@archaeonagawhat can the Beast Master’s animal companion do if the Ranger falls to 0 HP? Is it limited only to movement? I'd let it protect and aid ranger

Can a Eldritch Knight with bow take a hand off it as a free action to cast a spell, then attack w/ bow?
@ChameleonX4dCan a Fighter (EK) w/ bow take a hand off it as a free action to cast a spell, then attack w/ bow (War Magic)? sure – in general, handling of objects is a DM tool to counter any abuses by players

Does a +1 staff confer its bonus to spell attacks if used as a focus?
@DMonAroll @JeremyECrawford does a +1 staff confer its bonus to spell attacks if used as a focus? no, but doesn't break anything if you allow it

Combat mount
@MPaytashIf any character can have mounts/animal companions that can attack, then doesn’t this lessen the value of the beastmaster path? most mounts you can buy lack attacks

Sorcerer slot
@JacobWNoormanWhen a Sorcerer spends 2 Sorcerer points to generate a spell slot, is that slot then permanent? If not, when does it “go away”? long rest

Instant slot
@ReubenFontana @JeremyECrawfordWhen a spellcaster gains a level, and thus access to new spell slots, are those slots immediately available? I'd rule yes

Psionic alternative
@DrOctPsionics…thoughts? I need to know. For a friend. Who lives on Athas. been thinking about it – key to me is making effects unique v. magic, rather than duplicating existing spells
