Does Dissonant Whispers provoke an opportunity attack?
@fmacanadaguy @JeremyECrawford I've run it as yes

@G0DL1K3D3V1LSorry if this is a late question, but if said character also has Warcaster, can he cast a Warcaster legal spell? War Caster does, indeed, work with opportunity attacks, as specified in its third benefit.

Does ‘incendiary cloud’ move directly away from you?
@trace400Does ‘incendiary cloud’ move directly away from you, or in a direction you choose? Check out the final sentence of the spell for the answer.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) July 21, 2016
@trace400So it does both, then? But ‘directly away from you’ doesn’t give you much of a choice, does it? There’s a reason I asked. You choose its heading.

Are Wizards supposed to be able to take Earthquake?
I dunno who i should ask about this, but are Wizards supposed to be able to take Earthquake?
@Nalkarauke @ChrisPerkinsDnDi dunno who i should ask about this, but are Wizards supposed to be able to take Earthquake? Earthquake isn’t on the wizard’s spell list.

What if you want to protect a buddy with “help” action in melee, interposing between attacker and target?
@JeremyECrawford Hi! What if you want to protect a buddy w/ "help" action in melee, interposing between attacker and target, = cover ?
— TadenRif (@TadenRif) September 15, 2016
Take a look at the rules for cover. You provide half cover to someone if you're between them and the attacker. #DnD https://t.co/M1fOI0XOK3
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 15, 2016
@JeremyECrawford then the opponent chooses which one is really hit when both ACs are hit ?
— TadenRif (@TadenRif) September 15, 2016
Cover has no effect on targeting. You target someone, and cover adjusts their AC. #DnD https://t.co/QOSvK5i535

Can Booming Blade and Green-Flame Blade used with a whip?
@JeremyECrawford Booming Blade and Green-Flame Blade can't be used with whip at 10 feet reach… RAI?
— Jacob Matthews (@NADRIGOL) November 2, 2015
The booming blade and green-flame blade cantrips intentionally have a range of 5 feet. #DnD https://t.co/ckMMxmNowp
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 4, 2015
@DaganevIs Green-Flame Blade intentionally unable to take advantage of the Whip’s reach property? The spell does, indeed, have a range of 5 feet.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 8, 2015
@jprepo1 @Daganev I am quite confused why the spell was designed this way, in a way that punishes users of reach weapons A reach weapon interacts with the spell the same way a non-reach melee weapon does: by targeting someone 5 feet away.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 9, 2016
@jprepo1 @Daganevsorry, I guess I’m confused, I read the tweet to mean the cantrip couldn’t be used with reach due to range The spell targets someone 5 ft. away, and a reach weapon can target someone 5 ft. away.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 9, 2016
@JeremyECrawford @Daganev damn character limits, whip has 10ft, but need to be w/in 10ft of target to use whip w/, say, green flame blade
— James RePass (@jprepo1) January 9, 2016
@jprepo1 @Daganevok, have a disappointed whip using blade singer to show this to. Thanks for the response, To be 100 percent clear, a whip does work with the spell at a 5 ft. range.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 9, 2016
@jprepo1 @Daganev got it, just doesnt work at the 10ft of the whip due to the 5ft range limit on the spell? That's correct.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 9, 2016
@JeremyECrawford What if he had the Spell Sniper feat? The spell requires an attack roll, would its range thus be 10ft, allowing the whip?
— Dungarth (@Dungarth) November 8, 2015
Spell Sniper does work green-flame blade. #DnD https://t.co/6tuswXB53e

Does the magic weapon spell work on natural weapons?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Does the magic weapon spell work on natural weapons (thinking about beast master rangers specifically)? #dnd
— James Introcaso (@JamesIntrocaso) May 31, 2016
The magic weapon spell targets weapons (PH 146–49), not body parts. A DM can rule otherwise and not break it. #DnD https://t.co/JeMdHcg6z4
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlswait! this would undo every fighter / druid. beast natural atks are melee weapon attacks (q.v.) See the druid's Primal Strike feature.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlsyes, of course, but any precedent that says beast natural is not a weapon has breaking reach. Their attacks count as weapon attacks, but the system doesn't consider their body parts weapons.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlswouldn’t that mean every ftr type / drd multiclass is undone, unable 2 use ‘weapon’ abilities? Many fighter abilities rely on a weapon attack or a melee attack. Natural weapons qualify for both.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 5, 2016
@LexStarwalker ok. I’m still confused on when a natural weapon is considered a weapon by the rules & when not. Most of the system only cares whether an attack is a weapon attack, not whether the thing used is a weapon.
