@richardprattDo you have concern w/ players buying 16 in ability (11 cost) IF not increased by race afterwards? Problematic? should be fine – any specific concern you have? bonuses should shore up other areas

@mikemearls PH caps buys at 15, certain class/races can get 16/17max. Wanted to give other cl/ra combos a chance at +3mod, but grp worried.

@richardprattGroup thought current setup was initial to prevent wizard/dwarf like combos from being too common/powerful. forgot that limit – it's to curb 18s, so it's ok w/o bonus

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hey, quick question. Would height offer advantage on a ranged attack in 5e?

— Brendan (@DoctorGalactic) November 6, 2015

I would say no. https://t.co/Cfv9OoNysR

@danielceagleDoes moving away without Disengage provoke an OppyAttk if the one who is moving away is Hidden from adjacent creatures ??? no, does not provoke. attacker must be aware of target

@mahalivesIs Wild Shaped Druid immune to Charm Person, Hold Person etc. that target humanoids? yes

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 18, 2015

@mahalives Thanks–if Druid under Charm Person goes Wild Shape, does effect end?
believe no – restricts targeting, not ongoing effect

@b_coulthardThx Mike, limited space on Twitter. But, how would you handle surprise if a 3rd grp ambushed 2 groups already fighting together. 3rd group is hidden, gains advantage and related benefits, but does not actually gain surprise by mechanical definition

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 2, 2015

@b_coulthard more precisely, 3rd group rolls initiative, inserted into combat order, starts out hidden

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) December 2, 2015

@b_coulthardThx for your reply. This mechanic feels wrong to me as a long time DM. Why not allow surprise, ambushers lose valuable options? surprise applies to someone not currently engaged in a fight – otherwise, any instance of hiding would trigger it

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Are attacks allowed outside of initiative combat? Is initiative rolled before or after an attack is declared? Forum debate.

— Steven (@welshstevenc1) December 2, 2015

The PH states that initiative is rolled "when combat starts," which I take to mean before any attack is resolved. https://t.co/OnLiYeMMCC

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) December 2, 2015

@ChrisPerkinsDnD The temptation is extremely strong to resolve the attack when, during a heated non-combat moment, someone hits someone.

Rules interpretations aside, the DM can do whatever he or she thinks is right and good for the game. https://t.co/87r1l0VfbT

@BobbyBarbarianWith the new errata would paladin auras no longer stack? That's correct.
