How many bonus action in a round?
@JeremyECrawford how many bonus actions can be taken by one player in a round?
— Dave Clark (@bedirthan) August 12, 2015
A bonus action is "an additional action on your turn" & "you can take only one bonus action on your turn" (PH, 189). https://t.co/Yf2sSAEh8y

@bedirthani will complete my re-read of the PHB before my next edition of #AskCrawford
I hope you enjoy it! And don't sweat it if you miss something. I constantly have to look things up.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 12, 2015
@AndruCdoesn’t that wording imply it can be any action? Eg an Attack?
See the full rule on page 189 for how to use a bonus action. @bedirthan

Yus, I know what I’m doing Friday night. =) https://t.co/dN5Ba28q1J — Jon Robertson (@FotoGuy79) August 24, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD thanks for posting this. You aren’t listed as a panelist on guidebook for the sun 11:30. You will be signing after worlds? — Anthony (@Nexum7) August 24, 2015
I was left off the list of panelists because I’m strange and off-putting. https://t.co/uu0fdRHFyb — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 24, 2015
I’m also participating in a joint MAGIC/D&D world-building panel at PAX. That’s a first for us, BTW. Happy to sign books & badges afterward. — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 19, 2015
My “Art of the DM” panel at PAX will be very different from previous years. If you think you know all my DM secrets, think again! #bwahaha — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 18, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Howdy Chris! I can’t an answer posted anywhere… Is the 2015 Pax Prime AI game gonna be streamed on Twitch? — Jim Mortensen (@jimmortensen) August 18, 2015
I believe the answer is YES. https://t.co/nKkU2oW47y — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 18, 2015

Creating wand or magic Item
@gaaran00bDo you need anything other than knowledge of the spell to make a wand or magic item? Do Tinker Tools help at all?
i'd let tinker tools help – generally, you should know the spell or have access to someone who can cast it

Surprise on bonus action
@JeremyECrawford The rule on surprise addresses movement, actions, and reactions, but bonus actions aren't mentioned. Is this intentional?
— An Abrasive DM (@jackAbrasion) August 12, 2015
"Anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you from taking a bonus action" (PH, 189). https://t.co/kgCZxsQV6U
