A carriage falls into a newly formed sinkhole. As the heroes rescue the carriage's passengers, they discover a long-lost dungeon. #wotcstaff https://t.co/ENn85XM6GZ

@matthewmercer what does alignment do for your players in @CriticalRole? @LauraBaileyVO turned back to CG, but what did that change?

— W Travis Reichel (@WTravisR) November 12, 2016

Alignment has very little mechanical effect to the game. It was more important in older editions. However, it's a fun moral barometer! https://t.co/TyfygWbcrs

@charonsclaws03 I always thought alignment matter and experience points were being handed out. Just as a role-playing affect It helps in certain situations (against certain enemies, using certain items), but its more of a Roleplaying guide.

@matthewmercer Does alignment deviation affect Paladins in your game, though?

— Jamie M. (@LeSemblantON) November 12, 2016

It can effect Clerics/Paladins & others that have patrons they grant their power. Act enough out of your/god's alignment, POOF! No power! https://t.co/oa3fR6d01r

@jasonshamblin @WTravisR @CriticalRole @LauraBaileyVO I find it more limiting than helpful. People don’t fit perfectly into 1 of 9 boxes. Yeah, it has varying results based on the game/players.

— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) November 12, 2016

@LeSemblantON @CaptainTalon447As I recall, some Paladins can gain power through their convictions, rather than deities, though. no?

Certainly! Then those convictions drive the restrictions

@___Eddy Can a Warforged be healed through spells like Cure Wounds? yes

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Would you allow a Halfling (small) to benefit from Naturally Stealthy while riding their animal companion (medium)?

— Alexander Yount (@AlexanderpYount) October 31, 2016

No. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/eupOuo3M0S

@AndrewF_WriterUndead used to have an ability to sense living creatures. 5e MM doesn’t mention it, do they still have this ability? not intrinsically #wotcstaff

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How would one go about making an Empathic character? I'm thinking like a Drow version of a Betazoid.

— (((Lilja Kupua))) (@KoloheLilja) October 25, 2016

Proficiency in the Insight skill, plus a high Wisdom. And you could pump up ability checks with spells such as guidance. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/yKv1PupZ30
