The Elven Accuracy feat, from Xanathar's Guide to Everything (pg. 74), says this:




  • Increase your Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20


  • Whenever you have advantage on an attack roll using Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, you can reroll one of the dice once.




My question is, if I increase, say, Dexterity by 1 using this feat, would the other benefit of this feat (about rerolling a die when you have advantage) only apply when making an attack roll using Dexterity, or could I use this with any of these abilities?



The fact that they have the same wording, and clearly you are only meant to increase one ability score as per the first bullet, I wonder if that "ties you" to that ability for the second bullet.

          Elven Accuracy applies to all the attack rolls.



          The two bullet points are independent. Consider the wording of the Resilient feat, where all of the effects apply to only one ability score:




          Choose one ability score. You gain the following benefits:



          • Increase the chosen ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

          • You gain proficiency in saving throws using the chosen ability.



          Emphasis mine. If the intention of Elven Accuracy was that the second point only applied to one ability score, it would have been worded similarly to Resilient. The second point of Elven Accuracy makes no mention to the ability score increased in the first point, so its benefit applies to all listed abilities.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't."
