@mikemearls My whole group was arguing over this. If you "Hold Person" someone. Can you tie them up? or are their limbs locked in place?

You can tie them up. https://t.co/s6gqx9bkGb

@wstolliver @ZarconistPreistI always interpreted it like a mental stun, or hypnotic trance where they had no voluntary control.. same here

@JeremyECrawford Hold Person paralyzes, but no mention of falling prone in spell or condition- does this imply that H.P. para is rigid?

— Brail (@BrailSays) January 27, 2016

It is true that neither the hold person spell nor the paralyzed condition knocks you prone. #DnD https://t.co/70g84uuCH5

@BrailSaysAny official stance on whether being para leads to rigid limbs,ragdoll, or rigid-posable? No official stance.

@NicolaDegobbisIs it possibile copying a spell from another wizard’s spellbook? yes – but pay costs as normal for adding a spell

@JeremyECrawford can the monks ability "shadow step" be used in addition to the normal movement? Resulting in 90 feet and more movement.

— Frank Lindner (@Shoran2011) February 1, 2016

A monk's Shadow Step uses a bonus action, which is in addition to the monk's movement. #DnD https://t.co/JaG6XXD04M

@YYZhedIf I cast Heroism on a party member who is currently frightened, does it break the effect? I say so, DM unsure. as written, breaks the effect, though DM has final say

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) February 4, 2016

The heroism spell would suppress a frightening effect that was already on its target. #DnD https://t.co/bGJ1WtS3Tl

@JeremyECrawford Why are conjured animals and familiars fey spirits instead of just animals?

— C M (@corymacdonald) January 28, 2016

The spells are inspired by folklore, where spellcasters gain the service of spirits in the shape of beasts. #DnD https://t.co/MPpraFVg5t

@JeremyECrawford Can a Bladesong bypass the shield restriction by taking the War Caster feat?

— gene (@biggeno88) January 27, 2016

To use a shield with Bladesong, you would need a feature that explicitly removed the shield restriction. #DnD https://t.co/Ipu4UMK5Uc

@JeremyECrawford when casting a spell, do you add your Dex/Str mod to attack and damage?

— SargentFamily (@SargentFamily) February 4, 2016

You use your spellcasting ability modifier when you make an attack roll with a spell (PH, 194 & 205). #DnD https://t.co/xycM0Tfil9

@JeremyECrawford does the special shove prone attack count as an unarmed strike or improvised wpn for feats or features or proficiencies?

— Derek P. (@rderekp) February 1, 2016

The shove/grapple options (PH, 195) are not considered unarmed strikes or improvised weapons. #DnD https://t.co/CsfH1eKIS4
