Planning to run Curse of Strahd for my group next month. What do I need to prepare, @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD ? Creepy dice? Fake blood?

Start working on your Eastern European accents. Candles and eerie music might be nice! https://t.co/bAnMBIsb76

@JeremyECrawford Does Booming Blade make noise and if it does, how much?
— J_Black (@J_Blackwell13) March 22, 2018
Booming blade does make noise. The spell's description says the target is surrounded by booming energy. The DM decides who can hear the booming. #DnD https://t.co/ubYx90XMQw

@JeremyECrawford what counts as a spell effect for resolving what can pass through a cube of force 's 4th face?
— Wonkey.Ps (@orgemcgee) March 22, 2018
A spell effect is an effect created by a spell. #DnD https://t.co/8vFKDHLqzL

@JeremyECrawford For Finger of Death: if the spell brings the target to 0hp and the target subsequently dies due to failed death saves, dies that count as FoD killing the target? Will it rise as a zombie?

A spell kills you if its damage or other effects slay you. If it reduces to you 0 hit points but leaves you alive, it didn't kill you. #DnD https://t.co/dwhtwSJFAM

@JeremyECrawford how much cover is needed to make a hide roll in combat? As a general rule.
— Travis Blueter (@TBlueter) February 4, 2018
The DM determines whether a creature is sufficiently obscured to successfully hide. And even if there is enough concealment, the DM might decide your attempts fail if you, for example, keep hiding behind the same pillar and your enemy watches you do it. #DnD https://t.co/LRokTZimzu

I thought it didn't matter if they know where you are as long as you're unseen and unheard? (Pulling from your podcast segment on stealth)
— Nathaniel Kreiman (@NKreim) February 4, 2018
Being unseen and unheard is all that is required to be hidden. However, the DM can apply advantage/disadvantage to Perception/Stealth as appropriate, given environmental circumstances and creatures' behavior. #DnD https://t.co/humvK01DKJ

Related, I've been allowing our arcane trickster to use minor illusion to create a 5ft cube crate, then hide inside the illusion. Is this considered a fair use of abilities?
I'll probably continue to allow it either way, since it's fun.
— Jeff (@ghandigun) February 4, 2018
Minor illusion can create an illusory object that is big enough for you to hide behind or within (assuming you're not Large+). However, if you're taller than 5 ft., you'll often have to be effectively prone if you're trying to attack from inside the illusion. #DnD https://t.co/Da2LlVje73

@DjRyyoMystic/Barbarian multiclass use disciplines that does not need concentration while raging? I'd say no – limitation on spellcasting should apply to psionics

@JeremyECrawford Does Witch Bolt end as soon as the target is out of range? Or does it end after their movement is complete?
— Nick Wester, P.I. (@WeHaveSnacks) February 4, 2016
Witch bolt ends the instant the target is outside the spell's range. #DnD https://t.co/gNszqP6DQX

@RobertPascuttin Hi Mike. Players are asking me why actual xp is given instead of adjusted xp. What was design purpose of this? it's kind of hacky – adjusted XP is there only for comparing difficulty. it's not "real" XP.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) February 17, 2016
@RobertPascuttinMaking me wonder what “xp” represents now. the system really shouldn't use XP as a measure – it muddies the issue of its meaning.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) February 17, 2016
@RobertPascuttinThanks for the reply! If adjusted xp says something is more difficult, shouldn’t players get more xp then? not necessarily – the system is trying to capture the inherent difficulty in fighting more than 1 foe
