Xanathar Guide Everything
The tables in XGE for “Awarding Magic Items”, are they based on a party of 4?
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford #dnd The tables in XGE for "Awarding Magic Items", are they based on a party of 4? What if I have a party of 7? Is their a multiplier I should be using? Thanks 🙂

D&D's rules on magic item distribution aren't based on a party of a particular size. The rules are party-based—the group is receiving items—rather than character-based. #DnD https://t.co/Mc92q8uafv

RAW Spare the Dying as a bonus action cannot use their action to cast a spell. Would RAI allow this?
Per RAW a Grave Domain cleric casing Spare the Dying as a bonus action cannot use their action to cast a spell. Would RAI allow this? It doesn't break anything to allow it. I think the original rule was being way too fiddly in trying to control things.

Wow, incredibly proud of this. To see both our peers in tabletop RPG design and tabletop gamers pick it is wonderful. I remember reading about the Origins Awards back in the day, never dreamed I'd be part of a team that won them! Much thanks to the Academy for honoring us! https://t.co/Om4OreodFj

Can I cast Wall of Water spell and deal a bunch of damage to fire elementals using the volume of water against them?
@JeremyECrawford Can you l, using the wall of water spell, make a column of water, by making a tall wall of water packed tightly, and deal a bunch of damage to fire elementals using the volume of water against them? Or is that simply a dm discretion thing?
— Mike McDonell (@Stickman404) February 27, 2018
The wall of water spell doesn't deal any damage. If you want to deal damage with it, your DM decides if that use is possible. It's always in the DM's purview if you want to do something with a spell that isn't in the spell's description. #DnD https://t.co/ZrJRfVamCK

This shenaniganry comes from the Water Vulnerability trait. People love to say things like the shape water cantrip instakills a fire elemental because of how many gallons of water are in a 5' cube.
Sometimes I hate the internet. 😛
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) February 27, 2018
The Water Susceptibility trait of a fire elemental makes water dangerous to the elemental. The trait doesn't change how spells work, however; if a spell creates water in a certain number of 5' cubes, you can't compress cubes into each other to produce extra gallons of water. #DnD https://t.co/OsPmKRdPE4
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 27, 2018
Yep, but a 5-foot cube of water is 125 cubic feet. 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons, x125 = 935 gallons in a 5 ft. cube, which people equate to "splashing" 935 gallons of water on the elemental for 935 cold damage.
(fixed brainfart math error)

The shape water cantrip doesn’t produce water. It moves water up to 5 feet. Want to use it against a fire elemental? The smart elemental is nowhere near the body of water. #DnD https://t.co/tMeB8TSWfx

Do you know if the newest 5e book (Xanathar’s Guide to Everything) is Adventurer’s League legal?

All products are assumed legal, but you must choose one + PHB to make an AL character
