@JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD Are the daggers produced by the “Bracers of Flying Daggers” (WDH p190) Thrown Melee Weapons or Ranged Weapons??? Unclear as text says “making a ranged attack with each dagger”

Daggers are melee weapons. Because they have the thrown property, they're not improvised weapons when used to make ranged attacks.
If a rule says you're making a ranged attack with a dagger, that rule doesn't change the fact that the dagger is a melee weapon. #DnD https://t.co/yzImWc9gS1

So it's a ranged weapon attack with a melee weapon?

When you make a ranged attack with a weapon, you're making a ranged weapon attack. #DnD https://t.co/XapYj6R5z6

Curious whether something is a melee weapon or a ranged weapon? Take a look at the Weapons table in the "Player's Handbook" (p. 149). The table organizes the weapons into melee and ranged categories. #DnD

But a "ranged weapon attack" is not a "ranged weapon" for things like Sneak Attack, correct?

An attack is something you do.
A weapon is one of the things you can use to do it. #DnD https://t.co/xEhOEYCSRQ

The older I get, the more I internalize this important lesson: very few things in life are obvious to everyone.
