@rpbabqSay dark (magical or natural) 20′ away. Elf rogue moves to shadows, bonus to hide, std action to range sneak attack each rd. OK? by rules, that works. keep in mind that foes will actively search for rogue. if he stays put, likely found. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 16, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD @matthewmercer DM'd a impromptu session for a group of friends today. I have you two to thank for my DM improve skills — Zhang (@ZhangSonOfGoral) June 17, 2015 Welcome to the League of Extraordinary DMs!

@Bloody_BarghestDo the CR’s of creatures like wights and wraiths take their resurrected minions into account? Or should they start fights solo? start fights solo – if you throw in extra monsters, award XP for them — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 16, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD A friend of mine has trouble with Druids' no-metal rule. Are metal weapons exempt, or do they need, like, wooden scimitars? — Miracle Alex (@NonagonNonsense) June 12, 2015 See the PLAYER'S HANDBOOK. The no-metal rule applies to armor and shields, and druids are proficient with scimitars. https://t.co/3XbIMKbMtS — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) June 12, 2015 […]
Addressing a nuance in the PH errata: the rule lets melee weapon attacks use unarmed strikes, despite those strikes not being weapons. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 10, 2015 @corymacdonald It's in the errata document: "Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use an unarmed strike …" — Jeremy […]
@jeffvmaharIs it true that a Beastmaster’s animal companion will just sit there being attacked unless I use my action to command it? nope – dm's call, but it's still a creature, not a robot. would protect itself IMO — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 14, 2015 @jeffvmaharOk great. Now if I use my action to give […]
@seekay“If you’re making an attack roll, you’re making an attack.” Is the inverse also true? Eg does MM trigger Hex? The inverse isn't true. Some special attacks, like grappling (PH, 195), don't include an attack roll. @mikemearls — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 13, 2015 @seekayThanks! A spell without a roll like Magic Missile or Burning […]
@JeremyECrawfordThe intent is resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning damage, regardless of source (MM errata preview). I guess this means that lycanthropes will be immune to falling damage after all, eh? 😉 — Jonathan Longstaff (@pukunui81) June 11, 2015 @pukunui81 Lycanthropes and several other monsters are exceptions. For now, read "nonmagical weapons" as "nonmagical weapon attacks." — […]
