do you think you could use minor illusion to create a mirror image of yourself to help with shaving and such. Or maybe just your head? Asking for a wizard friend RAW, it needs to be within a 5-ft cube, and is an illusion by nature, so it cannot interact with anything physical. However, your DM can decide otherwise!

7 of my family have asked to play #familydnd. 6 have never played. This is awesome, but how do I DM for such a massive group!? I originally wanted to run LMoP, but with 7 players? Yikes. Any advice? @ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford #dnd

I often DM for 7 players. Some tips:
Skip fights with little story relevance.
Make sure each character gets at least one special moment of action, description, or humor per session.
Let the characters chat. Listen. They’ll come up with great story ideas. Use those ideas. #DnD https://t.co/VfWfntjsU8

How do you skip fights with little story relevance but keep the 4 to 6 encounters per day? It's my biggest problem to balance the short rests classes.
— Ed, Edd n Eddy (@eddmafra) June 28, 2018
D&D doesn’t require a certain number of encounters per day.
The “Dungeon Master’s Guide” gives the number of encounters a typical group can face before tuckering out.
There’s no minimum. #DnD https://t.co/b3dvHyyrFD

I think what he's saying Jeremy, is how do you keep the combat challenging when you are skipping fights meant to "burn resources" for classes that only require a short rest to regain something.
— Jason Lamb (@jas0n_35) June 28, 2018
DMs, modify encounters on the fly to increase immersion and fun.
As DM, I love it when the player characters haven't burned any of their resources. That means I'm even more likely to throw a hard/deadly encounter at them and watch the sparks fly! #DnD https://t.co/RXrqeUBwY7

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Do all aasimar have human parentage or could some potentially be born from non-human parents.
— Jake (@jacobhunni) July 19, 2018
They can have whatever parentage works best for the story you want to tell. #wotcstaff https://t.co/MTsnh4MBSp

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I’m running the classic 2E version of The Ruins of Undermountain (with 5e rules). How different will Dungeon of the Mad Mage be?
— This Quest Sucks (@heroskulls) July 18, 2018
Undermountain, as presented in Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, is over 100 years older than its 2e counterpart. It also trades width for depth. #wotcstaff https://t.co/WAbt9F9fzu

I think I understand why this decision was made, having studied all the old maps so well now… I’m curious as hell what’s deep down in level 23 now! 😈

1)
The priest came awake shouting. Wild-eyed, white, and drenched with sweat, he stared at his fellow adventurers who’d come grimly running, weapons drawn, and gasped, “I had visions—and they were terrible!”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
2)
“Uh-huh,” the thief sighed. “You had a nightmare. I TOLD you not to eat the basilisk tarts.”
The priest drew himself up. “These were VISIONS,” he said haughtily, “not a nightmare. I saw wagons that rumbled along roads…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
3)
…by themselves—no oxen! And FAST! And those roads were clad in something smooth, and there were lights that flamed not, on tall straight poles, all along them, so they rushed along by night!”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
4)
His fellow adventurers traded glances. And sighed. “What’d he have to drink?” the thief asked.
Ignoring her, the priest rushed on. “And there were great gatherings of light in the darkness!”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
5)
“Uh-huh,” the warrior agreed soothingly.
“Encampments of armies larger than any I’ve ever seen!” the priest told him excitedly. “And there were huge loud metal birds in the sky, too! That flew without moving their wings!”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
6)
The warrior backhanded the priest’s head with one heavy-gauntleted hand—and the holy man toppled, senseless.
“Sleep deeper, and bring back better visions,” the warrior growled. “I don’t think much of these.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 28, 2018
When rolling for a percentage and rolling a D10 and a percentage dice when you roll a 0 on the D10 is it a 0 or a 10. Also what would the dice look like for it to be rolled a 100, what would it look like for a 10? Oh man, the relic of a time when putting two numbers on a die side… when rolling 1d10, 0 is 10. When rolling percentile dice, its 0, unless you roll 00, then it’s 100.
