@JeremyECrawford You’ve previously said that game features that require a weapon refer to items on the weapon table in the PHB. With that being said, does the Tentacle Rod count as a weapon for these features? The description states it is a magic weapon.

If a rule says something is a weapon, that thing is a weapon, and it qualifies for other rules that require a weapon.
For example, the tentacle rod's description says, "This rod is a magic weapon." That means it's a weapon. #DnD https://t.co/nGwNXoFidS
