@Level1HumanGrabbing component bag or an arcane focus from belt count as your one free object interaction or assumed part of casting action? I'd assume it's part of casting

@jaceimba Monsters like Barlgura has a trait allows 40ft jump while having base move of 30. Does it need to dash to get the full benefit? I'd say no, but Crawford disagrees

@Hutchimus if a paladin casts Summon Mount do those mounts get an attack action a la the Playtest’s Celestial Charger ability or no? don't believe so – I think paladin needs to command mount to attack

@Floyd_Rhyan To which saves does the animal companion add the ranger’s proficiency bonus? CR1/4 beasts are not proficient with any saves That text is there for the sake of thoroughness; if you find a beast that does have a save proficiency, the ranger's applies.

@ScottManwell Hey Mike! If a priest missed their ATT roll with a Touch spell (say, inflict wounds) – does that blow the spell slot on a miss? don't have a PHB, but I think the spell is lost

@icehawke Q about resists. Tiefling gets fire resist. If the char gets another fire resist effect do they stack for 1/4 or something else? nope, they do not stack

@ReubenFontanaMany effects key off being “within 5 feet” such as disadvantage on ranged attacks. Does having longer reach extend that? nope – an effect will either specify a distance or say your reach

@mikemearls Seems strange that an archer can back away from someone with 10 ft reach and fire with no penalty, but not from something with 5

@ReubenFontanaThanks so much for the clarification, by the way. Loving 5e so far. The spear and trident are identical as written, intentional? yes – trident has never been too popular, so we didn't want to make it complex to differentiate it.

@ReubenFontana it's the disadvantage of being big – longer reach, but less finesse

@ArandmoorCould you go through a simple combat and illustrate how wildshape works? Specifically using forms with more hp than the druid. It's pretty simple: while in the beast form of wild shape, you use that beast's hp. When that form runs out of hp, you revert.

@ArandmoorYou have 15hp, change into a form with 25hp, take 12 damage, then change back. How many HP do you have? 15.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 10, 2014

@ArandmoorWhat would have to happen for me to change back into druid form with less than max hp? At 20 it seems like this would be broken In the example you gave, if you have 15 hp, turn into a 25 hp beast, take 30 damage, you revert and have 10 hp.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 10, 2014

@Arandmoor The beast form absorbs 25 points of the damage, then 5 carries over to your normal form.
