“@joleary97: what do you draw inspiration from when planning adventures/campaigns?” History is a huge inspiration. WWII, Ancient Rome, etc.

@calebrus44 @JeremyECrawford @mikemearlsIs poison applied to a weapon intended to last for the full minute, or until the weapon strikes? Lasts for the full minute.

@JeremyECrawford @wotc_rodney @mikemearls @zolt4r I’m not ready to give the official answer, since this is part of my potential-errata analysis. Fair enough.

Sage Advice: You can check Poison basic rule in Player’s Handbook p.153 that only describes: “…the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying.” In Dungeon Master’s Guide p.257 some poisons could be very lethal if last for 1 minute (10 rounds).

My advice is that applied poison last until the weapon strikes or 1 minute is passed.

@JRobsonSF @JeremyECrawford @mikemearlsDo invocations like “Mask of Many Faces” or “Myriad Forms” require vocal and somatic components? If a feature allows you to cast a spell, it still requires all components unless otherwise specified

“@dakota_ferrel: hey Chris. Any tips for a first time DM?” Have fun. Don't let 'em see you sweat.

@JRobsonSF @JeremyECrawford @mikemearlsWhat would happen to a warlocks rituals if she replaced the Tome of Ancient Secrets invocation? I'd rule they'd be unusable. It is Book of Ancient Secrets that grants the ability to cast rituals.

@o_scheeckHi. Quick question: do you guys feel Beast Master Ranger is fine/balanced as is, compared to other classes? It’s hard to compare a subclass to others without knowing the context: social interaction, exploration, or combat.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 21, 2015

Sage Advice: Master Jeremy is right, it depends on context and your DM campaign.
If your adventure is in a multi level mega dungeon could be an hard task for Rangers, Druids and, if dungeon is very narrow, casters that can’t use their area effects/long distance spells.
But the problem could be similar in a city, where is more important to be sneaky or charismatic : area effect caster or Barbarians could be very cumbersome.

So my advice is to talk with your DM before campaign start and decide together wich classes could be better for all of you.

@JRobsonSFHow does the Awakened Mind works on the target’s mind? Is it a voice? Can it be changed? Can I play with target’s sanity? It's communication of information–nothing more. The DM might rule otherwise, of course, but nothing in the text implies a voice.
