@PopeJewishIf I’m using a spell that require concentration, can I cast other spells or cantrips or will that break the concentration? While concentrating on a spell, casting another spell doesn’t break your concentration unless the second spell also requires it.

Can an Archfey Warlock self harm to trigger Misty Escape?
@JeremyECrawford Can an Archfey Warlock self harm to trigger Misty Escape? Could scale walls, survive falls with a little stab in the thigh?
— Evan Whakahau (@monkib0y) April 28, 2016
As DM, I'd allow a warlock to trigger Misty Escape with self-harm, but not with any sort of pulled punch. #DnD https://t.co/rJOvETjIDY

@DaddyDM @monkib0ySo @monkib0y @JeremyECrawford stabbing yourself for 1 point of damage is an acceptable way to escape being grappled? I said no pulled punches. Using the rules, how do you stab yourself with, say, a dagger and guarantee only 1 damage?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 3, 2016
I purpose a knife tool is not going to do damage a dagger does & a smart warlock will keep 1 handy for this use. @JeremyECrawford @monkib0y

An improvised weapon deals 1d4 + modifier damage. #DnD https://t.co/f6hfWshWDC

All are trained in unarmed strike which does 1 point +StrMod of damage (Str 10 = 1 point) @JeremyECrawford @monkib0y https://t.co/zmj741fuK7

@DaddyDM @monkib0y That is correct. But I was talking about improvised weapons, not unarmed strikes.

What are the rules for creatures carrying friendly PCs?
@JeremyECrawford what are the rules for creatures carrying friendly PCs? e.g mage polymorphed into giant eagle carrying allies? (5e)

See "Lifting and Carrying" in the Player's Handbook (p. 176) for rules on carrying capacity. #DnD https://t.co/aWK4HExok3

@JeremyECrawford Are we to assume no adjustment for flying vs walking?
— Ken Walter (@redkatartist) May 9, 2016
The carrying capacity rules make no distinction between walking and flying creatures. #DnD https://t.co/jTcFKLE1OT

“D&D system is meant to be broken” how do you feel about this philosophy?
@JeremyECrawford One of my players recently mentioned that his philosophy on D&D mechanics is that “the system is meant to be broken,” which can be frustrating for me at times. As one of the key people behind creating these mechanics, how do you feel about this philosophy?
— Ned Wilcock (@NeddyRoosevelt) May 11, 2020
The rules of D&D are a toolbox, and each group decides how to use the tools within, ideally in a way that heightens the group's fun. If abiding by the rules is your bliss, follow them. If changing them is your jam, tweak them. If you prefer a middle path, happily walk it. #DnD https://t.co/4TmDMjremF

Is a Monk’s Unarmed Strike a Finesse weapon?
@jaa0109 Is a Monk’s Unarmed Strike a Finesse weapon? Can’t seem to find it listed anywhere. Curious about Sneak Attacks The monk's unarmed strike doesn't count as a finesse weapon. @mikemearls

If as a Monk I take the feat for proficiency with 4 more weapons, can I treat them as Monk weapons?
@Mighty_GrifoLittle clarification please. If as a Monk I take the feat for proficiency with 4 more weapons, can I treat them as Monk weapons? no, only if the weapons are specifically called out as monk weapons

Can this Protection fighting style be used after the attack was rolled?
@mikemearls Fighter with Protection fighting style. Can this style be used after the attack was rolled? Jeremy is being too slow to respond.
— Mark St. Thomas (@astromath) May 27, 2016
Jeremy is on vacation! I'd say yes, you can use after the roll. https://t.co/lDb4kcaQIl

DC save spell at ranged creature while engaged in melee, there should be some penalty?
@rob2e @ChrisPerkinsDnDSeems when casting a DC save spell at ranged creature while engaged in melee, there should be some penalty? we cut that for simplicity – no real easy, elegant way to make it work for saves
