@mikemearls hi sorry to bother, but if you don't mind I have a question about dnd 5e that's been bugging me (see next tweet)

@RichardMassive in the PHB things that give medium armor prof also give shields, with one exception: the Mountain Dwarf. oversight or intended? intended – shields are a little too flexible to give out as easily.

@jonredsnz @Wizards_DnDcan you recommend a good one shot adventure to hook new players to 5th edition? Phandelver may be a bit long Phandelver is basically several small adventures strung together. You could use part of it, like Cragmaw Castle.

@WolfHunter83In D&D 5e how is it possible to build a gunslinger which uses two handguns? No rules allows Two-Weapon Ranged – Fighting? the key would be limiting the firearms to up to d6 damage – you can two weapon fight with ranged weapons that fit TWF reqs

@WolfHunter83Many DM would live this like a problem and prevent player to build
this type of character. An official rule would be better. So essentially you’re saying that I should House Rule the TWF rule? PH clearly says TWF needs melee weapons. yes, that is what i'm saying. you're already using firearms, so go for it.

@dndiy_ftHey Mike! Can a monk move in between his additional unarmed attacks or his Fury of Blows? yes

@edge2054 @JeremyECrawford Does casting a spell from a scroll, wand, etc. trigger arcane ward? Can magic item spells be twinned? believe it's only when you cast from your slots

@MJStephensWordsFor smites, should I read “melee weapon attack” as “with a melee weapon in melee or thrown” or “melee attacks with a weapon”? second option

@huntinglabrats A player had advantage on an attack and rolled the first die a 15 and the second a 20, does he get a crit on the attack? Yes – the player uses the better of the two results

@sn0wravenCan Borngray move 15ft, misty step (bonus), multiattack (action), move 15ft away, and use shield spell (reaction) if targeted? yes – so long as he uses only 1 action, 1 reaction, and 1 bonus action and moves only on his turn
