@JeremyECrawford
Thank you for your hard work. I just happened to learn you kindly answer to players question on D&D 5e rules, so i am here to ask you mine; i don't know if you already answered this question in the past, i apologize if it's the case.I don’t even know how to tweet properly,
so i do a screenshot… Shame on me. I
can be a high level mage, this doesn’t
mean i am proficient in Twitter…
Let’s come to the topic (it’s a thought,
more than a question):
I noticed attack cantrips evolve, otnher
cantrips don’t. I understand that a higher
level mage (or other classes) has MORE
cantrips, but a 20 level mage minor
illusion is the same of a first level
newbie. Fire bolt grows in power,
message doesn’t allow comunication at
a longer distance. Shocking grasp is
more dangerous level to level, while
mending is the same in every single
trait.
Some feats give possibilities to learn
other cantrips, but only attack ones
“evolve”.
I think it could be developed in a little
more “fair” way, enhancing some traits
of the other cantrips too.
Thank you for your attention.

Most non-damaging cantrips are just as good at level 20 as they are at level 1, whereas a damaging cantrip would become obsolete if it didn't increase in power. That's why damaging cantrips get better. #DnD https://t.co/LsiIB6VrHZ

To be fair, “just as good” doesn’t mean “just as comparable impressive.” Makes sense that a 20th level Mage Hand could lift more than a 1st level mage hand; utility wise might be fine, but narrative wise could be questionable. The damage increase isn't meant to make the damaging cantrips more impressive. It keeps them relevant. Maintaining relevance is the design goal for cantrips. Want to lift more than mage hand can lift? Use telekinesis.

Can Aasimar take human feats or are they just let out of racial feats all together?
— Heath Dawson (@HeathDawson) January 5, 2018
An aasimar isn't a human. One race doesn't qualify for features that require another race unless the rules say otherwise. #DnD https://t.co/ibAXR45Gb6

@JeremyECrawford @SageAdviceDnD would a half drow using the rules from sword coast adventurers guide be able to take the drow high magic feat from xanathars guide?
— Kyle Hamm (@Namshiel1989) January 4, 2018
The racial feats in Xanathar's Guide say which races qualify for them. Half-elves, for example, can take the two feats that include half-elf as a prerequisite. The SCAG's half-elf variant doesn't change how that works. #DnD https://t.co/o0ahUUAoKr
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 5, 2018
That being said, I don’t think this answered the original question. Mainly, is the half-drow able to take that dow feat? Even using the SCAG variant, a half-elf who is part drow and part human is still a half-elf, not an elf (drow) or a human.

#DND fam – Arcane Archer; Curving Shot in Xanathars: Can be used every round for the cost of a bonus action cause all arrows fired from L or S Bow can be considered magical by 7th level? y/n? Yes.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I want to mod a dragon to cast spells. If I let him do it as a legendary action, is that likely to change the CR?
— James Geluso (@atlemar) January 21, 2016
Adding a spell that significantly improves the dragon's damage output or defenses could affect its CR. https://t.co/90nwVaFOsv
