@Mathew_ReutherIf my Temporary Hit Points are 10 and I take 30 damage from an attack, what is the DC of my Concentration Check? The DC is 15. When temporary hit points absorb damage for you, you're still taking damage, just not to your real hit points.

Lycanthrope damage immunity
@pukunui81Could really use your input re: lycanthrope damage immunity http://bit.ly/1pGGCTp Immunity to nonmagical weapons intentionally leaves the door open for a monster to take damage from falling, being crushed, etc.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 24, 2014
@pukunui81OK. Still seems a bit weird – monster can hit its head on a rock and get hurt but doesn’t if the rock is used as a weapon. That would have to be a mighty bump on the head to deal damage to a character, much less a lycanthrope.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 24, 2014
@pukunui81It still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that one can’t take bludgeoning damage from a club but can take it from a fall. A lycanthrope's immunity is a supernatural resilience against the attacks of regular mortals. It's not about the damage types.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 24, 2014
@pukunui81But why would they be resistant to mortals’ attacks but not forces of nature? It feels like it should be all or nothing. The material is modeling folklore. Curses and blessings in legend are often specific, not universal laws.

@pukunui81Fair enough, I suppose. Still, I wonder if it would’ve made more sense to give them regeneration rather than immunity. Regeneration has a different effect in world: many farmers could take out a werewolf with pitchforks. Not what we wanted.

@pukunui81OK. Just trying to get my head around it after a PC in my game became a wererat. I’ll have to just go with “It’s magic”. Yeah, I would emphasize that it's supernatural. It doesn't obey the physical laws of our world.

With Magic Stone can sneak attack be used with the sling?
@JeremyECrawford With Magic Stone can sneak attack be used with the sling even though the spell states that it is a ranged spell attack?
— Ken Young (@selectstriker2) September 26, 2015
As DM, I'd allow it to work, given how Sneak Attack and magic stone are worded. #DnD https://t.co/Zm4mkrsPcL
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 9, 2015
@selectstriker2OK, so if you throw the magic stone its a spell attack but if you use it with a sling then it is a ranged weapon? It's a spell attack you're making with a sling.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 9, 2015
@selectstriker2so it is a ranged spell attack that you make with a weapon. Seems odd that you can do that That's what the magic stone spell does—let you make a spell attack via a sling.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 9, 2015
@selectstriker2 would you get the same benefit by throwing the stone rather than using the sling? No, since you're not using a finesse or ranged weapon.

Is the Periapt of Wound Closure being an uncommon item an error?
@GarmelbonIs the Periapt of Wound Closure being an uncommon item an error? It’s awfully good for an uncommon item. It is a great item, but it's situational. If you never get dropped and rarely take short rests, the item is just handy insurance.

Does Discipline of Life works on Goodberry granting every goodberry additional HP?
@Plaguescarred @mikemearlsHola gents! Quick question, does Discipline of Life works on Goodberry granting every goodberry additional HP? I would allow it.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 10, 2014
@Plaguescarred @mikemearlsAnd could you eat more than one berry with the same action even if It says one berry and it nourrish you? The intent for the spell is only one berry per action.

Question about the Echo Knight, can you switch places with the echo if you are using the echo avatar feature?
@JeremyECrawford @matthewmercer question about the echo knight, can you switch places with the echo if you are using the echo avatar feature?
— Naif's quarantined clone (@megabeatz98) March 23, 2020
The intent is that you can't do anything with the Echo Knight's echo while using Echo Avatar, other than scout with it. The text stating that intent is mysteriously missing from the book. We'll fix it in a future printing! Sorry about the confusion. #DnD https://t.co/AZXJGZUYLw

Can you do a Sage Advice on dual wielding Hand Crossbows?
Can you do a Sage Advice on dual wielding Hand Crossbows? (ps if you say we can use ’em like automatic pistols, I quit. ;))
@corymacdonald I plan to talk about hand crossbows in Sage Advice, but I’ll say this now: a typical hand crossbow isn’t an automatic weapon.

What constitutes unnatural light obscurity? For example: campfire, forest fire, torch, wall of fog, web?
@Khanyoudigit1What constitutes unnatural light obscurity? For example: campfire, forest fire, torch, wall of fog, web? The primary example is the dim light created by most of the game's light sources: torches, lanterns, etc.
