D&D: Rules Answers July 2016

The Dungeonmaster is back! – WotC answers a bunch of rules questions to keep your D&D adventures rolling along.
This month’s installment covers:
- Class Features and Multiclassing
- Equipment
- Feats
- Ability Checks
- Spellcasting
- Combat
Here’s just a handful of samples to get you going:
Can a barbarian/cleric use spiritual weapon to attack while raging, if it is cast before entering Rage?
A barbarian’s Rage makes concentration impossible but has no effect on spells, like spiritual weapon, that don’t require concentration.
Are attacks with a net always made with disadvantage?
Unless you have a special ability that says otherwise, any net attack has disadvantage because you’re either within 5 feet of your target (see PH, 149) or you’re attacking at long range, which is between 5 and 15 feet for a net.
