Question from a guy that I couldn’t put to bed. –
“Can you fire a bow at somebody who is 5′ away and if so is it still a ranged attack?”
Answered as best I could, but he yearns for word from on high. Yes and yes.

When gaining the benefits of cover are you assumed to be crouching?
@JeremyECrawford when gaining the benefits of coverbal are you assumed to be crouching next to it.

The rules on cover make no assumptions about your posture. What matters is how much of your body is covered. #DnD https://t.co/kQTamfK2e7

Do elves daydream? And if so, what’s it about?

Anyone can daydream. In D&D, you decide what your character daydreams about. (I'm daydreaming about shortbread cookies and Dragon Quest XI.) #DnD https://t.co/iXN3esf7SO

So YOU ate all of the cookies @ChrisPerkinsDnD brought in! I did eat a ton of them! 😊

I had a situation where a player cast the shield spell after being hit while blinded
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls @SageAdviceDnD I had a situation where a player cast the shield spell after being hit while blinded. RAW this seems fine, but I feel like the spell should probably read "an attack you can see". Thoughts?
— Korik (@Korik26037467) October 30, 2018
If you cast the shield spell in response to being hit by an attack, you don't need to see the attacker or the attack. If you needed to see either, the spell would say so.
The spell is intentionally that good. #DnD https://t.co/j92iPFC1iU

I could see that – I'd be sure to let players know ahead of time about that, though, since it does change the spell functionality.

Any thoughts on a HR Feat that lets a Lance use opportunity attacks of Polearm master?
@LN_outsider @JeremyECrawfordAny thoughts on a (homebrew)Feat that lets a Lance use the portion about opportunity attacks of Polearm master? if you're OK with polearm master as is, I think that can work for you
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 22, 2016
@LN_outsiderI was wondering if there were any balance issues on letting a Lance or any other reach weapon benefit from that feat 🙂 nah – one weapon gets it, you can kind of give it to any weapon with the same or smaller damage die

Does “creature” as applied to hold monster, affect everyone except undead?
@JeremyECrawford Settle a debate? Does "creature" as applied to hold monster, affect everyone except undead? Such as halfling PC's?
— Matt aka Wally West (@TheThirdFlash) April 23, 2016
"Creature" refers to characters and monsters alike. #DnD https://t.co/wTkJovzixQ

Ranger Colossus slayer + Hunter’s Mark + Sharpshooter feat… I crit! How many dice do I roll?
@theCowardlyRianRanger attacks with longbow. Colossus slayer, hunter’s mark and sharpshooter feat being used, I crit! How many dice do I roll? take all the dice you’d normally roll for that damage, pick them up, roll them again. all dice are rerolled on a crit
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 25, 2016
@theCowardlyRiandoes the +10 damage from sharpshooter feat also get doubled? nope, only dice, not flat modifiers

Is there a way to convert older modules?
Is there a way to convert older #DnD modules to be played with #5thEdition? @ChrisPerkinsDnD or anyone else.
— Gilbert Lafreniere (@grip42182) April 5, 2016
1st through 3rd edition modules convert very easily to 5th. You can run them as-is using 5E monster stats and DCs. https://t.co/dcbesG6SjJ
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 5, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Follow up: what about world specific creatures without 5e stat blocks? The old 2e Dragonlance modules seem problematic.
— J. C. Nash (@jetgreentears) April 5, 2016
Yes, that is problematic. Use the guidelines in the DMG to substitute existing stat blocks or invent new ones. https://t.co/RVy2NmpXVn
