@tjfalcon1Strength of the Grave DC 5+dmg taken is a huge benefit, easy at low level, loses effectiveness at higher level, intentional?
yes – it's good for dealing with weenies, not so good for heavy hitters

Tunnel Fighter Attacks of Opportunity
@stevey @frasmageTunnel Fighter in “Defensive Stance” might have max number of AoO set at Dex bonus? Unlimited seems wrong. (idea via @frasmage) we'll see how it bears out in play – it seems really good, but mitigated since enemies have to decide to activate it

Dire Bear
@ChrisPerkinsDnD will the Dire Bear be back in 5e? my Bear Warrior – Barbarian/Druid would certainly want to wild shape into one.

The 3e/3.5e dire bear = the 1e/2e/5e cave bear (see the polar bear entry in appendix A of the 5e MONSTER MANUAL). https://t.co/bpuCCTxMJ1

Does Spirit Guardian move with caster or is it stationary?
@JeremyECrawford Does Spirit Guardian move with caster or is it stationary?It's not worded like Anti-Magic Field or Aura of Purity.Both Move
— Ed Piper (@edpiper) September 29, 2015
The spirits of spirit guardians are meant to move with the caster: "They flit around you … for the duration." #DnD https://t.co/R9AJdxiJgT

Last wish
@JeremyECrawford Casting Wish: do you always have a 33% chance of never casting it again or is it only if you cast another spell b4 a rest?
— Nicholas DeVito (@NDevito1) September 29, 2015
There's a 33% chance of not casting wish again if it does anything other than duplicate a spell of level 0-8. #DnD https://t.co/9VB77SazbY

Storm Sorcerer – Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide
Quick note about the storm sorcerer in the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide – bonus spells were removed based on playtest feedback.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 25, 2015
Which might sound weird, because people really liked that sorcerer and the bonus spells. However, implementing feedback is never that simple
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 25, 2015
The original sorcerer is rated very well without bonus spells. Having sorcerous origins with them would make PHB ones look weaker.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 25, 2015
The class didn't need the buff, and while people like the idea of the bonus spells, they don't fit with the game's overall structure.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 25, 2015
You can expect that kind of revision as UA material enters the environment – we sometimes try stuff in UA to get a sense of future paths.

Rune Magic – Opal of the Ild Rune
@bpolitteA question about the Opal of the Ild Rune. Does the combustion property require an attack roll? nope
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 6, 2015
@bpolitte @JuanMTejadaHI asked because the other runes’ similar powers all required saves (but they also do better damage).
it requires no save – idea is that fire is undeniable, also requires touch
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 10, 2015
@JuanMTejadaH @bpolitteBut its combustion just an action or an special attack action (For example: How will it work with Sanctuary?) i'd consider it a hostile act for purposes of the spell, not technically an attack but requires a save

Is an elf born in Hades a fiend?
@eightspancrowre:fiends.MM says fiends are native to Lower Planes.Does native mean indigenous or just born in?Is an elf born in Hades a fiend? native = composed of the stuff of that plane, so no on the elf unless DM wants it to be otherwise
