@DaddyDMcan you attack a target with a whip, since it has reach, if you are on the opposite side of an ally? yes, but target might have cover

Giving a Spellbook to other classes
@BrailSays @JeremyECrawfordWhat dangers would there be in giving Spellbook feature to other classes,instead of prepany/know set number? biggest issue would be sorcerer – can outclass wiz if given same flexibility

Encounter Multiplier to the XP awarded
@_FoxyBoxes_ @JeremyECrawfordDo(/should) you apply the Encounter Multiplier to the XP awarded? If not it seems swarm battles award to little
no, award only their base value. the multiplier just captures the dangers of being outnumbered

@_FoxyBoxes_ @JeremyECrawfordso if I want to level a party up quicker, less numerous but greater threats are the way to go?
bingo

Improved Divine Smite
@TadenRifwith improved divine smite, does the additional damage also add to thrown melee weapons damage (unlike basic divine smite) ? no, but honestly adding smite damage to ranged weapon attacks isn't breaking anything. just don't add it to spells
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2015
@TadenRifyou mean, adding smite damage to range attacks made with melee weapons, I believe…
no, basically any weapon. Rules don't allow it, but iirc that's more flavor than balance at work.

UA Ranger – Does it still gain features like Colossus Slayer and Land’s Stride?
@jaa0109 @JeremyECrawfordThe Spell-Less ranger, does it still gain features like Colossus Slayer and Land’s Stride? no, IIRC
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 18, 2015
@jaa0109 @JeremyECrawfordAlso, how would Primeval Awareness work, assuming it’s still attached to the Ranger in this case?
assume the ranger can use it once per short rest, as if activated with a 5th level spell slot

Beast Master companion command
@meoka2368 @JeremyECrawfordBM gives command to “kill the goblins.” Still uses an action every turn, though the command hasn’t changed? i'd let it work, but RAW are more strict

Is there a way to block/hinder Mystics Conquering Mind ability?
@DeadOnToilet @JeremyECrawfordIs there a way to block/hinder Mystics Conquering Mind ability? ie.Mind Blank spell or Magic items? mind blank would work, as would anything else that specifically prevents mental control
