@WJNMN @JeremyECrawfordLost Mines; a PC used a spell to freeze water while another held goblin’s head under the water. WTF do I do? I'd rule the goblin begins to suffocate #wotcstaff

@jl_nicegirl Barnes & Noble. I picked it up just recently after misplacing my dog-eared paperback copy.

@chrisperkinsdnd Last fall you tweeted all your horror reads; Curse of Strahd appeared. Now Dune, maybe something sand-based is next?

There's a number of books that I enjoy reading again and again. Dune is one of them. https://t.co/QXzJO7Pgib

How should I handle cone spells on grid?
@PhilippMordasheHow should I handle cone spells on grid? I’ve made triangle papercut for 15ft cone, but it contradicts diagonal movement rules I'd go with the paper, hitting any square 50% or more filled #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 15, 2016
@PhilippMordashewhat about squares with less than 50%? Are they hit but with advantage on saving throws or not hit at all? I'd run it as non hit at all, but save with advantage is a good compromise #wotcstaff

Can you cast dispel magic on an object or person you can’t see?
@vaughn1898can you cast dispel magic on an object or person you can’t see or touch due to invisibility spell? yes, unless you are unaware of its presence (hidden creature or object)

Would it break game if I gave Eldritch Knight Druid spells?
@userZynx @ChrisPerkinsDnDwould it break game if I gave Eldritch Knight Druid spells instead of Wizard spells, using Wis instead of Int? nope
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 13, 2016
@DoctorBadWolf @userZynx @ChrisPerkinsDnDoh! Also divine Rangers and Druid spell arcane tricksters! What about Paladins with Druid spells? swapping spell lists is essentially power neutral #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 14, 2016
@userZynx @DoctorBadWolf @ChrisPerkinsDnDExcept for modifying Warlock spell list, right? I believe it was built to avoid certain spells? yes – generally most spells that require concentration

Semi-spoilery Curse of Strahd DMing
@ChrisPerkinsDnD semi-spoilery CoS DMing question: how much AC does Exethanter's phylactery have? Followup: can it be critted?
— Ozzie Olin (@OzzieOlin) August 4, 2016
The adventure reveals the way to destroy the phylactery. It is otherwise indestructible. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/AMPIunZY4z
— (((Chris Perkins))) (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 4, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD But a player needs a Divine Smite or a Sun Blade to deal radiant damage to an object. No attack roll needed for those here?
— Ozzie Olin (@OzzieOlin) August 4, 2016
No attack roll needed. https://t.co/QdhI952gDf

Is it a bad idea to let a Bladelock take the Lifedrinker invocation before 12th level?
@dmvarrowe69 @JeremyECrawfordIs it a bad idea to let a Bladelock take the Lifedrinker invocation before 12th level? it probably doesn't break anything – if the 'lock is lagging in your game, can help #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 11, 2016
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford ten why the level lock on the invocation? Curiosity is nagging at me now 😛
— Nathaemius Varrowe (@dmvarrowe69) August 11, 2016
We set level based on general trends for fairness and typical game. Campaign/DM can shift that. #wotcstaff https://t.co/UUhGa4HDAr

@samiam8910Like preventing Polymorph before 7, or being able to constantly scope out dungeons, etc. with Arcane Eye until 15? exactly

How Resurrection works on a dead zombie?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD if a living creature is zombified by Finger of Death, then the zombie killed, will Resurrection work or are they "undead"?
— Mark Green (@mgreen) July 30, 2016
Open to interpretation. I'd allow the spell to work because IMO a "killed" zombie is no longer undead. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/0vZh9ZqRiD
— (((Chris Perkins))) (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) July 30, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Personally, I wouldn't allow one who was undead to be Resurrected because in my world, being turned undead hurts the soul.
