Is Wild Shaped Druid immune to Charm Person, Hold Person?
@mahalivesIs Wild Shaped Druid immune to Charm Person, Hold Person etc. that target humanoids? yes
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 18, 2015
@mahalives Thanks–if Druid under Charm Person goes Wild Shape, does effect end?
believe no – restricts targeting, not ongoing effect

How would you handle surprise if a 3rd group ambushed 2 groups already fighting together?
@b_coulthardThx Mike, limited space on Twitter. But, how would you handle surprise if a 3rd grp ambushed 2 groups already fighting together. 3rd group is hidden, gains advantage and related benefits, but does not actually gain surprise by mechanical definition
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 2, 2015
@b_coulthard more precisely, 3rd group rolls initiative, inserted into combat order, starts out hidden
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 2, 2015
@b_coulthardThx for your reply. This mechanic feels wrong to me as a long time DM. Why not allow surprise, ambushers lose valuable options? surprise applies to someone not currently engaged in a fight – otherwise, any instance of hiding would trigger it

Are attacks allowed outside of initiative combat?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Are attacks allowed outside of initiative combat? Is initiative rolled before or after an attack is declared? Forum debate.
— Steven (@welshstevenc1) December 2, 2015
The PH states that initiative is rolled "when combat starts," which I take to mean before any attack is resolved. https://t.co/OnLiYeMMCC
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) December 2, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD The temptation is extremely strong to resolve the attack when, during a heated non-combat moment, someone hits someone.

Rules interpretations aside, the DM can do whatever he or she thinks is right and good for the game. https://t.co/87r1l0VfbT

Would paladin auras no longer stack?
@BobbyBarbarianWith the new errata would paladin auras no longer stack? That's correct.

Identifies Magic Item: Short Rest vs Identify
@JeremyECrawford Since resting identifies magic items, and Identify spell doesn't spot curses, what is the role of the Identify spell? #dnd
— Maha (@mahalives) November 28, 2015
Short rest: identify 1 magic item in 1 hour. Identify spell: gain more information in 1–11 minutes. #DnD https://t.co/RB7NLk2IRh

Homework for players
@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm giving my players homework tonight. Anything you think I should add? pic.twitter.com/3bXfxS9jiz

I'd actually trim down the list a bit. That's a lot to think about! https://t.co/DXF5vMx6ka

What’s the best way to running a vampire?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls What's the best way to get the most fun out of running a 5e vampire in combat? #dnd
— SlyFlourish (@SlyFlourish) November 22, 2015
Vampires play a long game—enthrall foes and their friends, escape, send minions, escape again, sip a fine red. #DnD https://t.co/nCO8h56j1W

@SlyFlourish @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford the part where the vamp reveals your best friend is now both a vampire and her chief henchman
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) November 23, 2015
Hit-and-run tactics, with narrow places for the vampire to slip through in gaseous form. Also, charm. And minions! https://t.co/9hfk1Od705
