Lots of requests to add the drafts of the artificer and mystic the the DM’s Guild, so we did that:Article also lays out road map for those classes. Short version, won't be official until quality = A+. More testing, iteration. #wotcstaff

Are these the same files we got from the UA or have they been updated before being put on DMGuild?

— Eleven Denier (@Mystic5523) May 31, 2017

Same files – not making revisions quite yet. #wotcstaff https://t.co/72mNEwOYYP

Would you say a medusa would retain the racial abilities it had before becoming a medusa?

@ChrisPerkinsDnD would you say a medusa would retain the racial abilities it had before becoming a medusa? (Can nonhumans even qualify?)

— Elad Gilo (@EladGilo) May 14, 2017

I haven't seen a D&D medusa that is anything but a transformed human. It doesn't retain the traits of its old form. #WotCStaff https://t.co/Ef2wiQuAiv

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Neheedra Duskryn in Out of the Abyss was a drow before being a Medusa. Her stat block is unchanged. pic.twitter.com/qEY8X7yrCB

Forgot about her. https://t.co/kp1KkkVJzr

@ChrisPerkinsDnD In what way would her background change it if you hadn't forgot her?

— Joakim Waern (@joakimwaern) May 14, 2017

I wouldn't change anything. #wotcstaff https://t.co/i7MxuAWrV5

Why are you reprinting materials you’ve already sold?

Why are you reprinting materials you've already sold? Wouldn't that space be better served with new content?

The SCAG subclasses in XGE are few and compact and were very popular. Their inclusion has no affect on how much new design we've done.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 6, 2017

There’s 25+ *new* subclasses, plus some SCAG ones. Also, not every SCAG subclass is in XGE.No more than 4 subclasses are coming from SCAG, and they're not included in the 25+ number.

Are there any plans to make an Art of Magic book for Ravnica?

@MrBodoFragginsAre there any plans to make an Art of Magic book for Ravnica? Would LOVE to see that. For the foreseeable future, the art books are tied to card set releases. I can't write more than 2 a year! #mtg #wotcstaff

Can Kenku voice imitation trigger the door in Zalto’s forge?

@ChrisPerkinsDnD can Kenku voice imitation trigger the door in Zalto's forge in SKT?

— Bob Conklin (@Quintzal) May 20, 2017

No. The text states that the doors open only when a fire giant speaks the pass phrase. #wotcstaff #StormKingsThunder https://t.co/djrF4EmHla

Does the deck of many things talon card destroy the deck of many things if you are carrying it?

If you draw the Talons card while in possession of the deck of many things, the deck is destroyed, as it is not an artifact. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/0R2EHj12N8

…but is there any NEW subclasses in Xanathar?

June 6, 2017Zoltar Leave a comment

@JeremyECrawford I get most of it being in UA before(and that's a good way to ensure quality), but is there any NEW subclasses in Xanathar?

— Sanderson Tavares (@Sands_Tavares) June 6, 2017

The 25+ new subclasses in Xanathar's Guide have all appeared in UA at some point. They're joined by a few subclasses from the SCAG. #DnD https://t.co/s1FPl7Bpuk

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 6, 2017

The subclasses that don't make it to the book, gone for good? Or possibly just need to be reworked for a future release?

— John Geoghegan (@gorworr) June 6, 2017

If a UA subclass doesn't become an official part of the game in Xanathar's Guide, it might become official in a later book. #DnD https://t.co/0KiQwURREY

Is this supposed to be 1 silver piece?

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is this supposed to be 1 silver piece, or did something referencing spells get cut off? pic.twitter.com/tLJajbSsnW

— Connor Turner (@Conbonmondon) May 11, 2017

"… and 1 sp" is correct. Spend that silver piece wisely! #WOTCstaff https://t.co/towPR8Eqmq
