PHB p85 says Divine Smite max 5d8. Crit on level 1 smite vs fiend, 6d8 (2d8 + 1d8 fiend bonus, x2 since crit) or 5d8?
@MathPhDwhoplays a crit would ignore any caps imposed by the special ability. you can pump it up to its max, then let the crit add on

@Zarniasdoes the Magic Initiate feat add the 1st level spell to your spell list (or spells known)? Yes, believe it does.

“@BrillitteCH: Favorite edition of D&D and why?”
5th Edition … because it's coherent, inviting, imaginative, inclusive, and DM-friendly.

@CHoffos @CodarusTridon I think the air cult – wings and such, storms, looked most dramatic

@thiagomarchetti @JeremyECrawfordIs there any guidelines for awarding xp when players kill some of the monsters in a combat and then flee? i'd award XP for only the defeated monsters. If monsters fled, I'd treat them as defeated

@nirvanstryder @JeremyECrawfordWizards are bookworms so no armor & weapons. What’s rationale for Sorcerers to lack armor & weapons as Warlocks sorcerer is a natural talent – assumes average person who gains power

@nirvanstryder @JeremyECrawfordCouldn’t the same be said for Warlock. Average person makes pact to gain power?

@maxximenez @JeremyECrawford Are there any creatures in the MM or other books (but not the phb) that you think may be good familiar options? IME, you can use creatures of CR < 1, if you roleplay the creature as independent, strong personality
