@ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls ok to give heavy armor fighter who is swimming disadvantage on the STR (athletics) roll b/c of the armor? — Chris Harris (@CJ_Harris) January 24, 2016 If you want to make that a house rule, I'd suggest applying it to armory that grant disadvantage on stealth checks. https://t.co/83bqpl1IL3 — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January […]
@neologiker @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnDMonsters with Keen Hearing: What’s a fair distance to let them detect avg unstealthed party? I'd say 300 feet or so — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 2, 2016
@mikemearls Do Bladesingers actually sing/dance when they perform bladesong? Does that prevent stealth if using it? Does silence end it? — QuantumCat (@TheQuantumCat) December 28, 2015 I believe rules are silent on this, but I'd allow stealth. Picturing slow, tip-toe/ballet steps in my mind. https://t.co/gMFuwJmTp9 — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 28, 2015

@JeremyECrawford How would you recommend converting minor gear bonuses like padded boots that used to give +1 stealth? Adv seems too high? — Tyger Bryte (@Tyger_Bryte) October 24, 2015 A bonus that small in a nonmagical item is rarely worth converting. https://t.co/BTRMyqfGm8 — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 24, 2015
@JeremyECrawford 4 surprise doesnt gel. cube exmpl conflict w/ "If neither side tries to be stealthy, they automatically notice each other"? — Karly Marx (@KarlDotenswine) October 22, 2015 The gelatinous cube's Transparent trait makes the monster exceptionally surprising. #DnD https://t.co/NVGC9SBiaZ — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 22, 2015
@mattdomvilleWhat happens with a Surprise when PCs/enemies each have a creature that successfully hides? team A, B, and C, vs. 1, 2, and 3. A and 1 are hidden. They act while rest are surprised. Roll init as normal for order — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 19, 2015 @mattdomvilleSo, A and 1 are not surprised […]
