hey @JeremyECrawford, is Bigby's Hand actually flying e.g. is it's movement speed = flying speed? The spell doesn't seem to describe it as neither "walking" nor "flying"

— KiwiMayCry (@KiwiMayCry) March 14, 2018

Bigby's hand doesn't have a speed. As the spellcaster, you can magically move the hand in any direction. #DnD https://t.co/UtOL7WnWqi

So any direction means vertically and horizontally then? That would be pretty strong! 😁 Yes.

Hex only procs damage on attacks correct? So not stuff like fireball or a dragon's breath weapon which are not attacks

— Gay of Frost (@1d8_cold_damage) January 26, 2018

Hex requires you to hit with an attack. If something, like fireball, involves no attack roll and no hit, it doesn't work with hex. #DnD https://t.co/SOYCGzhAcw

@JeremyECrawford Hi, quick question: Is DnD 5e designed/intended to be played with or without a DM screen. (especially in regard to players always seeing rolls that the DM makes). Thanks!

— Freek Metsch (@JustLikeFM) March 10, 2018

D&D is designed to be played with or without a DM screen. It works either way! The DM decides which rolls to reveal and which ones to conceal—whatever works best for the group and for the moment. #DnD https://t.co/uLKREns1EU

@JeremyECrawford I ask because the spell 'Shield' RAW says that it's trigger is 'when you are hit by an attack', but it says nothing about seeing the attack roll. Is the player supposed to see the roll, or just supposed to know if the attack hit? https://t.co/EWVk82pN57

— Freek Metsch (@JustLikeFM) March 10, 2018

The shield spell has two different triggers: being hit by an attack or being targeted by the magic missile spell. Neither trigger requires you to see a die roll. #DnD https://t.co/OLUfg1FeLC

@JeremyECrawford Does Booming Blade make noise and if it does, how much?

— J_Black (@J_Blackwell13) March 22, 2018

Booming blade does make noise. The spell's description says the target is surrounded by booming energy. The DM decides who can hear the booming. #DnD https://t.co/ubYx90XMQw

@JeremyECrawford what counts as a spell effect for resolving what can pass through a cube of force 's 4th face?

— Wonkey.Ps (@orgemcgee) March 22, 2018

A spell effect is an effect created by a spell. #DnD https://t.co/8vFKDHLqzL

@JeremyECrawford how much cover is needed to make a hide roll in combat? As a general rule.

— Travis Blueter (@TBlueter) February 4, 2018

The DM determines whether a creature is sufficiently obscured to successfully hide. And even if there is enough concealment, the DM might decide your attempts fail if you, for example, keep hiding behind the same pillar and your enemy watches you do it. #DnD https://t.co/LRokTZimzu

I thought it didn't matter if they know where you are as long as you're unseen and unheard? (Pulling from your podcast segment on stealth)

— Nathaniel Kreiman (@NKreim) February 4, 2018

Being unseen and unheard is all that is required to be hidden. However, the DM can apply advantage/disadvantage to Perception/Stealth as appropriate, given environmental circumstances and creatures' behavior. #DnD https://t.co/humvK01DKJ

Related, I've been allowing our arcane trickster to use minor illusion to create a 5ft cube crate, then hide inside the illusion. Is this considered a fair use of abilities?

I'll probably continue to allow it either way, since it's fun.

— Jeff (@ghandigun) February 4, 2018

Minor illusion can create an illusory object that is big enough for you to hide behind or within (assuming you're not Large+). However, if you're taller than 5 ft., you'll often have to be effectively prone if you're trying to attack from inside the illusion. #DnD https://t.co/Da2LlVje73

@JeremyECrawford For Finger of Death: if the spell brings the target to 0hp and the target subsequently dies due to failed death saves, dies that count as FoD killing the target? Will it rise as a zombie?

— DanDanFielding (@DMdandanfieldng) March 14, 2018

A spell kills you if its damage or other effects slay you. If it reduces to you 0 hit points but leaves you alive, it didn't kill you. #DnD https://t.co/dwhtwSJFAM
