@PlaguescarredRE this discussion-Can stabilized PC spend HD after 1hr short rest even though it regain 1HP after 1d4hr? believe that is correct – at 0 hp, a short rest lets you spend HD

@SnarkKnight1They want a Dark Sun game 11 days after the PHB comes out? But what can I use for defiling rules? Help me @mikemearls you’re my only hope. I'd let defiling replenish the use of arcane recovery

@JasonBrock20There has been confusion over the durable feat and the meaning of “roll” does a 20 con wizard regain a min 10 or 15 hp w/ feat? 10 – roll means die roll + mods. Anything that affects only the number yielded by the die will say so specifically.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 3, 2014

@ThingsCalledArt @JasonBrock20The halfling lucky doesn’t specify only the number on the die. So it only works on a roll of 1 after modifiers? should specify natural 1

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 3, 2014

@ThingsCalledArt @JasonBrock20 just looked at the feat – the wording issue is there. should be result, not roll

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 3, 2014

@mikemearls nothing in 5e uses the term natural roll. See rogue reliable talent, champion crit range, etc.

@mikemearlsyeah, just looked at feat. the min roll + con mod application is fine. so a class with d6 or d8 HD and a 20 con can use durable to get back more than max possible?

@ccarlson101 yes

Do you see Tiny being a possibility in 5e, or would they become Small for a PC race?

@ArtificerAlfThe pixie was size Tiny in 4e. Do you see Tiny being a possibility in 5e, or would they become Small for a PC race? I think it's still Tiny, but the way we treat size in 5th makes it a pretty small issue for most classes.

If a rogue attacks an enemy when emerging from a cover source, does he still gain benefit of stealth in the attack?

@IanPlakiasIf a rogue attacks an enemy when emerging from a cover source, does he still gain benefit of stealth in the attack? Only if the rogue is still hidden when making the attack.

@pointsevenoneWhy are monsters’ ranks called “CR” instead of “Level”? They mean the same thing, more or less, and level seems less “jargony”. we actually use CR in a slightly different way – goes below 1 and above 20, so not exactly how we use it with PCs

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014

@pointsevenonehmm, fair enough. But monster Ability Scores can go <8 & >20 and are still called Ability Scores. Why not the same for levels? there are PC abilities that can push a score above 20, and rolling could give you a 3

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014

@pointsevenone part of it is also how you use CR – a level 4 fighter NPC is not actually a level 4 opponent in terms of challenge

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014

@pointsevenoneSorry to be pestering you about this. Started in 4e with XP budgets and trying to wrap my head around this CR thing. So CR represents a monster's power. You should avoid using monsters with a CR above the party's average level.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014

@pointsevenone the actual number you use is based on the total XP budget just like in 4e

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014

@pointsevenone in 4e terms, mostly the same, but instead of using any critter keep yourself to critters with CR = or less than PC level

. @h347h1 Would using bracers of armor change the way you calculate AC or can they stack with unarmored defence? probably not stack – think of bracers and unarmored defense as establishing a base AC, like using natural OR manufactured armor

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 13, 2014

@Nalim_X @h347h1 @reddemon102005 Mike Mearls, could it be that you are still judging this by the Bracers’ outdated playtest description? might be – as I said, going by recall and not text

@DorianHartRogue Hides behind tree. Ogre can’t see him. Leans out, shoots ogre, returns. Advantage on attack? Sneak attack? Same next turn? I would say advantage on attack, disadvantage on check to hide again
