| May 24, 2020 at 22:47 | comment | added | V2Blast | So far, two answers to this question (including yours) have been edited to change the answer entirely, essentially replacing one answer with a totally different one. I think that in such cases, you should write a new answer (and potentially delete the existing one, if you think it's wrong) instead of editing the existing one to be something totally different. After all, the existing votes on the answer were for an answer that said something totally different; editing the answer to say something totally different means the votes no longer correspond to the answer. | |
| Feb 27, 2020 at 20:55 | comment | added | Rykara | @Rand The more I think about it, my answer originally hinged on the argument that ignoring the lethargy during the casting turn was overpowered and therefore couldn't be the intent. But the fact is that the caster would lose two turns, not one, and that is unbalanced in the other direction. I think it takes fewer mental gymnastics with this interpretation and so Dale's answer is correct. I'm changing mine to match. | |

Changed my answer based on comments and other answers.

| Feb 27, 2020 at 20:08 | comment | added | Randomorph | XGE has actually clarified the timing: "As soon as you start casting a spell or using a special ability that requires concentration, your concentration on another effect ends instantly." (XGE 5), and with that, I'd argue your second paragraph would make a better case for an answer in the opposite direction if you can back it up more. | |
