How are Tieflings treated in Waterdeep? Do they generally hide their appearances, are they accepted. etc? Is there a current resource I can find that has specifics on the races within the city and their status? @TheEdVerse @ChrisPerkinsDnD @jamesjhaeck @matthewmercer

Waterdeep is a tolerant crossroads trading city; tieflings are accepted, though some younglings and sheltered of any race may shrink back from someone whose appearance awes or frightens them. Drow, illithids, beholders, and orcs are the always-shunned races.

Waterdavians are accustomed to seeing all sorts of folks. Tieflings are no stranger than elves and gnomes in Waterdeep. #wotcstaff https://t.co/fSl4pvNwtz

That cool, but why then did a noble have to cut their tail off? Or the family that sends tiefling children off up north and hides that fact even though the devil blood is from years ago?

Waterdavian nobles are a different breed altogether. #wotcstaff https://t.co/33NG7zdIJo

Does Volo have a british accent or something more akin to Nathan Fillion? Asking for a friend in the middle of some very last minute costume arrangements I would go with British, but a fake British accent. He’s the kind of guy who probably really talks like an American but tries to sound British so people take him more seriously.

Question: Why is it that in D&D 5e the only thing that you don’t get your proficiency bonus to is AC?#DnDquestion @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford @Wizards_DnD

We assume that the base AC 10 reflects proficiency in not getting hit. Armor then adds on top. Trying to force it into armor would just add a pointless bonus that we'd offset across the board. https://t.co/yJiwqaw0Mb

That’s interesting. What about a non-medieval setting with little to no armor? Would the prof bonus be a valid substitute? Yes!

@HellcowKeithOut of curiosity, if this is the case, what’s the in-fiction/story thought process in the Warforged’s AC calculations? would know better, but i see it as warforged’s body physically improving

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 5, 2018

I agree. A warforged is a suit of magical living armor. Adding proficiency bonus to AC isn’t supposed to reflect greater skill at avoiding attacks, it reflects the armor and defensive enchantments of a warforged evolving and improving.
