D&D5e Q&A by Jeremy Crawford

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

The cleric's Destructive Wrath is meant to maximize thunder/lightning damage only. #DnD twitter.com/pragm4/status/…

Pragm4 @pragm4

@JeremyECrawford As written, Destructive Wrath maximizes all damage getting rolled, as long as some of it is thunder or lightning, correct?

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

No, since a sun blade counts as a longsword. #DnD twitter.com/EdKruze/status…

Edward Krusling @EdKruze

@JeremyECrawford Can a Sunblade be used as a Monk Weapon?

@sla_dreamer @GlassSpiider You can gain new tool proficiencies through training during downtime (PH, 187).

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

If you spend a spell slot during a long rest and finish the rest, you do get the slot back. #DnD twitter.com/neologiker/sta…

neologiker @neologiker

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Casting a spell during long rest breaks long rest? If not, can you cast, finish rest, regain spell slot? #DnD

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Correct. They're distinct magic items, just as a frost brand and a flame tongue are distinct but share a category. twitter.com/SwipeRightJoe/…

Joe Robinson @AGameOfJoes

@JeremyECrawford so you wouldn't get a scroll of protection that's a spell scroll? (The SA column uses SoP as a normal scroll example)

Nothing in the barbarian's Rage feature precludes the use of maneuvers. #DnD twitter.com/nahualrpg/stat…

Miguel Ángel Espinoza @xantolorpg

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford can a multiclass barbarian / battle master use maneuvers while raging?

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

The two-weapon fighting rule (PH, 195) works with melee weapons, not spells. #DnD twitter.com/imnotasnowflak…

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

@SwipeRightJoe A scroll of protection (DMG, 199) and a spell scroll (DMG, 200) are entirely different types of scrolls.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

The PH has examples of musical instrument types on p. 154. They are lute, lyre, etc., not wind, strings. etc. #DnD twitter.com/GlassSpiider/s…

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Only items worn/carried when invisibility is cast are invisible, but I'd let you conceal something under them. #DnD twitter.com/dungeonbastard…

Six Hit Points @sixhitpoints

@JeremyECrawford If an invisible creature picks up an object, does the object become invisible, or only items carried at the time of casting

@jackAbrasion @brainpower4 A surprised creature can't do anything on its 1st turn.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Scrolls are a category. Spell scrolls and scrolls of protection are examples of things in that category. #DnD twitter.com/jasonhobson/st…

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

That initial volley takes place during the first round of combat, when the ambushers' foes are surprised. #DnD twitter.com/Lord_Sicarious…

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

@brainpower4 A high initiative can reduce the time you spend surprised about combat starting, but it doesn't help you see the invisible.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Surprise happens only in the 1st round of a combat. Later, you might be unaware of someone but not surprised. #DnD twitter.com/brainpower4/st…

matt sperling @brainpower4

@JeremyECrawford Clarifying "in combat", does the creature need to be aware of an enemy for surprise to end, or just be 1st in initiative?

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

A magic weapon grants a bonus to attack/damage rolls only if the weapon's description says so. #DnD twitter.com/TheAdjunctDM/s…

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Ritual versions of spells don't have to be learned separately from the spells. #DnD twitter.com/kaosdevice/sta…

Nat Twenny @Kaosdevice

@JeremyECrawford Do wizards have to learn a ritual version of a spell apart from the normally cast version or are they the same?

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

@SpacedHamster Minor illusion makes an illusory object, not an illusory creature.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

@Dvergr76 @neologiker It's an extradimensional space that can rupture into the Astral Plane.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

The inside of a bag of holding is an extradimensional space, and the bag can be damaged from the inside. #DnD twitter.com/neologiker/sta…

neologiker @neologiker

@JeremyECrawford Bag of Holding: extradimensional space or part of Astral Plane? Can it be pierced/cut/torn from the inside?

See the Ready action (PH, 193). It lets you move or take an action in response to a trigger. #DnD twitter.com/Zaboomatthew/s…

Matthew Z @Zaboomatthew

@JeremyECrawford Can you ready your character to move over when someone approaches them? Or id dodge your only option?

@undrhil @AGNKim Being surprised has no effect on the Evasion feature.

Jeremy Crawford @JeremyECrawford

Being surprised has no effect on saves. See p. 189 of the Player's Handbook for the effects of surprise. #DnD twitter.com/AGNKim/status/…
