@DonVSnellIs there another way to ask you and the team rules questions that are too long for twitter? Or are you ok w/ multi-tweets? Please send long questions to sageadvice@wizards.com.

Giants pick up medium size characters and hurl them!
@demonsbane1 @JeremyECrawfordDoes 5E design philosophy allows Giants to pick human sized characters painfully hurling them against walls? yes! I'd allow PC's choice of Str or Dex save (DC 10 + giant's Str mod). Fail save, throw up to 30 ft, 4d6 dmg

@demonsbane1 @JeremyECrawford All in a single round I guess? Well, that’s hugely dynamic and cool!
yeah, I'd say it's an action

@warderbrad @demonsbane1 @JeremyECrawfordThis strikes me as a grapple and if successful then the throw next round. you could slice it that way, but I like speedy resolution myself

Thunderball spell beta
Was chatting with @JeremyECrawford yesterday that spells that swap energy type need more than that. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/8GcofMlKCN

Can a hidden creature attack an unsuspecting target before combat begins?
@JeremyECrawford Can a hidden creature attack an unsuspecting target before combat begins?

Outside combat, you roll initiative if you declare an attack against a foe. You then take action on your turn. #DnD https://t.co/HJjBaKm2Ok

@imnotasnowflake @CKCamelliaif a creature is surprised, they don’t get an action though, correct? A surprised creature wastes its turn being surprised, since it can't take an action.

Madness at Gardmore Abbey 5e conversion
There is a fan-made 5e conversion of Madness at Gardmore Abbey: https://t.co/ZmWjaV3htA It’s a great #DnD adventure.

If you want to know more about Madness at Gardmore Abbey adventure check here: Madness at Gardmore Abbey
“A thrilling heroic-tier adventure for characters of levels 6-8.
This deluxe adventure takes heroes into the ruins of Gardmore Abbey, a monastery that was once the base of a militant order of paladins devoted to Bahamut. According to legend, the paladins brought a dark artifact back from a far crusade and stored it in their abbey for safekeeping, and evil forces gathered to assault the abbey and take it back. What the legends don’t tell is that this artifact was actually the Deck of Many Things, a force of pure Chaos.
This adventure brings characters into the extensive dungeons beneath the ruins – dungeons that are warped and twisted with the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the cards of the deck.”
How importantly are magical items to PCs early on in 5e?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD How importantly are magical items to PCs early on in 5e. Does the system expect them to have items by level 4?
— James (@mjames1970) November 14, 2015
The system doesn't expect characters to have magic items. If they have them, great. If not, great. https://t.co/Q2Tix8YrqG

Can spells be cast using a higher spell slot than their original spell level?
@JeremyECrawford Can spells such as Dimension Door be cast using a higher spell slot than their original spell level?
— Spencer (@206Siro) November 12, 2015
Any spell can be cast with a spell slot of its level or higher. See "Spell Slots" on p. 201 of the PH. #DnD https://t.co/1MzNbZeaCs

Why is College of Sword the same as College of Valor ?
@mikemearls errr… why is college of sword the same as college of valor ? otherwise the rest is awesome.

There are a couple of pieces, like multiple attacks, that both need to stay on target in terms of power. https://t.co/PBRJqXpn07

@mikemearls College of Swords seems very underpowered. Bardic Inspiration is basically a daily resource. As it is here, it looks encounter.
— Lord Archaon (@LordArchaon) January 5, 2016
Keep in mind that the bard is a full caster, so inspiration isn't meant to be heavy hitting. Compare vs. other bards https://t.co/urxBonoaux

.@mikemearls Warduke's method of "inspiration" involves much heavy hitting. For me, I find fear inspires my minions properly.
