Quick #5e question for Bards. When leveling up can you switch out more than one spell (as per pg53 of the PHB) or is it as written one spell? Potentially stupid question as I’m guessing it’s just the one per level up… One spell.

If an undead is concentrating on a spell and a Cleric uses Turn Undead does that undead make a concentration check?
@JeremyECrawford Question! If an undead monster, is concentrating on a spell, and a Cleric uses Turn Undead on that monster…. does that monster make a concentration check? Does it automatically break? Or does it continue concentrating as normal?
— Bryant Smith (@BrontSmoth) February 10, 2018
I thought Turn Undead essentially operates as a fear spell. Wouldn’t the Undead being forced to leave break his concentration? The tweet you're responding to contains the answer to your question.

Can you use a longbow in melee to get Great Weaon Master and Sharpshooter in a single attack for +20 damage?

If you use a weapon in a way that turns it into an improvised weapon—such as smacking someone with a bow—that weapon has none of its regular properties, unless the DM rules otherwise. #DnD https://t.co/1gOFFT764D

Can a player charm monsters into marrying them and then hoard their corpses for a massive AC superstack?
@JeremyECrawford The way Ceremony is written in Xan's says Wedding can only be applied again if the partner dies, but not that the buff ends if the partner dies. Can a player charm monsters into marrying them and then hoard their corpses for a massive AC superstack?

Like some other spells, the ceremony spell refers to willing targets. Compulsion can't make you willing. No means no. #DnD https://t.co/GOGjb48XGL
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 26, 2018
Does the same hold true for spells like Lesser Restoration, healing spells, or other cleric spells that do not mandate "willing target"?
— DropTheDie (@DropTheDie) January 26, 2018
A spell specifies whether a target must be willing. If it doesn't specify that, the target doesn't need to be willing. #DnD https://t.co/LHjDrRmixz

If a druid is being tracked by scent using a Ranger’s animal companion and beast shapes into an animal…
@JeremyECrawford If a druid is being tracked by scent using a Ranger's animal companion and beast shapes into an animal, would the scent of the druid change to that of the beast and throw off the trackers? Corner case from this weekend's game
— Jim Seevers (@VerseoftheSea) February 1, 2018
If you turn into a beast, your smell is likely to change, especially if your fur gets wet, things get tangled in it, etc. A bit of your smell would likely remain, which would be confusing for a tracker; a DM could impose disadvantage on them. #DnD https://t.co/MgA3vm3rjl

Spiritual Weapon: does it mean it’s incorporeal and can cross walls and objects?
@JeremyECrawford Spiritual Weapon: it being spectral does it mean it's incorporeal and can cross walls and objects?
— Marc Sharma (@LeMarcSharma) January 29, 2018
Having a spectral appearance in D&D has no special rules associated with it. If something can pass through walls, for example, the description of that thing says it can pass through walls. #DnD https://t.co/ATHcc7aeQZ

I find it confusing about the default. Does it follow the same rules as fire bolts and fireballs in that it can't get past total cover, but otherwise not interacting with anything? Can it block e.g. a doorway, or can creatures freely move through the space of the weapon?
— Viktor Bengtsson (@vikke064) January 29, 2018
A spiritual weapon doesn't pass through walls. It also doesn't occupy its space; it's not a creature, and it's not described as being large enough to fill its space. #DnD https://t.co/MBZWPSnsPu

Does Orchish fury and Savage attack damage apply to features like Sneak attack or Divine smite?
@JeremyECrawford orchish fury and savage attack say that " you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time". does this "weapon damage" apply to features like sneak attack or divine smite? could i chose the damage die that they add?
— cameron hall (@cameronhallbos1) February 2, 2018
When a rule refers to a weapon's damage die, it's referring to the damage die of the weapon, not the damage die of some other feature. #DnD https://t.co/8uu0oOOwkJ

What is the definition of humanoids, can they have more then 2 legs and 2 arms?
@JeremyECrawford what is the definition of humanoids as far as the monster manual is concerned. Can they have more then 2 legs and 2 arms?
— Jorogumo (@Jorogumo89) February 8, 2018
Want to know what a humanoid is in D&D? The introduction of the Monster Manual provides the game's definition (p. 7). No big surprises there: bipedal, reminiscent of humans, etc. That book is also filled with examples of that creature type: goblinoids, drow, and more. #DnD https://t.co/1Q7Bna6xnC
