Sentinel feat on a flying creature with the “flyby” trait
@JeremyECrawford Wil you be able to get OA with the sentinel feat on a flying creature with the "flyby" trait?
— Bernt Bergum (@Maraxion) October 17, 2016
A Flyby creature doesn't provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of a foe's reach. Nothing in the Sentinel feat counters that. #DnD https://t.co/1p8AQBBqvu

@JeremyECrawford @Maraxion on that note, would a pole arm master get an OA as the flyby enters range?
— Dreadwolf (@HVargavinter) October 17, 2016
Flyby protects you when you fly out of a foe's reach, not when you fly into it. #DnD https://t.co/cBMv5Yh8Kj

Can you hide from a creature with blindsight?
@JeremyECrawford Can you hide from a creature with blindsight: behind a pillar? In a barrel? Around a corner? Behind a wall? Camouflaged?
— Poljack (@Poljack) June 17, 2016
You can't hide from a creature if you're in its blindsight radius, unless magic cloaks your presence entirely. #DnD https://t.co/9lEjumLFYt

Can a fighter use rally on himself?
@JeremyECrawford Can a fighter use rally on himself? It uses the same language noted in spells targeting yourself on page 204.
— Colin Smith (@NerfPyroPlz) September 28, 2016
The Rally feature targets one of your companions—an ally of yours. #DnD https://t.co/zC7Tf6Q5AV
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 26, 2016
@NerfPyroPlzAre you sure? Same language in inspiring leader to a different effect. Isn’t ‘a creature you can see and hear’ the target? The pertinent words in Rally are "a friendly creature."
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 28, 2016
@NerfPyroPlzThanks for the response, but I’m still confused. Inspiring leader also says “friendly creatures” and allows self targeting. Yes, Inspiring Leader says you can target yourself.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 28, 2016
@JeremyECrawford ofc, but if target words are "friendly creature" and IL lets you target yourself, doesn't it follow that rally can too?
— Colin Smith (@NerfPyroPlz) October 28, 2016
An exception (a spell/feat/class feature/etc.) has no bearing on the interpretation of another. The exceptional builds on the general. #DnD https://t.co/KPly0cuK9s
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 29, 2016
@NerfPyroPlzIt absolutely must when there’s no non-spellcasting target rules. RE: on 204 it says “creature” can target yourself. cont. Rally and Inspiring Leader contain the necessary information for their targeting.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 29, 2016
@NerfPyroPlzIf self contained, why create an exception to a rule 1 sentence earlier in inspiring leader? At very least, bad editing. Inspiring Leader creates an exception to the meaning of the word "companions" because that's the design intent for the feat.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 29, 2016
@NerfPyroPlzWhy? If it’s self contained, say “everyone” instead of “not you, but you”. Makes ‘companion’ look like 4e (ally = you also) The exception is made precisely because the game doesn't normally depart from the English meaning of "companions."

When do you use Passive Perception instead of rolls?
@mikemearls @Asmogorgon @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @MikeMercer Sorry – when do you use Passive Perception instead of rolls?
— Bryce Walton (@BryceWalton) October 28, 2016
A DM uses passive Perception when you might notice something but aren't actively searching. If you search, you make a check. #DnD https://t.co/9QhN7mM007

@Scottbad88so I have your blessing to play as a TREX with long arms… because that is ridiculous! If your DM wants to house rule that you can play a tyrannosaurus rex, go for it! That brave DM must deal with the consequences.

A level 1 monk, does it get two attacks (each hand or leg) and then a bonus attack from martial arts?
@Scottbad88a level 1 monk, does it get two attacks (each hand or leg) and then a bonus attack from martial arts? I'm curious, why do you think the monk would get two attacks before the bonus attack?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 7, 2016
@JeremyECrawford just like a ranger or fighter with two light single handed weapons get 2 attack per attack action
— Scott Badalamenti (@Scottbad88) November 7, 2016
The rule on two-weapon fighting requires a bonus action (see PH, 195). It doesn't add attacks to the Attack action. #DnD https://t.co/QgBke7I12T

Can a wizard use a magic wand as her arcane focus?
@cisko@JeremyECrawford Talking spellcasting today, I guess! Can a wizard use a magic wand (e.g. wand of Magic Missile) as her arcane focus? Yes.
