Do the effects of the optional critical hit chart on DMG 272 carry over in wildshape or polymorph form? I'd say yes — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 7, 2017

magical items and spells can add a lot of flavor to any Dean B campaign so I talked to Chris Perkins about some of his favorites it has occurred to me recently that there are certain spells that I like from a story point of view because they encourage player creativity spells like they’re not […]

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is it possible to have your familiar use the verbal component to the spell, if you have one that can use human speech? — Solomon Pider (@Pedia_Index) March 13, 2017 Not in the rules as written, as far as I can tell. A game DM might allow a wizard to summon a parrot familiar […]
