@JdeFalconrSage Advice: Ready action effectively lets you change init order by “scheduling” action out-of-turn. No diff than delay
Ready has constraints: relies on reaction, initiative is unchanged, trigger may not occur & only part of your turn occurs later.

Adding an owlbear to your world
@DMs_Block @ChrisPerkinsDnD so how much analysis do you do when adding something to your world to use? Do owlbears ever make sense? 🎲
— Chris Colwell (@GMcrates) August 18, 2015
Very little. I use owlbears because they’re fun and sometimes scary, not because they make any real-world sense. https://t.co/7K6jN53x6V

Hootius Maximus—that's the name of the owlbear gladiator from my home campaign a few years ago. Deliciously absurd. https://t.co/A05E9YOmUP

Can potions be administered to unconscious characters?
@JeremyECrawford Can potions be administered to unconscious characters as an action? Aspirating being the issue.
— Imathil Half-Elven (@imathil) August 19, 2015
Yes, you can administer a potion to someone else as an action (DMG, 139). https://t.co/krrZv05Xw1

Melee spell attack and Melee Attack
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Does a "melee spell attack" count as a "melee attack" for Touch of Death (i.e. Spiritual Weapon)?
— Kris Koletar (@KrisKoletar) August 17, 2015
A melee spell attack is, indeed, a melee attack and can qualify for the Death cleric's Touch of Death feature. https://t.co/0UtjIZ58Uh

PC with insurance
@ChrisPerkinsDnD how would you adjudicate a player that wants to setup not only a medical practice but insurance company in game?
— Asa Allen (@allenasa78) August 13, 2015
I would give the player a bunch of tax forms to fill out. Clearly that's the sort of adventure he or she craves. https://t.co/2X4mqPLpi7

Can Druid in Elemental shape cast spells?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Q2: You said druids in elemental form can speak. Can they cast spells? Use a focus? Somatic?
— William Boldt (@william_boldt) August 19, 2015
@william_boldt @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford nope, no spellcasting
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 20, 2015
A druid can cast spells in a Wild Shape form upon gaining Beast Spells at 18th level. https://t.co/77IEZbjSNb

5e Artificier idea
@KrisKoletar @JeremyECrawfordAwesome idea: 5e Artificer = 3.5e Incarnate with the serial numbers filed off. Replace chakra with attunement
intriguing! Haven't thought about playing with attunement as more than a housekeeping mechanic.
