if a creature has the ability False Appearance and is an evil creature, should Divine Sense still work in detecting its intentions or is the “indistinguishable” trait override all?believe it should detect it unless ability specifies it foils magical detection

Do tieflings have body hair?
I have an IMPORTANT question @ChrisPerkinsDnD @HollyConrad … do tieflings have body hair? These are the things the world needs to know! #dnd

Why did I get charged money to buy the PHB to view on DnDBeyond, if it isn’t an actual copy of the book?
So why did I get charged money to buy the Player’s Handbook to view on DnDBeyond, if it isn’t an actual copy of the book? In all honesty, his answer isn’t really telling me anything. Both the physical book and the digital copy on DnDBeyond are the Player’s Handbook. D&D Beyond presents a reproduction of the "Players Handbook." If something has gone awry in that reproduction, please let @DnDBeyond know, and they'll fix it. They're committed to being as accurate as possible.

If I wanted to put Manacles during combat would that count as my whole action, Using An Object or Grappling?
@JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD@mikemearls
If I wanted to put Manacles on a cultist during combat would that count as my whole action Using An Object or would it be a form of Grappling that replaces one of my attacks during my turn?— Trogaf (@Trogaf) August 25, 2018
In my game, you can use an action to put manacles on someone who is incapacitated. (Manacles aren’t as easy to slap on as handcuffs.) #wotcstaff https://t.co/T4gJglgfbb

Define incapacitated, do stunned or grappled count, or must they be unconscious?
— Chad M Walber (@dahctor) August 25, 2018
“Incapacitated” is a condition in the game; see appendix A of the Player’s Handbook. #wotcstaff https://t.co/vnvUA0pJwv
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 25, 2018
Would this then mean that I'm forced to knock a creature out/ paralyze/stun them before taking them into custody?
Would a resisting grappled/restrained creature not be able to be manacled? https://t.co/B70mNMt3ov— Trogaf (@Trogaf) August 25, 2018
There are a number of conditions in the game, including paralyzed and stunned, that also render a creature incapacitated; see appendix A in the Player’s Handbook. #wotcstaff https://t.co/14DTiSnw3l
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 25, 2018
I like referring to those parts quite a lot. Why are they hidden in an appendix?
— Nerdicted Com (@nerdicted) August 25, 2018
An appendix is often easier to find than some other random page in a book. You’ll find the conditions displayed much more prominently on the inside of our DM Screen (as they should be). #wotcstaff https://t.co/HC43Y7tYye

Trans folks in Rashemen
Y’all figure trans folks in Rashemen are treated by gender ID in terms of what paths they can take, or does it present uncomfortable choices and challenges for them?
I figure the spirits would see them spiritually, not physically The only time this came up in play in the original Realms campaign, the ranking witches on the spot (NPCs, played by me as DM) decided. They are dead set against outlander male adventurers disguising themselves as female to infiltrate Rashemen for personal larcenous purposes. …

…had to stereotype the Rashemi, it would be accepting and tolerant of the full range of genders…but used to daily seeing "straight," with females dominant. So not opposed, but anything different from that "norm" will attract interest.

Maybe the spirits basically tell the hathran what sort of person this individual is, and where they fit? Maybe there is a small space for such individuals that isn’t open to either strictly male or female rashemi? Certainly. The hathran are primarily concerned with loyalty to the ideals of Rashemen as a society, and whether a given individual should be trained and accepted as a witch, or not. There's a place in society for almost everyone.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 4, 2018
Awesome answer! Thank you!
Forgive me if I’m asking an answered question, but where do minor spellcasters like Rangers fit in Rashemen, now that the line between mundane and spellcaster is less clean? The witches are social & community leaders (policymakers). Rangers have always led hunts, patrols, and work parties, and served as guides & bodyguards to witches traveling in unfamiliar-to-them parts of Rashemen (or wider Faerun). And yes, rangers lead Rashemi adventuring bands.

“Tactical retreat”
1)
When out of the castle I grandly ride
Armor and medals both flashing with pride
I recall every dragon and horrific monster slain
That until I ended them this realm did stain
But when the dragonfire doth blow
Elsewhere I hastily go— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 12, 2018
