Are warlock invocation prerequisites by class level or character level?
@GunnerMcGrathAre warlock invocation prerequisites by class level or character level? Book doesn’t specify. Thanks! The intent is that a level prerequisite in a warlock invocation refers to warlock level.

Can you take a reaction on your own turn in 5th edition D&D?
"Can you take a reaction on your own turn in 5th edition D&D?" Yes, if the reaction's trigger occurs on your turn and your reaction is available. #DnD

Rune Knight: does Giants Might’s growth effect follow the same formula as Enlarge/Reduce?
@JeremyECrawford This is a question regarding the Giants Might feature of the Rune Knight. Does it's growth effect follow the same formula as Enlarge/reduce? Double height and ×8 weight per size increased?

The Giant's Might feature in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything intentionally applies only the changes specified in the feature. That means it magically makes you Large without changing weight. #DnD https://t.co/7x6c3LjzE5

Can you dual wield hand crossbows or not in 5e?
@JeremyECrawford Hi Jeremy, can you dual wield hand crossbows or not in 5e? All the rules seem to make this an invalid option, but people are still doing mental gymnastics to argue you can and I haven't seen anything from you guys ruling one way or the other 😁

In D&D, you can dual wield any two weapons with the Extra Attack feature. The two-weapon-fighting bonus action in the combat rules is a way to eke out one more attack if you follow its limitations. The no-fuss way to wield two different weapons of any type is Extra Attack. #DnD https://t.co/4uSGo0WT0l

Even though the Extra Attack feature in D&D doesn’t impose any limitations on which weapons can be used with it, some weapons have properties that create limits. See the two-handed property for an example of such a property. D&D rules build on each other. The Extra Attack feature, for instance, leaves the door open for any two weapons to be used together, but then a particular weapon property says, "Wait just a minute!" You don't need to worry about such exceptions until you're using them. #DnD

I am honestly more confused now than I was before. It contradicts the rules as currently written to allow it. What's the confusion? Extra Attack imposes no limitations on what weapons you use with it.

This is my biggest complaint with Twitter is that some people may not notice this follow up. Regarding the original question, the Ammunition property would make wielding 2 hand crossbows ineffective even with Extra Attack correct? (Barring something special like repeating shot)

You need a free hand to load a D&D weapon with the ammunition property. If you have the Extra Attack feature, you can fire two such weapons on the same turn, provided both are loaded. You can load such a weapon as part of an attack with it or as a regular object interaction. #DnD https://t.co/yCh4HHoEuz
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 5, 2020
So the answer is no, you cannot dual wield hand crossbows then since one hand needs to be available to load it as part of the attack. You can wield one and fire the same one twice using the extra attack feature as long as your other hand is free to load it. That's partially correct. If you have two hand crossbows that are already loaded—thanks to using the object interaction rules—you could fire them both on the same turn using Extra Attack. But that's an edge case.

Multi attack readies an attack, do they get all attacks on the trigger?
@KoontzA player with multi attack readies an attack, do they get all attacks on the trigger or just one If you mean the Extra Attack feature, the extra attacks happen only on your turn.

Does Agonizing Blast add damage per Eldritch Blast casting, or per beam?
@DackeStaffanDoes Agonizing Blast add damage per Eldritch Blast casting, or per beam? E.g. 5th level lock deals 2d10+2*Cha, or 2d10+Cha? I would rule that you add your Charisma modifier whenever a beam hits. But I have my eye on this feature.

@Dr_SijbenIs knocking a target prone intended to give disadvantage on melee reach attacks (10ft) made against it? You do, indeed, have disadvantage on an attack roll against a prone target who isn't within 5 feet of you.
