@kam2112question, does the bard “jack of all trades” affect initiative? yes, if it applies to checks (no book with me)

So my PCs want to use the swords their hobgoblin foes used but the attack bonus is +3, do I scale that back for PCs?
@fatherbarndonso my PCs want to use the swords their hobgoblin foes used but the attack bonus is +3. Do I scale that back for PCs? not sure I understand question – long swords don't come with an attack bonus
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 14, 2015
@fatherbarndonthen I misunderstood the monster manual. The +4 is hobgoblin related, not the longsword has a +4 to attack. I understand now. XD yeah, it can definitely be confusing

@mikemearls thank you for the help though. Still learning the ropes of Dming but loving it so far!

Right now I'm working on the next seven years of D&D stories.

If i take the Attack Action and this give a bonus attack, this bonus is a separate action?
@IsnarteDiasIf i take the Attack Action and this give a bonus attack, this bonus is a separate action or is part of my attack action? A bonus action is always its own thing, not a part of another action.

Do you feel like using average damage in combat is worth losing the tension of damage rolls?
“@mAcChaos: Do you feel like using average damage in combat is worth losing the tension of damage rolls?”
If I want tension, I roll dice.

True!

Spirit Guardian
@calebrus44A PC can dash & move SpiritGuardian’s 15′ radius 60′ hitting dozens of enemies with 3+d8 each rd, kiting? House rule time. Keep in mind that the spell forces a creature to save only once per turn, and the cleric has to maintain concentration.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Still potentially over 100 targets per turn, and requires a houserule of "enter" being voluntary in my mind.
— calebrus44 (@calebrus44) March 12, 2015
@calebrus44 The potential is high, but in play, we haven't seen that potential reached, with opportunity attacks and terrain in the mix.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2015
@calebrus44Once again, even if we disagree, thanks for taking the time to answer. 🙂 I'm happy to answer! And we disagreed? I explained how the spell works (RAW) and agreed about its potential power.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2015
@calebrus44 The distinction I often make is between the potential and the actual abuse of a rule. I'm far more concerned about actual abuse.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2015
@calebrus44And I tend err on the side of caution and view the potential abuse just as harshly. That's definitely your prerogative as a DM, especially because you know the likelihood of your players to abuse something.
