Can Silence still be cast on an object or a creature? Spell description says “point”.
The silence spell cannot move with an object or creature. Meant to prevent a spell from outgunning Stealth checks. https://t.co/QUn6BMC3Nd

@thedenofsin Ever seen anyone use the silence spell as part of a sensory deprivation chamber?
can’t say I have, but might be just the the new fad Waterdeep is waiting for!

@DangerMcDHow does 5E massive damage death rule interact with wildshaped Druids? Does damage have to pass wildshape HP max or Druid HP max it would have to pass Druid max, IIRC. Apply damage, trigger transformation at 0 to Druid, continue to apply damage

@JeremyECrawford Can a Monk of the Shadow use the shadow cast by an object created with her minor illusion cantrip?
— Elodin (@TheElodin) January 12, 2016
An object created by minor illusion is only an image—no other sensory effects, including shadow. #DnD https://t.co/umCqqM7ug4

@erifnevow @TheElodinCan the shadow be created as a static part of the illusion to sell it better? The spell specifically says no sensory effects—other than the image—are included. Anything else is up to the DM.

@JeremyECrawford @TheElodin can the illusion be of a shadow?
— Trevor Holland (@imnotasnowflake) January 16, 2016
Minor illusion can be used to create an illusory object, like a chair. Anything beyond that is up to the DM. #DnD https://t.co/DivKEePfSU

Hail of Thorns only executes on the next, singular attack, right? Not every attack made until the duration expires?
Correct – next attack that hits triggers the spell's effect. https://t.co/4EUHoVLokb

@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD Players readying actions outside combat? My players often ready fireball "for when they see something hostile."
— Jonathan C. (@SpeedboatJones) January 24, 2016
Nice try. They can only use the Ready action in combat. https://t.co/IAoQBsIF2w
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 24, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD huh interesting
what if its a situation where they EXPECT to go into combat and want 2 be ready in case something happens
— See Me In D&D (@mAcChaos) January 24, 2016
Just because the players *say* their characters are ready doesn't mean they are. That's what initiative is for. https://t.co/Cskz59hlzw

Ready requires action and concentration – group would need to move slowly, any disturbance could lose spell. https://t.co/otwo7vUNe3

@ZarconistPreist @SpeedboatJones @ChrisPerkinsDnDWait If you ready a spell and dont use it isnt the slot lost? not 100% sure – not sure if that was clarified in later printings (got a 1st print here)

@mikemearls Suggestion spell: Can't ask some1 to directly hurt themselves, but if I say walk forward and there happens to be a lava pit…?
— The Salty DM (@TheSaltyDM) January 14, 2016
The creature would have to be unaware of the lava. It can avoid actions with obvious, dangerous results. https://t.co/VFPhAp1IDu

@mikemearls What if you also made a successful Persuasion check to convince the creature that you'd just given it immunity to fire?
— Dee Pennyway (@DPennyway) January 14, 2016
That's definitely a good strategy for using/abusing/having fun with suggestion. I approve! https://t.co/ltKXwLxkf6

@mikemearls Does Mage Armor count as armor for Unarmored Defense class features?
— Bryce Walton (@BryceWalton) January 16, 2016
You use one or the other – rule of thumb, anything that gives you complete formula for AC replaces rather than adds https://t.co/bubCuvAYrC

@ChrisPerkinsDnD need a ruling on this, crit with near max damage falls a foe, but player want to knock out rather than kill. Which happens?
— Lunchboxx1090 (@lunchboxx1990) January 17, 2016
Ultimately the DM's call, but the "Knocking a Creature Out" rule in the PH says the foe is knocked out. I concur. https://t.co/tyC5Pc8TbR
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 17, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD does a player need to declare they want to knock out an enemy before they roll the attack or just when they hit 0 HP?
— Matt Ferguson (@fatthewmergs) January 17, 2016
As per the PH, the player can call it after melee attack damage is rolled and the creature drops to 0 hit points. https://t.co/oAf6cz4CMd
