In this episode, R&D’s Mike Mearls discusses the creation of the fifth edition DMG—touching upon what aspects of past versions were considered, included, or revised; the importance of the playtest process to help shape the development; and criteria for what creatures and magic items made the cut.

Can you copy a spell from a scroll into your spellbook?
@pukunui81 @mikemearlsCan you copy a spell from a scroll into your spellbook? If yes, does that use up the scroll? #dnd5e Yes, and the scroll is destroyed.

@SeldenNeil @glricker44 @AnonVonZilch @JeremyECrawfordIn that earlier post, you said that ‘paladin’ is reduntant. Can you clarify please? that's right – my mistake. You can use any slot with it. Slots aren't tied to a class

Can multiattack be used to grapple, or does a monster need to forego all of its attacks to make the attempt?
@forrestfire15_ Can multiattack be used to grapple, or does a monster need to forego all of its attacks to make the attempt? multiattack usually specifies which attacks the creature must use. grapple can't be one of them unless listed.
