Spear and Trident
@JeremyECrawford Spear & trident are the exact same thing aside from gp cost. Is that an error for them to be the same besides cost?

Their similarity is not an error. https://t.co/AsffuG9ANJ

@jackAbrasion @JeremyECrawford same damage, lighter than the trident, cheaper too. I MUST be missing something here.

@vikke064So pay more for a heavier piece because it looks good? That is a choice that some characters will happily make.

@vikke064Then why is there no Katana? I don’t see a relevant difference
Or is it that important that it is hard to look cool w trid? Regarding the katana, check out the Wuxia Weapon Names table in the DMG (p. 41).

@vikke064My point is that the trident as it is written should have been given the “other name” treatment or a larger damage die. A trident is physically distinct from a spear, not a different name for one.

@vikke064 The weapon list is, indeed, meant to be understood within the game's larger context: proficiencies, aesthetics, magic items, etc.

@rjfTrebor We've found that there is rarely unanimity among #DnD players. A thing that one group loathes might be loved by another group.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) July 28, 2015
Weapon choice passes through proficiencies, features, and aesthetic/cultural preferences. Overlap is intentional. https://t.co/EfHZDANKIh

How to calculate area of affect without using minis
.ChrisPerkinsDnD @ChrisPerkinsDnD @ChrisSSims @mikemearls one of the DnD guys shared an = on how to calc area of affect w/o using minis.
— Dustin Stuckel (@insanitygawd) July 28, 2015
@insanitygawd @ChrisPerkinsDnD @ChrisSSims I thought I saw that – personally, I'd roll a d6, -1 or -2 for smaller AoEs, +1 or +2 for larger

Only one spell
@jnodonnell The rule on bonus action spells (PH, 202) isn't meant to be applied to spells that take 1 action to cast.

Ranger Natural Explorer downtime
@jstormtrackerCan Rangers use the concept of downtime to learn new areas for things like Natural Explorer if enough time is spent I'd allow it

Track their food/water. Maybe the characters will turn to cannibalism when things get dire. Dune meets Donner party! https://t.co/LjSqpy2Rg7

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JonSciandra use blue poker chips to represent water, red to represent food. Keeps people honest about their resources.

Dragon Sorcerer and Unarmored defense AC
@nerdimmersion @JeremyECrawford Would the AC bonus from Dragon Sorcerer Draconic Resilience stack with Unarmored Defense from Monk/Barbarian? no – any effect that gives you a new AC formula does not stack. pick which one to use

Half of half resistance
@DarthJerodif a creature/pc has Resistance and then makes a saving throw against said resistance it is Half of Half correct? #DnD5e yes
