@BulletpointeQuestion: Does a ‘permanent’ True Polymorph still end if the target hits 0 hp? nope, needs some sort of magical intercession to end it.

Dueling fighting style: yay or neigh to unarmed strikes and the monks martial arts?
@eerongaldueling fighting style: yay or neigh to unarmed strikes and the monks martial arts? the book response is no. Doesn't break anything if you allow it, though.

Ready a spell, should there be a concentration check for all spells?
@luminapinaMage slayer/ready action hits while casting a spell. Should there be a concentration check for all spells, excl. maybe cantrips? readied action takes place after trigger, so first spell then attack. No check needed.

@luminapinaOkay, thank you. So Counterspell is the only way to interrupt the casting of spells with one action or shorter casting times? Correct, at least with what's available in the PHB.

Can a warlock summon a Dao’s maul or a Storm Giant’s greatsword as their pact weapon?
@rwallace8665 Help me settle a disagreement: can a human warlock summon a Dao’s maul or a Storm Giant’s greatsword as their pact weapon? i'd say no, or at the very least the warlock couldn't effectively wield it.

@rwallace8665Can you settle an argument for me? Can a human warlock use a Dao’s maul or Storm Giant’s Greatsword as a pact weapon? I would say that they could use a maul or a greatsword, but there's no "storm giant greatsword" to choose from in the game.

@rwallace8665 The feature specifically points you toward Chapter 5, indicating that the warlock chooses from the weapons normally available.

@rwallace8665 Additionally, those are both intended for larger creatures (& are unwieldy for a normal PC) & have no stats of their own.

Could a “High” Elf with a criminal background use “mage hand” with their tools and skills?
@UMPIBikerMaMaCould a “High” Elf fighter with a criminal background use “mage hand” with their tools and skills? #dnd #dnd5e I'd allow it – I'd probably have it take a little longer to complete an action, maybe two actions for things that take 1
