@wachunga Can a wizard move 90 feet in a turn with Expeditious Retreat by double dashing? (or a rogue with Cunning Action etc) yes, believe so

@zudensachendoes a Ranger’s companion heal on short and long rests, like a character, pls? yes – they use hit dice like characters

@allenshock1also, rogue firing at someone with enemy within 5 ft gets crit but if ranged, target gets cover bonus to AC as well? yes, other creatures can provide cover, though DM adjudicates based on situatiob

@allenshock1if someone hits a unconscious character that’s a crit and so two death save falilures, correct? sounds right – sorry, don't have book with me

@Miahkai so honest question, what was the reasoning of limiting sneak attack to light weapons, but giving rogues Longsword prof? useful for when you don't have sneak attack

@__BlackHumor__High-lvl druid wildshapes into form with much less HP. Enemy caster casts Sleep on her. Is she unconscious? Still in wildshape? unconscious – basically ignore Druid stats unless it says otherwise

@wachunga Just noticed that 5e sorcerers don’t have ritual casting, but bards do. Is that deliberate? I don’t see the logic there. bards rely on study and lore to learn magic, sorcerers are prodigies who don't engage in study.
