 === Daylight === === Daylight ===
-Not a component related nerf, but: unless you use your highest slot level on this spell, it doesn't //create// light, it just turns a light you already have (such as a weak little candle) into strong 60/60 daylight. But if you spend the highest slot level you have, it //can// still create daylight as per the RAW. For example if you are a level 7 cleric if you spend a 4 level slot, it can create daylight. If you spend a 3 level slot, it can only transform light into daylight.+No added components. Works like RAW.

-A firefly or phosphorescent moss. A 360 minute pack costs 1 silver and is a small item. You can split up those minutes however you want, doesn't have to be strict hours. The light still goes out after one hour and requires recasting.+A firefly or phosphorescent moss. Six uses costs 1 silver and is a small item. If the spell is ended prematurely, you can reuse that component later for the remaining time. For example you shine the light for 40 minutes. Later you can shine the light for 20 minutes. But then it goes out. In that regard, it's more similar to a bundle of torches than a flask of oil.

-//(BTW, Healing Spirit saw an official nerf on Crawford's Twitter — they don't like changing the game so they framed it as "a suggested houserule". But, I think with clear rules for targets in areas of effect it's not needed.)//+//(We are switching over to Crawford's suggested house rule.)//
  
-  * In an ordinary fight, you can move in and out of the spirit using your movement. Remember that joining up large mêlée groups in order to take advantage of the Healing Spirit enables the monsters to sidestep the three-medium-per-target limit. +The amount of d6 that can be handed out is now limited to twice your casting mod.
-  * Outside of ordinary fight, only one person per round can be healed. So the ten d6 are divided up among the persons to be healed. This brings it about on par with Prayer of Healing. +

-//(This is neither Haeck's nor Crawford's suggestion but is [[https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/206-spell-spotlight-healing-spirit?comment=7|similar to the commenter FeyPhoenix on D&D Beyond]]. Seems like we had the same idea.)//+
  
 +Unlike our previous house rule, it doesn't have to be just one d6 per round, so it's not //strictly// worse, but overall yeah this is a nerf. Sorry folx♥

-==== Weapon Maneuvers ==== 
- 
-If you are using the third party book “Beyond Damage Dice” (which isn’t recommended because the game is already complicated enough) here are my rulings on the weapon maneuver’s there. Also all the new weapons from Midgard and Southlands are banned so don’t even. Note that you don’t have to be a specific class to use these weapon maneuvers (they’re not battlemaster only). 
- 
-  * **Banned maneuvers** Bruising Blow, Piercing Point, Rapid Shot. Banned for aesthetic reasons because they look dumb. The other forty or so maneuvers in there are ok. 
-  * **Buffed maneuvers** Distracting Shot’s effect now lasts until end of your ally’s next round. So that you don’t get screwed over by our weird initiative “system”. 
-  * **Nerfed maneuvers** The poison vials now [[rules/looking-for-stuff-outdoors|need components]] to create.
