@jadraxdarkfire @JeremyECrawfordIf I cast Barkskin and use a Shield, is my AC 16 or 18? I'd say 18 — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 17, 2014

@dr_kevinsmith @mikemearlsQuick question, is a Paladin’s divine smite affected by a crit, or is only the weapon damage rolled x2. Cheers I would let a crit affect Divine Smite. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 16, 2014

. @Kez_DarksunIs Padded armor really meant to give disadvantage to stealth rolls? yes – padded and ring are bad, cheap armors meant for militia, poorly equipped warriors, not really aimed at PCs. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014

Stealth/Hiding: These rules intentionally rely on DM judgment to adjudicate. DM has to judge situations, whether PC can hide. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014

@rdonoghue Is the downside of primal pathr age (exhaustion level 1) really intended to be *that* nasty? Yes – meant to be a finisher, since ability can tilt a battle way into the party's favor — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014

@ameron_dmhiding has been causing us a lot of grief & arguments. If I’m hidden & have to peek out or step out to shoot do I retain adv? DM judgment – would peeking reveal you or not? Probably not, unless target is looking right where you are — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014

@mschdesignhow does a bard benefit from an instrument’s proficiency bonus if he’s already proficient with the Performance skill? impressing a crowd = performance. playing a difficult piece = instrument. it is blurry, but the instrumnt covers technical skill — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014

Destructive smite spell in paladin listing should refer to destructive wave in spell descriptions — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 16, 2014
