@Alphastream So, if I have disadvantage and I’m lucky, I get choice of all three dice? Doesn’t that turn disad into advantage?
That's how the feat works. It's long been on our radar as a potential problem. But SA is for clarification, not redesign.

@maialidethGood point on the clarification vs redesign. With the clarification it is easier for me as DM to decide what to do with it.
I'm glad you see it that way! The clarifications I give are meant to be tools for DMs. A DM, not the rules, runs the game.

@SupahewokDoes a noncaster character with Magic Initiate qualify as spellcaster for purpose of item attunement, ie Wand of Fireballs?
Yep! Magic Initiate turns you into a spellcaster if you weren't one already.

@ReubenFontanaBy the same token, does a race with some spellcasting ability (tiefling, or even high elf) qualify? Yes! @Supahewok

@JeremyECrawford Pls expln Lucky Feat from Sage Advice. So attacking with disad, luck point, now best of three? How is that still disad?

— Dan Hass (@danhass) May 18, 2015

You pick the d20 but have disadvantage, so things like Sneak Attack that are blocked by disadvantage are blocked. https://t.co/tyR93I700H

@nachohaIt would make more sense if you rolled 2, discarded the higher, then rolled a 3rd and discarded the lower.
That would be a sensible way to run it, if a DM wanted.

@maialidethSo statistically your odds improve even more with disadvantage and lucky than if only with lucky?
Yep! We think of it as fortune smiling on the unlucky. @mrlong78

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm sure you've answered this many times, but Google has failed me. Do you use programs like Realm Works? If so, which?

I don't, and I'm surprised Google doesn't know that. I thought we were close. https://t.co/zTrHvXMgAV

@JeremyECrawfordI would like to hear more behind the design benefits for “free hand” – problematic to favor xbow+blade or shield wielder?
Thinking on this… is the free-hand design mainly to encourage a true free hand as an option, vs shield/wpn?

— Alphastream (@Alphastream) May 18, 2015

@AlphastreamI’m not seeing the benefit of tracking that free hand in play.
As a DM, I rarely enforce such little rules, except when a player is abusing them to hog the spotlight or damage the narrative.

@JohnnyD1722Just read latest Sage Advice, kind of let down, no more dual wielding hand crossbows? Were they too good? Today's Sage Advice didn't change the rules. It explained how the ammunition property has been meant to work all along.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 19, 2015

@corymacdonaldSo the lucky feat turns disadvantage into super-advantage? That’s pretty lucky. 😉
It sure is lucky! But keep in mind that anything shut off by disadvantage is still shut off.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 18, 2015

@JeremyECrawford @corymacdonald You realize you can close your eyes and attack to impose disad on yourself? So lucky means 3/day super ad?

— Dan Hass (@danhass) May 18, 2015

@derekstucki Closed eyes doesn’t mean blinded any more than holding still means paralyzed.
Exactly. The game is not designed to treat a prolonged blink as blindness. @danhass @corymacdonald

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 18, 2015

@corymacdonaldRegardless. It would seem odd NOT to give disadvantage to a player fighting with eyes closed.
I'd say the character is blinded if the eyes stay shut until the start of the character's next turn. @derekstucki @danhass

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 19, 2015

@madcapscience The feat is good—maybe too good. But in Sage Advice, I explain how the game works, not how I wish it worked. @corymacdonald

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 19, 2015

@danhass I'm making a distinction between closing them for a second and keeping them closed. @derekstucki
