Can I multiclass into same class?
By the rules can I multiclass into same class i.e. rogue/rogue for different archetypes? If no, is it too much to allow it?
Multiclassing is designed solely for taking different classes. https://t.co/R0Q7GSO9gd

Could Minor Illusion create a fog cloud?
@JeremyECrawford Could minor illusion create a fog cloud? If so, would shooting an arrow thru it cancel the illusion? Thanks! Love #DnD !

@Plaguescarred @mikemearlsStaff of Defense let you cast shield as a action but shield is a reaction Typo or deliberate tradeof? That staff does, indeed, let you cast shield as an action. A DM could also allow casting the spell as a reaction.

@andy_striemerwhy invoke intent with polearm master but not on previous answer-Crossbow Expert 2nd bullet applying to not just crossbows? Crossbow Expert works as intended.
