@JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD how would you stat Laeral Silverhand if you had to?

— Bill Berg (@webjr1981) May 2, 2017

I hope to present Laeral's stat block in a future product. Until then, you could noodle with the archmage stat block in the MM. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/H7pPOFPWpk

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I think the Archmage MM entry pretty well covers every high level mage NPC. Though aren't specialists in a book somewhere?

— Casval Rem Deikun (@redcometcasval) May 2, 2017

Volo's Guide to Monsters provides a bunch of specialist wizard stat blocks in one of its appendices. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/DUuiaqVj9m

@JeremyECrawford In a game of hide-and-seek, do green dragons cheat? Asking for a friend.

I wouldn't trust a green dragon to abide by the rules of any game. #DnD https://t.co/wufT9kbFFO

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @matthewmercer Starting up a campaign in a homebrew world soon, any advice for how to prep week to week?

— Stewart Wyatt (@StewartRWyatt) April 29, 2017

I type a one-pager before each session w/ the episode title, what happened last week, what I expect to happen next, and key NPCs. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/PkZSHWFISg

@JeremyECrawford My group put Half-elf "Everybody's Friend" UA Race Feat on its pointy ear to make another for Half-orcs: "Nobody's Friend" pic.twitter.com/GEnZoorQ3n

@ChrisFontenot13 Fun!

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford What rank is the Raven Queen? Greater or Lesser Deity? Been looking for that info but can't find it

— Kalen (@kalen_nighteyes) April 11, 2017

Based on 4E lore, she would be a lesser god (because she has a physical form), but she could be something else in your home game. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/EGnHqffXww

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Are all Kobolds evil, or could they be outcasts/refugees from an unforgiving Dragon? My homebrew depends on this answer. TY

— MysterBMS (@MysterBMS) May 3, 2017

Kobolds tend to be evil, but individual kobolds can be of any alignment. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/N0JeEZHcqO

The idea behind Starfinder seems good & all, but the system is not something I would ever want to play. I wish WOTC would do 5e space opera.

— NewbieDM (@newbiedm) May 28, 2017

I love Star Frontiers, but my I have to admit that if I did this it would be like 40% to do a 5e-driven game w/o bonus actions. #wotcstaff https://t.co/4N8Kx6NKfF

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 28, 2017

Bonus actions are fairly hacky, and with 3+ years running the final game under my belt it’s now obvious how to live without them. #wotcstaff

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 28, 2017

@mikemearls Do share, how do you live without them?

— Alexander Macris (@archon) May 28, 2017

You just need to glue the appropriate actions together – for instance, Two-Weapon Fighting is just a special attack action. #wotcstaff https://t.co/b5mTWl8z93

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 28, 2017

Instead of there being an Attack action, you’d have Attack as a category with new class-exclusive options added to it. Cleaner design.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 28, 2017

With all that said, nothing that requires a new edition. We’ll do that when players and DMs ask for it. No where near that now. #wotcstaff

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 28, 2017

@NewModelKoan @mikemearlsWhere would that leave Healing Word or other spells with bonus action cast times? Or abilities that spend the bonus action to give a bonus? Perhaps something like this: "When you cast this spell, you can also take one of the following actions: attack, cast a cantrip, dodge, dash"

— Bardic Dave (@BardicDave) May 30, 2017

@BardicDave @NewModelKoan Exactly – cleaner, easier to understand

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 30, 2017

@MeadBadgerMike, what about the BA economy? If I’m fighting with TWF while maintaining Arcane Sword, can I direct the spell AND get my TWF attack? Would depend on exact design, but you might imagine TWF has its own action, ongoing spells designed w/o need to use action to maintain

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 30, 2017

As a fellow designer, I dig it. Never settling, always thinking, and being open and candid with your process. Keep up the good work. thank you!

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 30, 2017

@ChrisPerkinsDnD would lizardfolk actually use things like bedrolls and blankets?

— Nenad Miletic (@miletnam) February 17, 2017

Ever find a snake in your sleeping bag? @miletnam #WOTCstaff https://t.co/30mfO19C7f

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) May 1, 2017

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @miletnam Quibble: the snake is taking advantage of your radiated heat as a mammal. Snakes don't radiate much heat, although they do den together.

— Dean Simmons (@DeanMSimmons) May 1, 2017

I love the idea of the lizardfolk druid wanting to crawl in bed with other party members for warmth. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/oBK01xkRSh
