@imnotasnowflakeWhy does the internet think casting identify consumes a pearl? It doesn’t say that anywhere.
There might be confusion because of how it worked in previous editions. The pearl isn't consumed in #dnd5e.

Ally’s space is difficult terrain
.@JeremyECrawford based on the phrase, "space of…creature is always difficult terrain" does it mean an ally's space should be difficult?
— B Lynn (@DaddyDM) August 31, 2015
Yes, an ally's space is difficult terrain for you. https://t.co/w778HWq1TM

How to recover lost intelligence
@JeremyECrawford Is there an intended way to get lost Intelligence back after an intellect devourer zeroes it? The MM doesn't say how.
— Dan Dillon (@ReubenFontana) September 2, 2015
The greater restoration spell can remove the reduction to an ability score. https://t.co/magCkIa47w

Is the Death option designed for characters?
@imnotasnowflakeis the Death option designed for player characters in any way? The Death Domain is fine for a player character to use if the DM says yes. @_FoxyBoxes_ @mikemearls
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 30, 2015
@imnotasnowflakeI understand that. That wasn’t the question I asked.
It is designed for both NPCs and PCs. @_FoxyBoxes_ @mikemearls

Level up increasing ability and Magic Item that rise ability score
@jakejnelsonWhat happens if you level up and put a point in an ability score while wearing an item which sets that score to 19? The answer depends on the specific item you're wearing.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 30, 2015
@jakejnelson If you increase your Intelligence to 19 or higher while wearing a headband of intellect, the item ceases to affect you.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 30, 2015
@JeremyECrawford But if I have the headband on, and I put a point in Intelligence, does it go to 20 or stay at 19?
— Jake Nelson (@jakejnelson) August 30, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Assuming it's normally lower than 19.
— Jake Nelson (@jakejnelson) August 30, 2015
@jakejnelson The headband has no effect on the score on your character sheet. The item effectively overwrites a score lower than 19.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 30, 2015
@jakejnelsonSo the score would become 20?
The ability increase ignores the headband. It is increasing the score on your character sheet.

Spell with longer Casting Time
@JeremyECrawford If a spell has a longer casting time, do you have to complete its time requirement in order to successfully cast the spell
— Samual Engler (@BiiigSam) August 28, 2015
See the "Longer Casting Times" section of the Player's Handbook (p. 202) for how such casting times work. https://t.co/3aVpF5oz1c

First time DM
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Thursday will be my first time as DM. Your seamless story-weaving and all around grooviness is an inspiration to me.
— Teresa Markos (@teresamarkos) September 2, 2015
Let me know how it goes! https://t.co/WKHZ5SpA2f
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) September 2, 2015
@ChrisPerkinsDnD I was nervous, talked too fast, ran out of my adventure early and had to make up the rest on the spot. It was great!
