@khersheyjrCan the caster of the spell Darkness see or is he effectively blinded as well as everything else in its radius? blocks everyone's sight, unless spell specifically states otherwise

DnD
How to use Intelligence
@maialidethAny suggestions on how to turn Intelligence from being considered a dump stat to useful?
Int. is key in my games—paired with its usual skills and sometimes others, like Persuasion. @ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls

@maialideth @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford idea we dropped from game – knowledge check auto succes based on Int score
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 7, 2015
@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford Regardless if proficient in the skill?
— Michael V. Drejer (@maialideth) June 7, 2015
@maialideth @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford I'd say yes, maybe add prof bonus to score for auto success

@maialideth @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford also toyed with giving wrong info for low Int. int lacks a real drawback vs other scores
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 7, 2015
@maialideth @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawfordThanks for your input. Knowledge skills are important in my games too. How about Int saves? i'd use them for tests of wits, psionics

Trees for a map
Here's are fairly iconic representations of trees. I did not create this map, but merely scooped it off the net. pic.twitter.com/BIKXOOo7Oc

Wind Wall against Breath weapons
@jason_lemerydoes the Wind Wall mitigate damage from breath weapons? #dndproblems As a DM, I'd let the wind wall spell protect against a gaseous breath weapon, but not against something like lightning.

New vehicles tips
@WolfHunter83 If I wanted to design new vehicles, how could I determine HP, AC, Damage Treshold and similar factors?
I'd pick a vehicle (DMG, 119) that's close to the size I want and then reskin or tweak it. No need to do extensive design.

Ranger favored enemy ribbon
@MrSchlessel the design concept of ribbons was mentioned recently was the rangers favored enemy ability considered a ribbon? it seems so
The ranger's Favored Enemy feature definitely has ribbon-like aspects.

Evasion
@CMDR_MLDRNeed help with the rules, when I need to pay taxes do I just roll reflex for half, or does evasion work?
evasion works if the tax man blows his perception check

Sneak Attack during the same turn
@gaaran00bDoes Opportunity Reaction count as a separate turn regarding Sneak Attacks? As in, can I make a 2nd Snk Atk using AoO?
You can use Sneak Attack with an opportunity attack if you haven't already used Sneak Attack during the same turn somehow.
