@eightspancrowIs the “hateful undead spirit that empowers [a skeleton]” its corrupted soul from life, or some other dark energy entirely? it's a shard of power from the negative energy plane

@eightspancrowPursuant to that, would an Awaken Undead spell à la Libris Mortis from 3 still fit within 5’s lore? Was it the same shard in 3? not familiar with that spell off the top of my head, but it sounds like it would fit if I get the gist of it

@JeremyECrawford Ok, which one is right considering AOE and playing with a grid? like fireball 20 ft spread pic.twitter.com/JLxI1ni6ay

The intent is that a circular area of effect is circular whether or not you're playing on a grid. #DnD https://t.co/ejDE2CyLSV

More on circles and grids: if an AOE covers at least half a square, it affects the square (DMG, 251). #DnD https://t.co/ejDE2CyLSV

@AmphieussSo for 5th edition it would mean a fireball is circular instead of the old 3.5 way ? So left is right ? Yes, 5E circles are circular. Yet nothing is stopping a DM from turning circles into polygons if that works better for the group.

@Amphieuss @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD personally, I like the circle, give advantage on saves to anything in partial covered squares

@ChrisPerkinsDnD hey dude, any tips for a first time DM running Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle with new PCs? Hoping I can do it justice 😆😆😆

When the players pursue a course of action that might get the party killed, smile and ask them, “Are you sure?” https://t.co/HCHbskPsjW

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Highschooler DM aspiring to work at WOTC someday. Recommended course of action?

Get a college or university degree, study our games, and make a few connections at cons. Maybe move to Seattle. https://t.co/ADSqA9uci8

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm about to attain a General Business Management degree. Would the D&D sector of WotC have a use for me?

— Ryan Enright (@Ryan_Enright) October 28, 2015

That's probably a more useful degree than the ones I have. https://t.co/x8J3mXnzlo

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How about a degree in Bioarchaeology – I know where best to hide the bodies!

@ChrisPerkinsDnD What kind of degree would you recommend? I'm currently working on my English degree right now.

— Meme Machine (@the_dorito_king) October 28, 2015

Good choice. Whatever your degree, let it fuel your passion and creativity. https://t.co/4peVIdDxGF

@TadenRifCan a paladin cure ghoul fever by laying on hands on the victim ? Does ghoul fever still exist in 5e BTW, MM says nothing… I think we cut ghoul fever (don't have book on me), but I'd say that a paladin can cure it as a disease

#SageAdvice @JeremyECrawford Bard's Jack of All Trades & Champion Fighter's Remarkable Athlete features add to Concentration checks, right?

— B Lynn (@DaddyDM) November 4, 2015

Maintaining concentration involves a Con. save. Jack of All Trades & Remarkable Athlete don't help saves. #DnD https://t.co/c9n0vYHO1E
