@JeremyECrawford PC failed save after bitten by lycanthrope, would they know they were cursed? as DM, would you roll the save secretly? #DnD

As DM, you decide how much a character knows. Knowing that you're cursed can spawn a quest. Not knowing is a nice recipe for horror. #DnD https://t.co/CDzwbCbgFI

If I cast Charm Person on a target and you cast the same spell on the same target what happens? Combining Magical Effects? The rule in "Combining Magical Effects" applies.

@JeremyECrawford Mr. Crawford. All the Hags from MM and Volo's Guide are fey except Night Hag, which is fiend. Why this hag is different?
— André Higuti (@artsbyjapao) June 2, 2017
Night hags were once creatures of the Feywild that degenerated into fiends, as stated in their description in the Monster Manual. #DnD https://t.co/VjPlhvluFQ

@JeremyECrawford Hi, I had a disagreement about Legendary Resistances. Are Legendary Resistances considered separate from Legendary Actions?
— Wyatt Lyter (@WkLyter) May 30, 2017
Legendary actions are under the "Legendary Actions" heading in a stat block. The Legendary Resistance trait doesn't appear under it. #DnD https://t.co/mcS2HKmD2v

@JeremyECrawford Magic Aura spell states that it works against Divination spells. Example (Symbol) is Abjuration. Can you explain?

In all D&D rules, the specific/exceptional overrides the general. If one contradicts the other, the specific/exceptional always wins. #DnD https://t.co/xjFjbzQx9B

#DnD @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD If grappling is opposed STR/DEX check why some monsters have escape DC? ie. Tree Blight #CoS

The introduction to the Monster Manual explains how to read a stat block, including how monsters grapple (see p. 11). #DnD https://t.co/CGYl0WwByG

@mjsoctoberBeen playing #DnD for 30 yrs. Know how to read a stat block, thanks. I’m asking why monsters in 5e grapple differently from PCs. Why not 1/2 That's a different question, indeed. Before I proceed, have you read "Grapple Rules for Monsters" (MM, 11)?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 23, 2017
@mjsoctober Yes read it & see from your other reply it is basically to speed up play. Good to know. I will use opposed checks when I DM. TY for reply. Controlling the DC is just as important to the design.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 23, 2017
@JeremyECrawford In other words, what was the design reason? To make it easier? Opposed rolls would be more dramatic.
— The October Geek (@mjsoctober) May 23, 2017
Monsters typically use escape DCs for their exceptional grappling abilities so that we can control the DCs and speed up play. #DnD https://t.co/xEoO9rFKHl
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 23, 2017
@armando_doval @mjsoctober To be super clear: monsters don’t grapple differently from PCs. They can still grapple “normally” by taking the Attack action. That's correct, Armando.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 23, 2017
@mjsoctober @SlyFlourish @JamesIntrocasoBeen having debate with @JeremyECrawford re Escape DCs for monsters that grapple. Interested in your take. 1/2 To be clear, I'm not debating with you. I briefly explained the design. I encourage you to tinker with the rules however you like.

@JeremyECrawford if a character gets true polymorphed into a dragon can that dragon shape change into a character of any class?
— Sammy Baert (@SammyBaert) May 27, 2017
No matter what a dragon turns into with Change Shape, the dragon doesn't get that form's class features, as stated in the trait's text. #DnD https://t.co/la2C8KW2hI

@JeremyECrawford do flying creatures affected by Earthbind (Elemental Evil) take falling damage if they reach the ground during the spell?
— Armando Doval (@armando_doval) June 6, 2017
The earthbind spell doesn't cause the target to fall. Probably too subtle: that's why the spell uses "descends" instead of "falls." #DnD https://t.co/4ZhSiAM0kd
