@JeremyECrawford? after podcast: Should I let passive perception notice everything if high enough, or have active required for some things? Or in other words, is it in poor form to have a check that you can't use passive perception for/to specifically require an active check?

— SymphFan (@SymphFan) April 28, 2017

@JeremyECrawford Wasn't sure if "You can't roll so bad you unsee passive results" should interpret as "You effectively can't roll below 10 on active checks".

— SymphFan (@SymphFan) April 28, 2017

The DM decides whether to use passive Perception. If you do use it, a check is unnecessary if a passive score already noticed something #DnD https://t.co/ei6sqTPYEq

@JeremyECrawford When you say "use" do you mean use the mechanic at all? Or that some things can "hide" from passive, but not active, perception?

— Alex Harris (@Alex_Harris) April 28, 2017

Passive checks are a tool for the DM. The DM decides whether the rule is used at all. #DnD https://t.co/3KE6WIUzmH

@JeremyECrawford Hello Mr Crawford Q. If a natural creature has access to acid damage can it destroy object's with said Acid?

— Steven Connor (@Mazoshi1987) May 9, 2017

A monster's actions tell you what they can target: creatures, objects, or both. #DnD https://t.co/1Se3weB5mp

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 9, 2017

@Mazoshi1987So a Steeder can use it’s bite to attack a target fully armoured from head to toe in plate but it cannot target an object like a table. Why? That action is designed to be used on creatures. Anything beyond that is up to the DM.

@JeremyECrawford So going off what you have said a Giant spider cannot web up a corridor with it's web action. Then how do webs get in corridor's?

— Steven Connor (@Mazoshi1987) May 9, 2017

The webs of giant spiders are a typical dungeon hazard. See "Webs" (DMG, 105). #DnD https://t.co/uHdL4kieko

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 9, 2017

@DeanMSimmonsWhat a spider can do in a single action versus what they can do in an hour seems like a fair distinction. That is exactly the intent.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 9, 2017

@JeremyECrawford If your Passive Perception is your effect minimum Perception, would this apply to other skills? Passive Stealth? Athletics?

— Mat Reece (@world_of_reece) May 27, 2017

If a DM decides (a) to use a passive check and (b) it's always active, it can function as a skill check minimum. Entirely up to the DM. #DnD https://t.co/wsMFtwV7yF

What page is the Rule on Bonus Action Spells? I have been getting this WRONG!

The rule on bonus action spells is in chapter 10, “Spellcasting,” of the Player’s Handbook—the home of all the main spellcasting rules. #DnD https://t.co/qBQwCkiQ9W

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 10, 2017

Ok…so I am in page 202. “You cannot cast another spell during the same turn”….I think I am missing something…

@schwarm Yes, that’s the rule when you cast a bonus action spell.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 10, 2017

@schwarm“…only cast one spell and one cantrip in a turn.”…you are saying with Bonus Action Spell there is still ONLY one spell, but 2 cantrips? We were talking about Action Surge, which gives you an action. The bonus action spell rule is only relevant if you cast a bonus action spell

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 11, 2017

@schwarmI think I am getting closer…Action Surge is still part of your turn? See “Action Surge” (PH, 72).

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 11, 2017

Can you ignore a trigger and wait for the trigger to occur again? mob around corner. RA i attack when i see enemy. Can i attack 2nd enemy?

— Jan Verbruggen (@NowredEQ) May 8, 2017

The Ready action preps a reaction that can occur right after its trigger. If an attack is your trigger, the reaction happens after it. #DnD https://t.co/gmL2qznSVB

@JeremyECrawford Hey friend, can you save against multiple negative effects on your turn? Or do you have to choose one to save against?

— Glenn Huston (@GlennHuston) May 6, 2017

If multiple effects say you make a save at the end of your turn, you make multiple saves at the end of your turn. #DnD https://t.co/divnsb6j3E

@JeremyECrawford Paladin draws power from an oath, and can cast spells using a holy symbol, would the symbol represent the oath or a deity?

— Karl (@KarlFromTheNet) May 6, 2017

A holy symbol (PH, 151) typically represents a god or pantheon. Talk with your DM if you'd like it to represent something else sacred. #DnD https://t.co/xj6Oj22vuW

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 6, 2017

@JeremyECrawford Aren't there rules in the Dungeon Masters Guide for playing a Paladin or Cleric that draws their powers from philosophical beliefs?

— Jack C. Fejer (@JackFejer) May 6, 2017

The Dungeon Master's Guide has a section called "Other Religious Systems" (p. 13) that's about alternative belief systems. #DnD https://t.co/G4h840t8DG

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 6, 2017

@JeremyECrawford Faith in gods isn't necessary to be a Paladin. Also have the option of taking Oath of the Ancients, which transcends any 1 belief system. pic.twitter.com/BoPnv2Z7Sq

— D&D Knight (@KnightDnD) May 6, 2017

@KnightDnD Yes, the PH and the DMG are unified in that message.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 6, 2017

@KnightDnD It’s one reason I like the Paladin class: Divine spells fueled by faith in Justice, itself, rather than depending on a distant deity. That option is available to clerics as well, as noted in the DMG.
