@Doc_Sunso with the eratta out my players are still fighting about twin spelling aoe spells. they claim NO targets so it can be 1/2
they are wrong

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 11, 2015

@Doc_SunAwesome So Fireball or any similar aoe spell can not be twined? correct!

Addressing a nuance in the PH errata: the rule lets melee weapon attacks use unarmed strikes, despite those strikes not being weapons.

@JeremyECrawford Does this mean unarmed strikes bypass resistance to bludgeoning damage from nonmagical weapons?

— Jonathan Longstaff (@pukunui81) June 11, 2015

The intent is resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning damage, regardless of source (MM errata preview). https://t.co/ejcDpHS2V2

@pukunui81What is the idea behind making unarmed strikes not weapons? How does this change affect monks?
Unarmed strikes never should have appeared as weapons, hence the correction. The monk is barely affected.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 11, 2015

@DnDJesterExcept that monks can no longer use Stunning Strike (level 5) with unarmed strikes.
A monk can still use Stunning Strike with an unarmed strike. @pukunui81

@JestaKillaBut what problem does this solve? How does this improve the game? Not seeing it, trying to understand. The unarmed strike mistake caused a number of problems in the system. See Dueling in the fighter for one example. @pukunui81

@pukunui81 Re: errata – why not add ray of sickness to warlock spell list? It’s thematically appropriate enough.Doing so would have been beyond the scope of the changes, which were focused on correcting errors.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 11, 2015

@pukunui81Mightn’t the error simply have been omitting the spell from the warlock spell list?
If that was the error, we certainly would have corrected it.

@Arksorn1Is intent that monk stunning strike which req “hit…with a melee weapon attack” will not work with unarmed strike?
You can make a melee weapon attack with an unarmed strike, so a monk can use Stunning Strike with an unarmed strike.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Any advice for someone looking to get into RPG/Dnd industry?

— Leo G (@PhantasticJoe) May 19, 2015

I can't speak for the industry. For WotC: Apply for open positions and convince us that you're awesome. https://t.co/NGS0z7XejV

"if you have crossbow expert feat can you make a ranged attack with throwing wpn within 5 feet of an enemy without disvtge?" Yep!
