@JeremyECrawford When someone fails a disintegrate roll and is turned to ash, would that be considered a transformation into a new form?

A transformation into a new form? No. The annihilation of your body? Yes. #DnD https://t.co/eFJPmFXCvY

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Could a NPC be transformed/cursed to be a Spectator? And are spectators naturally green? Can they be other colors?
— Nicholas Woodman (@Red_Finch) October 6, 2015
Anything is possible. And yes. https://t.co/ICOlz31K4y

@ChrisPerkinsDnD PCs considering ignoring summons from Fire Giant King to discuss them killing his warriors – consequences?
— Daniel John O'Shea (@DanSingsAndHits) September 20, 2015
Maybe the fire giant king should fake a heart attack and spread false rumors that his court is ripe for attack. https://t.co/nZ3MQXpqLs

@JeremyECrawford Natural armor is listed as an AC bonus because it is an AC bonus yes? It works the same way as a shield does?
— Foxy Boxes (@_FoxyBoxes_) September 11, 2015
In an AC calculation, natural armor takes the place of armor, and you can pair a shield with it. https://t.co/Q9Wc1KmR2Z
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_ then why is it always listed as a “natural armor bonus”?
Where do you see that?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Also p.3 of the Monster Manual. And p.276 of the DMG
— Foxy Boxes (@_FoxyBoxes_) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_Dungeon Master’s Guide p.282
See the section "Determine an Appropriate AC" (DMG, 276) for how to use the natural armor information in the table on p. 282.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_So it’s called a bonus but isn’t? Also p.272 is identical to unarmored+shield, coincidence or…? "A monster that doesn't wear armor …" does, indeed, refer to a monster that doesn't wear armor.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_But it’s not a bonus, just another way to calculate AC? That’s just confusing.
I'm not sure what's causing the confusion. The DMG says how to use the bonus. How are you hoping to use it?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_with Unarmored Defense You're playing a druid/barbarian or druid/monk and want to pair Unarmored Defense with natural armor in beast form?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 11, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_Hence the confusion of a bonus that isn’t a bonus except when it presents a different AC calculation method O.o This is a gray area, for sure. As DM, I err on the side of generosity and would let natural armor work with Unarmored Defense.

@JeremyECrawford Class features and feats sometimes affect a shapechanged Moon Druid, does the Tough feat have an affect while shifting?
— Michael (@Michael73604823) September 9, 2015
The intent is no. The Tough feat affects a druid's hp, which are replaced by the beast's hp while using Wild Shape. https://t.co/kqG05DmOVb

@ChrisPerkinsDnD my 5e book binding has completely fallen apart. Is WotC replacing these?
— Mike Boulay (@Mikbou) October 6, 2015
Yes. Contact Wizards customer service to get a replacement. https://t.co/D0Q4ZQ9GZA

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hi Chris, quick question: the demons called "Manes" – how's that pronounced? Mains? Manus? Maness? Mayness? Help a DM out.
— Miracle Alex (@NonagonNonsense) October 6, 2015
Manes (MAN-us) is close enough, if you assume D&D borrowed the Latin "manes." https://t.co/uuLjjhgum1
