Range spell in melee

@JeremyECrawford Does a Wizard receive any penalty if he attacks an enemy in melee range with a ranged spell w/o spell attack descriptor? — Rey Ooze (@Ooze) June 13, 2015 A spell that involves a save, rather than an attack roll, is unaffected by the caster being in melee. https://t.co/IpYL8YkJjD — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June […]

Critical poison damage

@JeremyECrawford Congrats on 1k Tweets! Does the poison damage on snakes also get doubled on a crit since it's built into the attack, or no? — Viktor Lindvall (@Boxvoko) June 24, 2015 Any damage dice delivered by a critical hit—as opposed to a saving throw—are rolled twice. https://t.co/EVUWyU0dnl — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 29, 2015
