If a shadow demon uses Shadow Stealth to hide in dim light, does its attempt fail if it’s being observed by a foe with darkvision, for whom dim light is like bright light?

Venerable sage and superb DM (trying to avoid crossbow quarrels or a mimic to the face in our next game, because you’re ruthless as well as wise), was Manshoon or Szass Tam ever considered for the role of Chosen of Mystra or indeed any other deity? Oh, yes. Manshoon was offered that status, and repudiated it. Mystra later offered him "a separate peace," and he repudiated THAT. (See the closing scenes of ELMINSTER MUST DIE.) Like Sammaster, in the end having unbridled access of power was too strong an allure.#Realmslore

@matthewmercer @Dan_Dillon_1 @jamesjhaeck @JeremyECrawford Sorry if this was already answered, but I haven’t seen it
Can Bards take Dunamancy spells vía Magical Secrets? As written they’re subclass exclusive but still part of the Wizard class.
So…. Yes, they can?

Entirely up to your DM to decide if those spells are available.
A bard can't select spells they don't know to exist.

Curious how a nonwizard gains a dunamancy spell from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount? That book says, "These spells are available to the wizard subclasses previously mentioned in this chapter, as well as other spellcasting classes with the Dungeon Master’s consent." #DnD https://t.co/IPEskezR61

@TheEdVerse What were the military forces of ancient Netheril like? Were they pure spellcasters – because of their pride surrounding magic – or did they have other kinds of troops as well? Favorite tactics? What ranks might they have had?

1)
The ancient Netherese were NOT monolithic. The cities they created were very different from each other, intentionally so, and so were their military forces. Some used their “underclass” of workers, some captured and enslaved, some built the equivalent of.. 2)
…battlebots, some captured, bred, and modified-for-more-fearsome-natural-weapons beasts (the equivalent of up-gunned wardogs), and so on.
Many gamers immediately want to know rank structures, because they're thinking in terms of professional standing armies…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020
3)
…(career soldiers). That might fit a handful of Netherese cities, but not most of them. They were interested in new tech and magic innovations, changing their lives. Fighting was a fleeting necessary nuisance when someone/something got in their way or 4)
…inconvenienced/defied them.
So they were like all sorts of different military forces, from howling mobs with a few flying artificers above them hurling spells, to monster-equivalents of war elephants with junior mages aplenty riding them hurling spells, to…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020
5)
…elite warrior bodyguards forming human wedges protecting "battlemasters" armed with arsenals of rods, staves, wands, and rings they unleash in all directions, to flying wyvern mage-cavalry, and on and on. ;}
In other words, a DM can hurl ANYTHING at PCs. ;}#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020
That’s fascinating – and exciting with all the possibilities. Thank you so much! You're very welcome! Have fun creating new augmented monsters and wild battle spells! (And remember, some Netherese archwizards won't care much what happens to their own underlings, so may blast them or transform them into beasts to fight.)#Realmslore

“Fascinating in its candor as this converse is, Sire and Lords, I feel I must interrupt it to point out that the door into the rose garden is OPENING.”

“The one who’s mad enough to think he’s a KING. Got it?”

“Well, well, what have we here? Why, I do believe it’s the King of Neverune! 3)

What's the reason that a non-monk character can't use the second fist as a bonus action when it can already use that bonus action for any light weapon?
If you could use both fist, you still deal less damage than a monk…— Moses Lord (@MosesLord777) April 17, 2020
The 2-weapon bonus action on page 195 of the Player’s Handbook is a special action for weapons that have the light property. It has no other purpose. It’s not trying to model two-handed fighting of any other sort. Other features in the game do that better. #DnD https://t.co/pRuSlgGZgq

@JeremyECrawford hello!! Question: my friend was playing a paladin. He got a attack of opportunity and wanted to blast it with a smite? I said it’s a reaction and it only one melee attack. Not sure on the ruling. We let it go cause it was a cool part in the story.
— Randy Hoffmeyer (@Randyhoffmeyer) April 18, 2020
The paladin's Divine Smite feature isn't limited to the paladin's turn. Its prerequisite is hitting a creature with a melee weapon attack. #DnD https://t.co/E3b49ZLXco
