@GoblinMonk @RobinBergmark @JeremyECrawfordDoes cover affect saving throws? I might give a cover bonus if the caster rolled to hit. believe it gives a bonus to Dex saves #WOTCstaff

@Inxanity1 Do you think the 2e AD&D class XP charts could work in 5e? Might be interesting.
big issue would be class balance – 2e assumed balance by XP total, rather than level as 5e does #WOTCstaff

@ptr_mlrPHB 147 says: Improvised weapon that has *no* resemblance = 1d4 damage. Meaning: If resemblance given = full weapon type damage? believe yes

@hv1hj @ChrisPerkinsDnDDoes ine need the gold dust worth 25g to cast Arcane lock or is that out due to Arcane focus? Confuses me. you still need it

@Trogaf @ChrisPerkinsDnD @matthewmercer @mattcolvilleis dragon breath considered a magic attack? Essentially can it be counter spelled? nope!

@mikemearls I'm confused on if there is any relationship between heavy/light obscurement and Cover. Is someone with 3/4 cover (continued)

— Alex (@Paperclipkiller) August 21, 2016

@mikemearls@mikemearls obscured in any way? Like behind a thick tree trunk? Or are they not related at all? I'm wondering about this since a Rogue in my group is wondering how to actively Hide while in combat.

— Alex (@Paperclipkiller) August 21, 2016

@Paperclipkiller yes! No book with me, but I consider cover enough to hide behind, assuming rogue ducks, etc.

— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 22, 2016

@Paperclipkillerwould you consider 3/4 cover to be lightly obscured or heavily obscured? 1/2 is light and full is heavy but idk bout 3/4. heavily

— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 23, 2016

@mikemearls Alright thank you so much, I'll run it that way! The Rogue in my party will be super happy about that! Thanks again!

@TheGameAnalistsDo you think DnD5e will ever do another Boxed set besides the starter? With a bunch of maps and setting material? boxed sets are not too popular these days – we might, but it would have to be something that needs it #WOTCstaff
