@dmdavidblog @JeremyECrawfordWhy does a 5e fireball do 8d6 vs 6d6? Because monsters have more hp? To offset lack of caster-level boost? it was 6d6 for a while, but that was a little too weak as everything fell into place. easy to boost one spell

UA Ranger – How does Primeval Awareness function?
@LordCyler @mikemearlsDoes the UA Ranger variant gain Spellcasting? If not, how does Primeval Awareness function? As written, the Sept. 9 ranger variant, unfortunately, has no way of using its Primeval Awareness feature.

@JeremyECrawford Do wizards need 24 consecutive hours to write a spell in the spellbook?

See the "Your Spellbook" sidebar in the PH for information on copying spells into a spellbook. #DnD https://t.co/PJZYO5LrtE

How to balance a high-magic 5e campaign
@ChrisPerkinsDnD how would you try to balance a high-magic 5e campaign, as its gauged for fewer magic items?
— Cody (@MrYody) November 19, 2015
I wouldn't do anything at first. See how things play out before making any fundamental changes. https://t.co/KKLC1JH5NA

Do I need proficiency to Help?
@ArsenixShirogonI have a DM that says you need proficiency in a skill to help with skill checks but I can’t find the rule. Can you point it out? nope, don't think that's the rule.
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 8, 2015
@ArsenixShirogon I don’t mind the house rule but he insists it’s RAW. What page number is helping on ability checks on so I can double check it? PHB page 192, under the Help header
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 8, 2015
@Dvergr76 @ArsenixShirogonPHB p 175, “a character who lacks that proficiency can’t help another character in that task.” applies only if check *requires* proficiency
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 14, 2015
@mikemearls @ArsenixShirogon yeah, I mentioned tools. I imagine if you didn't know how to use a tool you couldn't help with a task.

Bonus Action after a shove
@JeremyECrawford If you used an attack to shove a creature prone, would you allow a bonus offhand attack then with adv & still w/in 5ft?
— Laduger (@Laduger) December 8, 2015
When I DM, the bonus action is purely the domain of game features that allow it. I like to avoid action bloat. #DnD https://t.co/PnB7lVFBD4
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 11, 2015
@JeremyECrawford @DnD_AdvLeague @Laduger like the Shield Master feat, to shove with the shield up to feet away? Plus Extra Attack feature?
— genghis galahad (@genghisgalahad2) December 11, 2015
You have a bonus action to take only if a feature gives you one. Shield Master gives one. Extra Attack doesn't. #DnD https://t.co/jVuymzUMuV

May start with N1 and follow with U1-3?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Planning a campaign composed of classic D&D modules. May start with N1 and follow with U1-3. Or something else. Suggestion?
— Mattias Karlsson (@tissekarlsson) December 11, 2015
Good choices! Follow your heart. UK4, When a Star Falls, is one of my low-level favorites. https://t.co/Z0WiEUHH3a
