@Ahh_I_DiedRegarding Wrlk Pact Magic: Switching spells; Must I take new Spell Slot Level spell (2nd@L4)or can I get lower? ex.Enthall->Hex? I believe you can always opt for a lower level option

Does a Wand of Fireball need presence of sunlight?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Can Wand of Fireball recharge in Underdark or does it need presence of sunlight? Rules say it recharges at dawn. You rock!

A magic item doesn't need sunlight to recharge unless it specifically says so. "At dawn" is simply a moment in time. https://t.co/q4WNWi4Tbk

Does Polymorph let the caster pick the form of the beast?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls does Polymorph let the caster pick the form of the beast? Wording is precise for True Polymoph, not Polymorph

Believe caster picks – at least, that's the design intent. https://t.co/XtXpI2v2AU

Totem Barbarian with Athletics
Thog, a Totem Barb gets Athletics at lvl 1 At lvl 6, he chooses Tiger totem with Athletics skill. What happens?
Not sure what rules say, but I’d let him pick any skill of his choice. https://t.co/a61W0iWgjU

RPG writers mess up
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Where do you think most tabletop RPG module/campaign writers mess up the most?
— Insomniacs Ink (@insomniacsink) January 1, 2016
Creating encounters that can be solved or handled only one way. Good adventures take player creativity into account. https://t.co/aL5IMkZCbW

@TimesNewPwnin @ChrisPerkinsDnDRead about Tucker’s Kobolds to get ideas for intelligent mobs acting intelligently. I'm not actually looking to make them more challenging, I'm trying to play them realistically without a TPK.

Give the characters chances to run away, bribe bad guys, turn one bad guy against another, etc. https://t.co/3u23IQyIDf

Ed’s book
She walks in beauty, like the night
When great new book greets my eyes
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in the pages-and my sighs

Would a large object take up the same amount of squares as a large creature?
@mikemearls when playing with a grid map would a large object generally take up the same amount of squares as a large creature?
— Derek P. (@rderekp) January 5, 2016
That works. You can also directly convert size, at 5 feet per square. So, a 10' x 5' block is 2 x 1 squares. https://t.co/Zm7qZ0037I
