Was chatting with @JeremyECrawford yesterday that spells that swap energy type need more than that. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/8GcofMlKCN

@JeremyECrawford Can a hidden creature attack an unsuspecting target before combat begins?

Outside combat, you roll initiative if you declare an attack against a foe. You then take action on your turn. #DnD https://t.co/HJjBaKm2Ok

@imnotasnowflake @CKCamelliaif a creature is surprised, they don’t get an action though, correct? A surprised creature wastes its turn being surprised, since it can't take an action.

There is a fan-made 5e conversion of Madness at Gardmore Abbey: https://t.co/ZmWjaV3htA It’s a great #DnD adventure.

If you want to know more about Madness at Gardmore Abbey adventure check here: Madness at Gardmore Abbey

“A thrilling heroic-tier adventure for characters of levels 6-8.

This deluxe adventure takes heroes into the ruins of Gardmore Abbey, a monastery that was once the base of a militant order of paladins devoted to Bahamut. According to legend, the paladins brought a dark artifact back from a far crusade and stored it in their abbey for safekeeping, and evil forces gathered to assault the abbey and take it back. What the legends don’t tell is that this artifact was actually the Deck of Many Things, a force of pure Chaos.

This adventure brings characters into the extensive dungeons beneath the ruins – dungeons that are warped and twisted with the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the cards of the deck.”

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How importantly are magical items to PCs early on in 5e. Does the system expect them to have items by level 4?

The system doesn't expect characters to have magic items. If they have them, great. If not, great. https://t.co/Q2Tix8YrqG

@JeremyECrawford Can spells such as Dimension Door be cast using a higher spell slot than their original spell level?

— Spencer (@206Siro) November 12, 2015

Any spell can be cast with a spell slot of its level or higher. See "Spell Slots" on p. 201 of the PH. #DnD https://t.co/1MzNbZeaCs

@DnDPaladinquestion : when something set base AC, like mage armor… does it affect the modifiers too or can we still add modifiers ? why ?
effect should specify if your AC becomes a set number, a set number + modifiers, or a modifier added to your AC

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 1, 2015

@DnDPaladin think of mage armor as creating a suit of light armor with a base AC of 13, + mods

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 1, 2015

@mikemearls also, why create monsters that can hit with like +15 if nobody can have more then 20 AC ? seriously, AC is weird in this edition

— Luc Charette (@DnDPaladin) December 1, 2015

@mikemearls ok… its not making any sense to me… then why say unarmored defense cant stack if the formula was already not stacking ?

— Luc Charette (@DnDPaladin) December 1, 2015

@DnDPaladin for instance, Mage Armor specifies 13 + your Dexterity modifier. That's your base. Modifiers would then go on top.
