@BardicDave @S_McMillionaireSo the artificer can effectively ignore the 1 concentration spell limit when buffing allies? Seems problematic. that's the intent, playtesting will help show how clever or dumb it is #wotcstaff

Ha! Nah, this smells of exploit. I'd say you take the lower of the two rolls, then Luck an additional d20 against that lower number & pick https://t.co/QnSienZB7W

@King_Davod @leaahwulf @VoiceOfOBrien Indeed, but I disagree with it, personally. Lucky is already a VERY powerful feat.

Does under invisibility spell & attacked, attacker would get disadvantage?
@PynndragonIf heard w/ under invisibility spell & attacked, attacker would get disadvantage on initial attack roll? Indeed! Even if you vaguely know where hey are, invis still imposes Disadvantage on attacks against it

If Spelljammer 5e…
I have to admit that if we do anything with Spelljammer, we'd have to account for how we treated stars in 4e.

I love the idea of stars as entities, and some of them being… not so nice. https://t.co/xbodeB5FaS #wotcstaff

Why are some magic animals but others are Beasts?
@mikemearls Why are some magic animals like Winter wolf, Warg, or ice toad are Monstrosity type but others like Tressym or Stirge are Beasts
— Marshall Jackson (@NoskcajLlahsram) December 8, 2016
Typically – but by no means an iron clad rule – anything that could potentially exist & operate without magic is a beast. #wotcstaff https://t.co/VwqJl6px6R

If the Battlemaster maneuver parry, reduce the weapon Drow damage to zero…
@RenatoRebornedIf the Battlemaster maneuver parry, reduce the weapon Drow damage to zero, the poison damage still work ? I should have started by asking you this: do you mean the drow poison in the DMG or drow stat blocks in the MM?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 27, 2016
Drow poison in the DMG is delivered by piercing/slashing damage (0 dmg = 0 poison). Poison in the MM's drow is delivered by hitting. #DnD https://t.co/aavubna5VO

Can the Gunsmith to build additional ammo outside of arcane magazine?
@ZardozindustryI know you don’t usually field UA questions, but can the Gunsmith to build additional ammo outside of arcane magazine? depend on campaign – yes if you're OK with firearms being more mundane #wotcstaff

Guardian Form+Haste or other 5 or 10ft?
@iLXeNk @JeremyECrawfordGuardian Form+Haste or other 5 or 10ft? Guardian Form+Widlshape interaction? Cancels Guardian? Both active? not rule as written, but polymorph effects would end it. for speed, i'd put a hard cap on it, no bonuses #wotcstaff
