Is the Grung Poison variant meant to apply only to the grung’s Poisonous Skin or also to the poison on its dagger? Grung daggers don't cause the poisoned condition. The variant doesn't come into play there.

Some 2019 colors on 2018 lines, a convention sketch, some D&D concept work and some drawings for fun. Thanks for checking it all out and all the awesome support this year! #Artof2019 pic.twitter.com/fB2mKyMT5w

I ask on TikTok and I will go ahead and ask here. What is your preferred stat generation in D&D? Standard array (which is just quick point buy).
If the group wants to roll I prefer the Bingo method (generate a 6×6 grid of scores, take any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal set).
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) April 17, 2020
whoa whoa whoa I’ve never heard of this Bingo method As far as I know my old long-time DM made it up. 😛 At least in our circles, I'm sure people have done something similar if not identical elsewhere
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) April 17, 2020
I actually used Bingo to create the Soulknife rogue I’m playtesting in an office game. I'm not sure I totally understand the Bingo method yet but it sounds very cool. 👻🗡️

It amounts to protection against being screwed by a garbage roll And at this point in D&D, if you're using feats the system works MUCH better with point buy/array, I figure if you're going to roll, may as well drink from the fire hose.

I'm less worried about min-maxing, and more happy that:
1. You can pretty much guarantee a functional character regardless of class(es) or concept, within reason.
2. It plays well with the trade off of sacrificing Ability Score Improvement for feats.
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) April 17, 2020
Definitely prefer taking a feat over attribute increases. The only exception I make there is for a schtick. For instance, if I am playing a character whose defining trait is they are the strongest, then I might take the attribute boost for Strength, but otherwise, I prefer feats. I get that. The problem is the system starts to break if you roll well and start near-maxed, and then dump the rest of your ASI's into feats. It's less of a trade off then, and pure power boost.
Not a huge deal, but it is a thing.

You could go that way, but I've done it with individual sets previously
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) April 17, 2020
When you do the bingo method, do you do place the 6 scores anywhere, or you place them in order? I usually see the scores must be used in order, but can use them forwards or backwards. Personally I generate them top to bottom, and then left to right as I create sets of 6.

do all spells have a target? Casting unseen servant or mage hand, it is still subject to the “A Clear Path to the Target” rule and can’t be cast behind a wall within range? In the case of those spells the target is the location at which the conjured thing appears. You do need a clear path to that location.
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) April 24, 2020
What would you say to someone who feels that conjuring something in a space is akin to “teleporting” the conjuration there?
I see these interactions frequently in cases such as Wall of Force, or escaping a cage at low levels. Jeremy has answered my very question on this way back when, that the creatures being teleported are the target of a teleportation, not the destination.It's not the same as conjuring something into that spot over there. Teleports are deliberately different.

No problem! Happy I could pass the assistance along, needed it myself.

I hereby submit that rolling two natural 20s at disadvantage be called a SUPERNATURAL 20 I want this canonized by morning

Working on it 😂
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) May 12, 2020
Similarly rolling double 1's on an advantage roll must be referred to as SADvantage.

Hey DnD fam, do Gnolls have tails?
If even small ones?#DnD 5e Monster Manual gnolls don't have tails.— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) March 3, 2020
Question about the Inspired. On p. 196 of the new book it says that anyone could become a vessel for the Inspired. Once that process occurs, is it permanent? Or can the quori come and go as they please? Any humanoid that can dream can voluntarily allow a quori to possess them. Once this is done the quori is in control until it leaves or is driven out. If it leaves, it cannot return unless the host voluntarily allows it again. HOWEVER…
— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) December 2, 2019
… the Inspired lords of Sarlona are bred to be quori vessels. These are called “The Chosen.” Each Chosen is tied to a particular quori. That quori can possess any of its Chosen freely at any time; they cannot resist this possession.

do you have a favorite dragon in the realms? I’m forever biased for Mist. She was just so sassy! Yes, but I'm keeping her name secret—unless you guess it. She’s a female human character, NOT a novel headliner, who is really a gold dragon (but almost no one knows it, so there’s ALMOST no hint of her true nature in print).#Realmslore
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
Why are they your favorite? She's been part of so many moments near and dear to me, as a human, and blended so well into human life that she's fooled most everyone for so long, and been a good person. (I see a lot more of the Realms than makes it into print.)#Realmslore
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
Can I ask if you created her or someone else? I did. Which narrows it down to, ah, most of the dragons in the Realms. ;}
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
I know! She was in my first Realms novel I read and I love her and loved her mention in Cormyr novel… but! Was I right in naming Vala? Well that excludes Mist, no? It does. Jeff and Kate came up with Mist.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
Nope. ;}
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
So.. this is a random and a desperate attempt … Srinshee? No, the Srinshee's the Srinshee. ;}
I don't know if 'my' wyrm is on the FR wiki (like any wiki, its contents can change over time), but she is obscure in published FR lore.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 14, 2020
