@WolfHunter83 It’s possible to maintain Concentration on a spell during a Short or Long Rest? depends if you sleep – I'd say you lose it if you do so

@zudensachenSuggestions for strange trinkets to be found on wandering monsters or in lairs in tonight’s 5ed game of Isle of dread? @mikemearls pls RT shrunken head with eyes that sometimes move; tooth from an unimaginable huge dinosaur; one quarter of a treasure map

@Morrus @Trevor_WotC The CR index is in the DMG (and an upcoming PDF) with the other encounter-building tools. Also monsters by environment!

@wotc_rodney Question would you know why the Terrasque is missing it's iconic Regen and immortality. Along with a way to deal with flyers.

— Envyus (@CHoffos) September 18, 2014

@CHoffos Honestly, @ChrisPerkinsDnD is the better person to ask about that.

— Rodney Thompson (@AntarianRanger) September 18, 2014

@CHoffos @wotc_rodney The tarrasque doesn't need regeneration because it has ALL THE HIT POINTS. It's still immortal, tho.

Alignment in 5e describes things but does not define them. A fallen paladin = breaking an oath, not alignment.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

@tpvincent So at what point do we not need align grid anymore, then? At what point is it baggage from strict older versions and confusing? it's an easy way to break creatures, factions, and other parts of the world down along a couple of key conflicts in the world

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

@tpvincentFair enough. I may be thinking too small scale. Or too paranoid about GMs thinking Lawful Good is Honor Before Reason. Yeah, it was a big shift on my end. DMG talks about it and covers creating an alignment system for your own campaign.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

@JustinDJacobson alignment is a keyword. It doesn’t do anything on its own but it interacts with other mechanics triggered off that keyword. we actually tried to avoid that in 5e – don't want personality to be a mechanic outside of roleplay

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

Regarding alignment & mechanics in 5e: Think of it like a bond or trait, and consider whether you'd want mechanics to key off of them, too.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

@zudensachenanother way of gaining inspiration, then? that would be a great use of it, and I can't believe I hadn't thought of that earlier.

@JamesMusicusis Necromancy inherently evil in 5e? Will there be the possibility of neutral or even good Necromancers? I don't believe the game casts necromancy as inherently evil.

@JabJabSliceJab @JamesMusicusI can totally see a Thayan expatriate necromancer who is surprised at everyone’s reaction. “You’re so provincial!” I've played that character!

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2014

@JabJabSliceJab @JamesMusicus He animated the paladin's dead warhorse and didn't not understand how that wasn't an upgrade.

@yukarjamaDoes rolling natural 1 on a saving throw always a failure? nope
