@grey_circlequestion: The feat crossbow expert .. use 1 attack to fire heavy cb, then second to fire hand cb and bonus to fire hand again ? I think that works – IMC, though, I don't allow weapon swaps, but rules as written I think it's OK #wotcstaff

If I jump 30 feet into the air with a grappled creature, do we both take falling damage?
@MultiToadIf I jump 30 feet into the air with a grappled creature, do we both take falling damage, and does the grapple end from fall dmg? DM judges, but I'd say both take falling, grappler makes Con save with DC = to fall damage to hold on. #WOTCstaff

@MultiToadAnd what if I jumped 30 feet into the air, and then released the grapple? Do pcs take fall damage from their own jumps? only if they run out of movement midair – then they fall

According to the rules i understand that armors doesn’t impose swimming penalties, right?
@True_Likardcould I ask you a question? According to the rules i understand that armors doesn’t impose swimming penalties, right? Thanks correct – penalty is reflect in penalty to speed

What is WotCs view on 3rd party books?

@CharlesHorikami @KoboldPress what is WotCs view on 3rd party books like this? Will WotC ever publish more MMs that will have contradictory info? it's a cool part of the community and hobby, but we can't account for all of it in our design #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 8, 2016
@CharlesHorikami @KoboldPress might be areas where we do something similar. We also look at books like this for new writers. #WOTCstaff

.@mikemearls @CharlesHorikami Hurray! We're happy to be a proving ground for future WotC designers.

Try to think of 3-5 short catchphrases you can say in-game. Also, how's your Peter Lorre impression? #WOTCstaff https://t.co/XabWeQQW90

Minor clarification on the Gunslinger
Minor clarification on the Gunslinger: Regaining Grit is intended upon killing a very dangerous foe (DM discretion). Grit farming is a no go
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) July 25, 2016
@SamWargulawhy not just add a “To regain grit creature must equal 1/2 gunslinger level” or something like that? Instead of just GMrule Because Creature Level/CR is as vague/situational. Best to just leave to GM discretion.

Can I use an Action to perform a Bonus Action that doesn’t have a trigger?
Would it be unwise to allow a player to use their Action to perform a Bonus Action that doesn't have a trigger? @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford
— B Lynn (@DaddyDM) August 15, 2016
The rules don't allow using an action as a bonus action. A DM may say yes, but analysis paralysis might ensue. #DnD https://t.co/XvjaL0eeqS
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 15, 2016
@DaddyDM @JeremyECrawford I'd allow it #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 15, 2016
@DaddyDM @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Careful, you might open the road to massive rules lawyering
— Christopher Erickson (@curmudgeonylib) August 15, 2016
@curmudgeonylib @DaddyDM @JeremyECrawford yeah, I do it on a case-by-case basis
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 15, 2016
@dave_dyson @DaddyDM @JeremyECrawford I wouldn’t allow the same bonus action twice in a round, though (unless it can also be an Action) agreed #WOTCstaff
