this video, we break down the strict rules regarding D&D spellcasting in the 2024 Player’s Handbook that most players are completely ignoring.

Can you secretly cast Charm Person on a shopkeeper standing right next to you? Can you cast two spells using spell slots on the same turn? Can you cast Counterspell on your own turn? The actual rules as written (RAW) in D&D 5.5e might completely surprise you.

We take a look at three massive pieces of D&D spellcasting fine print that get overlooked:

⏳ TIMESTAMPS
0:00 – The D&D 2024 Magic Myth
1:10 – The Bonus Action Spell Slot Trap
3:01 – Can You Actually Cast Secret Spells?
8:00 – The Concentration Rule We Always Forget
