@MCMurtaghlots of chat with flying has been grappling someone and dropping them from heights. How would you rule accomplishing this? I'd make it fairly hard – creature would have to be smaller than flier, strength contest with target at advantage

About genasi
@Sword_of_Spirit @JeremyECrawfordPlayer’s Companion air/earth genasi noticeably weaker than fire/water. Missing something; or am I just crazy? weaker is a relative term – that said, we'll include the material in future feedback surveys

Do you guys have good tips for running narrative combat with tactical-focused players?

@SlyFlourish Roleplaying the foes during combat helps keep people in the story. Forefront personality. @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD

@SlyFlourish Also, most foes are not brilliant tacticians. I play them accordingly, which often entertains. @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD

@SlyFlourish @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford focus on personalities – what can you do with motives/goals to make opponents stand out

Can you use a shove attack with a reach weapon, specifically a whip?
@TyrakiXHey Mike. Just wondering can you use a shove attack with a reach weapon, specifically a whip? I wouldn't allow it with a whip, but for polearms I'd be OK

Elemental Evil Clerics and Monks
@maxximenezI’m surprised at the lack of cleric support in the elemental supplement. Some of the spells would fit tempest clerics well. we're taking it slow with clerics – much easier to do some more testing and add spells later

@maxximenezI assume the same goes for elemental monks? I found their lack of attention conspicuous. Will we see more in future UA articles? yeah, we're being *very* careful especially early on. hard-learned mistake from past editions.

Acquisitions Incorporated PAX East 2015
Enjoy the King of Dungeon Masters Chris Perkins, Green Flaame!
“Our heroes arrive in Baldur’s Gate only to find that something foul is afoot. They must discover the secret evil that smolders in the shadows before the great city turns against them.”
Look at the sheets with area name on it, it’s simply and can help to focus on important sceanarios of the story.
Ed’s Great scene
If I sit and try to think up a great scene, nothing happens. If I sit down and start to write, one always comes along.
