@JeremyECrawford If a Barbarian/Druid character uses Wild Shape while raging, does their rage damage bonus apply to their attacks? What about with animals like a Poisonous Snake where the animal's attack bonus appears to be Dexterity-based?

The barbarian's Rage feature doesn't require you to be in a certain form for it to work.

And the bonus it grants to damage rolls does requires the melee weapon attack to use Strength. #DnD https://t.co/iwTnESOgN6

That being said, don't things like Polymorph specify that you lose class features?

Class feature X doesn't require you to be in a certain form to use it.

Spell Y changes your form and prevents you from using class features.

You therefore don't get to use class feature X while you're under the effects of spell Y.

D&D is a game of exceptions; an attack can be special and not fall into either category: weapon or spell.

The rules tell you if an exception is happening. For example, the grapple described on p. 195 of the PH is called a special melee attack, not a weapon/spell attack. #DnD

Hah! Does this mean you aren't answeing rules questions? This sounds like the final word of clarification for a game!

Many D&D players like to understand the intent behind the rules. And many groups like to dive into the details of the rules and abide by them. My rules answers support all of that. #DnD https://t.co/VbEgtjvRUd

@JeremyECrawford Do Drow PCs know Undercommon? What about the Drow Sign Language? RAW it doesn't look like it.

The races presented in the "Player's Handbook" know the languages in their language entries.

A monstrous member of a race has no bearing on how a playable member of that race works. #DnD https://t.co/CYjCSHw7SL
