@MadAdam_would trans people (or something similar) exist within the Forgotten Realms/Faerun setting? Oh, yes. Have since my very first finished Realms story (1965 or 1966), and always will.

@delimancerI appreciate the sentiment behind @TheEdVerse weighing in on #baldurgate, but its painful to see him equate transness to a sex thing Well, it'd perhaps be painful if I'd ever done that.

@delimancer …Sorry for the outdated nomenclature. Showing my age, I guess.

@TheEdVerse It can be unfortunately rare to see people in the hobby so accepting and positive, so I apologize if I came off a tad cynical.

@TheEdVerse I didn't know this! Thank you for taking the time to clarify what you meant and not just blowing me off, it means a lot.

@JeremyECrawford Are the beads from a necklace of fireballs meant to be reused, or are the beads consumed when they are detached and thrown?

The bead of a necklace of fireballs detonates when thrown. Boom! It's gone. #DnD https://t.co/jof4i9qJ4i

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls How long does it take for a Rust Monster to starve to death? I am assuming weeks if not more.

— post post modern dad (@ppmdad) March 12, 2016

80 days or so, assuming it has access to water https://t.co/nm57GYdCi2

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls How about how long does it take for a rust monster to decompose in a dungeon with no scavengers?

— post post modern dad (@ppmdad) March 12, 2016

About a month, depending on conditions. Also, never guessed I'd answer such queries for a living. https://t.co/d5uZlbxU1W

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls related – how long after death does a rust monster does it rust metal on contact?

I'd say 6d10 minutes. https://t.co/hJ4ekGnQKw

@mikemearls You should require people to mail you a SASE with these questions, written on 3×5 cards.

@madjackmcmad yes/no questions only, please!

@LeonardoRaeleAiming to use UA Mass Combat in Iceshield Orcs encounter in PotA. How should I handle walls, ridges, ditches and crenellations? I'd treat them as difficult terrain and cover – think of each stand as a single creature in the standard combat rules

@aleguarita about Monster Hunter UA: if the I use Monster Slayer feature and roll a critical, the extra superiority critical dice are maxed? yes
