@JeremyECrawford Does assassins get advantage on surprised enemies after they have taken their turn though they take no actions? #dnd

Assassinate gives advantage against someone who hasn't had a turn yet. Doesn't matter if they act on that turn. #DnD https://t.co/flkiAyobrU

While you wait, here’s a little gift: You can now find my new Bardic College of the Maestro up on the DM’s Guild! https://t.co/UOSyijRw7m

@kn1kelsk1 It’s designed to be a non-combat ability. Kind of hard to captivate someone with music when they’re fighting for their life, eh?

@epicc00kieMy good sir @matthewmercer can you explain the “Hymn of Harmony” from the Conducting Techniques if you will? It can only be triggered when another healing effect is happening. If they have an Inspiration die, they can roll bonus healing.

@NeilTurvilleSo wait does Frenetic Crescendo grant free inspiration to people when used without taking from the bardic pool No, it expends uses. You just have the ability to expend and give out multiple ones at once.

@Geonerd so I am inspired. My dwarf bards mentor is now this class. Rewriting backstory. Also is that feat open for any class? The feat is indeed usable for any class, much like the Martial Adept

@TheXethikThe extra Bard Insp at lvl 3 scales with char level, not class. Any concern of dip w/ Conductings that dont roll bard insp? Hrmm…interesting point. Let me think on it
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) May 20, 2016
@TheXethik I don’t know if it’s a serious issue. You’d need to dip 6 or more levels to really significantly embrace the college benefits.
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) May 20, 2016
@TheXethik I’ll keep an eye out during future playtests. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

@Trimble87wait is that a gnome or a halfling? Also either of those can have beards?!? neither! That’s a clean-cut Dwarf. 🙂
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) May 20, 2016
@xo_girlwonderThe Journeyman Conductor feat’s adds another Inspiration die, does it scale along with the rest of my Inspiration dice? If you are a Bard, aye!
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) May 21, 2016
@ShortOrdrBothanRequiem: “…radiant damage equal to your Bardic Inspiration die” Full die or rolled number? Other techniques specify rolls. Rolled die
— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) May 21, 2016
@Mattman_2016 with Resonance does the damage added equal the number you roll with the die? Or is it the total number of inspdie you have? the number you roll

What sort of substitutes for musical instruments would you suggest to people who like the bard as a class on a mechanical level but don't want tobe specifically a musician? Say, a propaganda artist – what would you recommend to make that?@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford
— Oscar.hildebrand (@Xippih) March 12, 2019
Bards aren't required to use musical instruments.
If you want to be a word-focused bard, go for it! #DnD https://t.co/qmgKodZ9Jp
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2019
But… isn’t the musical instrument their spell focus?
— Matt Wilcox (@MattWilcox) March 12, 2019
Every spellcaster—including bards—can use a component pouch for spellcasting.
Some classes also know how to use certain objects as a spellcasting focus. Bards, for example, can use musical instruments in this way, but they aren't required to. #DnD https://t.co/dGaeWqKwtd
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2019
Being able to use a musical instrument doesn’t mean you have to. You can use a component pouch instead.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 12, 2019
A quick question if you will. Is there such a thing as a single subclass being available for all classes? No.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 9, 2019
does the Lucky feat replace a roll even if the text doesn’t explicitly use the word replace? Some of your previous tweets imply yes.The Lucky feat does give you the ability to replace a roll, and you decide whether to make the replacement.

@JeremyECrawford Regarding Mace of Terror, (DM Guide, p. 180) "roll 1d3 to regain charges". For those (all) of us that dont have this particular plastic geometric phenomenon, what would you say would be an acceptable substitute

Once in a while, the mythical d2 and d3 appear in D&D rules. If you encounter them, the "Player's Handbook" can guide you in handling them. Check out the section called "Game Dice" on page 6 of that book. #DnD https://t.co/6IAg5LuiMU

@isaiahjcaseyif the D&D party all has guns, does the gunslinger need to have misfire for balance? The misfire mechanic works on all firearms, not just the gunslinger.

For the curious, my campaign – Storm Gate – deals with struggle between law and chaos. Law = tech, chaos = magic.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 17, 2016
The power of each varies, depending on whether law or chaos are ascendant.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 17, 2016
The paladin they met is lawful neutral with Oath of Science – allows tech items to work in his presence despite local influence of chaos.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 17, 2016
The world is divided in two – the west dominated by the chaos-wracked War Lands, the east a land of orderly glass and steel.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 17, 2016
@AardvarkBlue I worked it out as law = science because science gives definitive answers, or at least tries to. Magic changes.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 17, 2016
@AardvarkBlue Similar here, tho I add one layer – magic is personal (what I learn might not match you), where science aims for universality
