@JeremyECrawford Halfelf variant in swordcoast should it be Keen senses AND a trait and not OR? Why trade any 2 skills for just perception?
— Juan Aviles (@aviles316) November 11, 2015
The half-elf's Keen Senses option in the SCAG is, alas, superfluous. Take one of the juicy options below it. #DnD https://t.co/EsJtqzuOWw

A shield isn’t a weapon. Otherwise the Duelist style wouldn’t work with a shield, which Sage Advice says it can.
@mackenzie884 A shield certainly isn’t a weapon, but like many things, it can be used as an improvised weapon.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
An improvised weapon is a weapon. It’s right there in the name: Improvised WEAPON. If a shield is an IW then no Duelist
@mackenzie884 An improvised weapon is, indeed, a weapon, but only the moment it’s used as such. A chair/shield/etc isn’t a weapon otherwise.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
So now I can have Duelist +2 dmg, Shield +2 AC, AND a second IW attack? Yes/no?
@mackenzie884 In this scenario, how are you getting a second attack with the shield?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
The shield is an IW off-hand. Attack #1 longsword, bonus action attack #2 with shield. In attack #1, Duelist is satisfied?
During my Longsword attack, is the Duelist condition satisfied? Then I make an off-hand IW attack on my bonus with shield.
@mackenzie884 I’ll ask my question differently: what game feature is letting you attack with the shield as a bonus action?

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I need to name a pair of imps that follow around one of my particularly evil NPCs. Any ideas?

@JeremyECrawford Do you get a turn after rolling critical 20 on death saving throw or does your turn end there?
— Dimitris Gkelis (@DimitrisGkelis) November 16, 2015
You make a death save when your turn starts. If you roll a 20, the 1 hp you gain lets you then act. #DnD https://t.co/9Lqm95B1p7
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
@giulimik @DimitrisGkelis “then” means in the same turn of death save or your next one?
The same one. That's why the save is at the start of your turn.

Players and Dungeon Masters!
Could be a long speech but it’s gold. Master Chris is a volcano eruption: you can hear rumbling from past editions, passion, dungeon mastering formulas and the next adventure setting… Ravenloft maybe?

We are trying to sell products that 100 percent of our fans are going to want to use.

We wanted to go to the nostalgia well again with rage of demons and resurface all the demon lords that we liked of old.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
One of the things we are going to be doing in the future is looking at some of our other worlds.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We want to balance the mood of each story so they stand on their own and we don’t stay in “edgy dark” D&D territory for 3 years.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
At this time we are working on 4 stories. Two for next year and two more in a fairly advanced state.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We do have an upcoming story that does go back to a past adventure. Doesn’t feature dragons.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
Giants have always been classic D&D monsters. Always tricky from a digital game perspective because of size. You don’t want to fight legs.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We’ve brought in many consultants which is new for us. We’ve looked at many new consultants including those that have never worked on D&D.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
We’re going to be changing up the 1-15 or so model for story arcs. Could be just low level, could be just high.
— Gamehole Con (@GameholeCon) November 7, 2015
One of our upcoming products is short, but tremendously replayable. You could play it 200 times and never have it be the same.

@JeremyECrawford So a monk can't use unarmed for Stunning Strike? Kung Fu movies taught me unarmed can do anything.
— Sean Bonney (@seanbonney) November 16, 2015
From earlier this year: Stunning Strike requires a melee weapon attack. An unarmed strike qualifies. #DnD https://t.co/nO4AK5QxKz
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 16, 2015
@seanbonneySounds good to me. Though today’s Rules about Sneak Attack confused me: “An unarmed strike isn’t a weapon” An unarmed strike is an exceptional nonweapon that can make melee weapon attacks.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 16, 2015
@JJRTracyso I’m summary… Unarmed strikes are not considered melee weapons, but do make melee weapon attacks. That's correct. They're exceptional.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 16, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Contradiction in latest Rules answer? Do surprised combatants get a turn in the first round? If so, when in initiative?
— sninne (@Amos_Fawkes) November 17, 2015
If you're surprised, your turn happens on your initiative as normal, but you can't do anything during it. #DnD https://t.co/ZW2NHxFdbc
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Oh Turn/=Act? Surprised creature still get their turn in initiative order as normal? The clarifications just aren't clear.
— sninne (@Amos_Fawkes) November 17, 2015
@Amos_Fawkes There are many circumstances in which you can have a turn but not be able to act, such as when you're incapacitated.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 17, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD could you have a bird familiar/pet for a non-wizard PC that could survey for you like Mage Eye?
— Nicholas Woodman (@Red_Finch) September 28, 2015
That's between the player and the DM. Any thing's possible with the DM's permission. https://t.co/hnCORLODih
