@knlndrsWhen a druid wildshapes, does the druid gain the new forms max hp or the printed average hp; i.e. Dire Wolf 5d10+10=60HP or 37HP
printed average

Unarmed Strike and Two-weapon fighting
@danielceagle @AntarianRanger @gregbilslandCan “Unarmed Strike” be used to make 2 attacks ala Two Weapon fighting? Is fist “light”?
unarmed attacks are not light – specifically to avoid second attacks

@danielceagle @AntarianRanger @gregbilsland it causes issues where I can have a sword and shield, attack with sword, put away sword, punch

Monk Stoneskin
@JeremyECrawford stoneskin seems useles for the monk, lose 5 ki points to get resistance and then probably lose it after 1st hit?
— Ivan Cortez (@IvanCortez_) July 7, 2015
Best to use stoneskin when its resistance is most needed. Also, the monk is proficient in Con. saves by 14th level. https://t.co/xGs18fNd5p

Psionic paths
@mikemearls Curious: will Awakened Mystic be getting any combat-based Disciplines? Having only one thing to do seems a bit dull currently.
Not that the current isn't good for RPing, Immortal seems like the only one who gets things to do both fronts (with its speed).
— Jordan Shepherd (@LurkerShep) July 10, 2015
@LurkerShep yeah, they'll be more variety for both paths.

Paladin javelin
Question: If a 13th level Paladin (+5 prof, -1 Dex, +5 Str) chooses to use a Javelin as a melee weapon how should the “to hit” bonus be properly calculated?
Tough Rich
PHB p.147 “If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon.”
So you can use your str instead dex. Total will be +10

Two proficiency tools
@gaaran00bwhat do you do if you get proficiency in a tool from 2 places, like Rogue + Urchin/criminal regarding thieves tools swap second one with tool or skill of your choice
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 28, 2015
@skaughtbowden @gaaran00bDoes this also apply if you had disguise kit as entertainer background, then chose rogue: assassin at level 3? IMO, yes, I'd let player make another choice. Not 100% sure that's rule as written

Polymorph and languages
@JeremyECrawford if a PC is polymorphed into a troll (by polymorph spell) does PC retain languages, or can only speak giant?
— David Pozorski (@DavidPozorski) July 7, 2015
If transformed by the true polymorph spell, the creature would speak what the new form speaks. https://t.co/Tm8MEOc4do

Arctic Pirates encounter
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Any ideas on how to spice up my Sunday night encounter? Theme: Arctic Pirates.
— Duragar Ironroc (@Dvergr76) July 3, 2015
Snow elves on tauntauns help the party battle pirates on ice skates. Or maybe a frost giant on a humongous walrus. https://t.co/df65C4kH4d

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @Dvergr76 Really hope this is a sneak preview of our upcoming campaign, Chris.
