@JeremyECrawford Shocking Grasp is cast and a rogue tries to reduce the damage w Uncanny Dodge. Timing Q: does SG prevent UD from working?

The hit of shocking grasp occurs before Uncanny Dodge, so yes, that spell prevents a use of Uncanny Dodge. #DnD https://t.co/Y3UoVw2OxW

@JeremyECrawford @scatterbreak is this due to it being a touch effect?? Since touch is required I see it would be difficult to dodge it…

Uncanny Dodge is a reaction in response to a hit, but shocking grasp denies you a reaction if it hits you. #DnD https://t.co/NdD4jywcAv

@JeremyECrawford Does that imply you can't use UD to reduce damage that would knock you unconscious, which also prevents reactions?

Uncanny Dodge reduces damage before you apply the effects of the damage. #DnD https://t.co/HlItn04Tk2
