@jeffstrainDo monks have proficiency with unarmed strikes? If I have Dex bonus +3 and proficiency +2, is my unarmed attack roll +3, or +5? +5

Nothic telepathy
@Brail4 @mikemearls @JeremyECrawfordNothic: Starter set says he communicates w/telepathy,but telepathy not in statblock. Confused. At some point, we must've jettisoned telepathy in favor of Undercommon. Probably in a fit of pique.

@Brail4 @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford But without Telepathy and only Undercommon,how could he? Assume the nothic in the SS has telepathy.

Tiefling and forest gnome as pixie
@travismarcum 3.5 group -> 5e, have a SavSpe pixie in a prominent role. Will 5e use ECL/mon class levels? Or innate spells like tiefling? The tiefling and the forest gnome are good models for how you could build a pixie as a player character.

Dragonborn Druid
@dantedipasqualeDo Dragonborn Druids retain breath & resist in Wildshape? Can a caster use 2 spells in a surprise round with the ready action? no and I think no

Would Hex on monster’s Strength checks lower the DC to escape grapple?
@jtburling @Plaguescarredwould Hex on monster’s Strength checks lower the DC to escape grapple?Like -5 for disadvantage on passive checks? sounds like a fine DM call to me

What can the Beast Master’s animal companion do if the Ranger falls to 0 HP?
@archaeonagawhat can the Beast Master’s animal companion do if the Ranger falls to 0 HP? Is it limited only to movement? I'd let it protect and aid ranger
