@goreckiydmitriy How many people already said that Trickery paladin is too overpowered to be a player class? seen a few people say that – kind of like it that way, though, given flavor #WOTCstaff

Unearthed Arcana
Any tips for how to multiclass into Mystic Psionic?
@SmokeontherazeAny tips for how to multiclass into mystic? I know it’s not balanced for that yet but any tips would be helpful. i'd allow psi points to be swapped into slots and vice versa, then stack caster/psi levels for points/slots #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 30, 2016
@Smokeontheraze Or are they’re more like sorcery points, where you have to convert them to slots ahead of time? i'd use them like sorcery points, say a bonus action to create a slot #wotcstaff

Does the UA Ranger ignore that & move normally?
@JeremyECrawford related Q–PH 191, other creatures' space is difficult terrain. Does the UA Ranger ignore that & move normally?
— Isaac Priestley (@weracketeer) December 6, 2016
If you have an ability that lets you ignore difficult terrain, you do, indeed, ignore something the rules say is difficult terrain. #DnD https://t.co/ueexDwgLPK

UA Mystic/Psionic design notes
Finished level 1-20 design on the mystic before the end of the year. Six orders, ~50 disciplines, one fighter subclass (sohei). #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
Sohei shifted over to psi because I didn't like keeping it divine once you stack it up against PHB characters. #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
References to monasticism in AD&D stuck around, extended concept to include fighting orders, martial societies, secret societies #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
Order sworn to guard a gate to the Abyss hidden under their remote monastery could be a mix of sohei and monks. #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
@mattcolvilleIs the Mystic a new *class*? yes – was in UA a couple times in the past 12 – 16 months #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
Also, some might notice that I've been using UA to update a lot of the options inspired by China and Japan – there's a story there!
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
I take the opposite of position on monks – including a non-European character type made D&D feel much more unique and interesting to me.
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
So my impulse is to double down on that, and let DMs figure out how much real world geography affects what they allow. #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 31, 2016
The arguments against the monk always sounded hollow to me, considering D&D is Not Earth. #wotcstaff

Why Tabaxi claws use Strength, but the Shifter Razorclaw uses Dexterity?
@joshcoodyIs there a reason the Tabaxi claws use Strength, but the Shifter Razorclaw uses Dexterity? Or is that not the same thing? Not a useful comparison, since the tabaxi is an official part of the game and the shifter from UA isn't.

In recent UA, why is there a push for stronger low-level abilities and weaker high-level ones?
@JeremyECrawford, in recent UA, why is there a push for stronger low-level abilities and weaker high-level ones? What's the thinking there?
— MayhemToolkit (@mayhemtoolkit) December 14, 2016
UA material tests a concept. If the concept passes, we then work to get the balance right. You're seeing the natural playtest process. #DnD https://t.co/kZC5RPV4rh

Unearthed Arcana is playtest material!
Unearthed Arcana is playtest material. If you have feedback, make sure to take the surveys. You can help shape the game. #DnD #WOTCstaff
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 12, 2016
I avoid answering queries on Unearthed Arcana material, unless a query relates to a core rule. I don't want to sway UA feedback. #WOTCstaff
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 12, 2016
@JeremyECrawford when do you release an update for the UA playtest materials that have been previously released and have had feedback about?
— HalfOrcGunslinger (@PaladinTiefling) December 12, 2016
We offer new versions of UA material if we need more public feedback on something. Release timing is driven by that need. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/JRSjI6oYqG
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 12, 2016
@jaa0109You won’t answer if something is oversight / intended in UA? It’d be helpful to know so I can give feedback on it. The fact that you aren't sure about our intent is the feedback I want.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 12, 2016
@jaa0109 Understood, but I’d like to know HOW to playtest it, and that sorta plays into it.
HYPOTHETICALLY, +mod or flat 1d4? I'll try to guide you to an answer. Why would you add your modifier to an instance of bonus damage that isn't an attack?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 12, 2016
@JeremyECrawford Gotcha. Apologies if I seemed a bit pushy.
— John Appleton (@jaa0109) December 12, 2016
@simplybroseph Lack of clarity in a rule is relevant feedback for the survey if I recall last week's answer from @JeremyECrawford correctly.
— Viktor Bengtsson (@vikke064) December 12, 2016
Telling us a rule is unclear/incomplete is one of the most important types of feedback, after telling us whether a rule is fun. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/hdNzIEBeEJ

Almost did a Kenshiro monk build for UA. Super easy design – roll 50d20 and your enemy's head explodes. #WOTCstaff
