@JeremyECrawford Still confused about spell targeting, does it happen during casting or after? Especially "instantaneous" w/ multi targets?
— Lawrence R. Hoy (@lawrencehoy) July 8, 2015
Targeting is an organic part of casting a spell and rarely isolatable. "Instantaneous" refers to a spell's effects. https://t.co/475XhV5APT

@JeremyECrawford sorry, *why does it imply once per round?
— Foxy Boxes (@_FoxyBoxes_) July 8, 2015
@_FoxyBoxes_ The feature is meant to be read in its entirety, which talks about one object. The bonus-action sentence doesn't undo that.

@JeremyECrawford Does a friendly creature under the effects of Polymorph have to take the mental stats of the new form?
— William Fox (@Bloody_Barghest) July 8, 2015
Yes, that's the intent. https://t.co/pq8UWd8CTn

@TrainerJodie If a shadow monk uses Ki to cast darkness, is it still a concentration spell requiring concentration checks if he’s hit? yes. still requires concentration

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hi Chris! I'm a published writer w/ good credentials. I've recently fallen in love with DnD. How does WotC hire freelance?

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Related: So MM=declare all targets before rolling, but SR=declare, roll to hit, roll for damage 3x in sequence?
— Dan Glading (@danglading) July 15, 2015
Correct. Magic missile's exceptional quality is called out in the spell: "The darts all strike simultaneously." https://t.co/nmzDSsWrNL

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Does the Sacred Weapon paladin feat. char bonus counts for shoving? Also, does any magical weapon bonus count?
— Guilherme Foscolo (@gfoscolo) July 15, 2015
Nope. The shove option (PH, 195) isn't a weapon attack. https://t.co/KvtKOyb4cb

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawfordSome spells (like Eldritch Blast) targeted to creature. Some others (like Fire Bolt) targeted to object too. This means that I can't attack the door by Eldritch Blast?
— GromHoll (@GromHoll) July 14, 2015
@GromHoll @JeremyECrawford I believe (and Jeremy can correct me) that the DMG talks about this and how to handle it
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) July 14, 2015
@GromHoll @JeremyECrawford using RAW, yes. Idea, IIRC, is that some spells have a physical heft, others only disrupt/affect creatures
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) July 14, 2015
The target specifications (creature, object, or something else) in spells are intentional. A DM can make exceptions. https://t.co/MDTAUXADWa
