@JeremyECrawford a rangers pet can level up. But can a caster's familiar?
— BarryV.A. (@BarryVonAwesome) June 12, 2017
The find familiar spell doesn't cause your familiar to get more powerful over time. If the spell did, it would say so. #DnD https://t.co/6tNSVESDdD

@JeremyECrawford Does performing a grapple count as taking the Attack action?
— John Cook (@metalknuckle) June 15, 2017
There are many ways to grapple (see the roper for an example). One of them is part of the Attack action (see "Grappling," PH, 195). #DnD https://t.co/bMQYEBRGbR

@JeremyECrawford The shield spell requires you to be hit to use it. If you you do would it trigger the Rangers multiattack defence? #dnd
— Ty Harris (@Tyhar7) June 13, 2017
The shield spell can turn a hit into a miss. If it succeeds at doing so, you weren't hit. #DnD https://t.co/7zlTCq66CY

@JeremyECrawford A spellcaster affected by invisibility casts a non-concentration spell; can he be counterspelled?
— Armando Doval (@armando_doval) June 8, 2017
Counterspell requires you to see the spellcaster you're countering. See its Casting Time entry. #DnD https://t.co/XG9EkkNNEU

@JeremyECrawford Do you get a reaction if you haven't taken a turn in combat yet? Example A – does get a round of surprise. B – No surprise
— Ben Kirk (@benjdkirk) June 12, 2017
You can take a reaction before your first turn in combat, but not if you're surprised (see PH, 189). #DnD https://t.co/nEouvakRW9

@JeremyECrawford Will WotC ever sell a printed version of the D&D 5e Basic Rules?
— virtue1st (@virtue1st) June 14, 2017
Everything in the Basic Rules is included in three books we sell: the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master's Guide. #DnD https://t.co/EvDxMZrMew

Are paladin auras visible? Would commoners see my aura as I walk down the street? I'd say no, but I don't know if we have a canonical answer
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 20, 2017
An aura is, by rule, only visible if the aura's description describes it as such. #DnD https://t.co/iS0l9Y8CaY

@ChrisPerkinsDnD@JeremyECrawford @aquelajames
I keep forgetting to ask. In a game I run we continue to have confusion about initiative, can a rogues expertise increase it? Also, does expertise effect passive checks as well? Because if it does, I have a rouge/monk that will go first forever and always notice everything. I can’t tell if he’s a good builder or if he did something shady. Input from someone who literally wrote the book would be helpful.

The rogue's Expertise works with skills and thieves' tools. Initiative is neither a skill nor thieves' tools. #DnD https://t.co/eA0j8EOIHP
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 20, 2017
and yet, Initiative is a skill check, yes?
— AcceptablyPsycho (@AccPsycho) June 20, 2017
Warlock casts Hex on target before combat, disadvantage on initiative then right?
— Za'nes of AA (@AA_Zanes) June 20, 2017
Initiative is an ability check, right? That's why the bard thing works on it?
— weird steak (@grendeldave) June 20, 2017
Initiative is a Dexterity check. No skill is used with it. #DnD https://t.co/JgqbDzVOZw
