@eerongaldoes a shapeshifted monk/druid benefit from increased damage die from monk? nope – not unless the attack is specifically an unarmed strike, as opposed to a claw or bite

@rwallace8665 Help me settle a disagreement: can a human warlock summon a Dao’s maul or a Storm Giant’s greatsword as their pact weapon? i'd say no, or at the very least the warlock couldn't effectively wield it.

@rwallace8665Can you settle an argument for me? Can a human warlock use a Dao’s maul or Storm Giant’s Greatsword as a pact weapon? I would say that they could use a maul or a greatsword, but there's no "storm giant greatsword" to choose from in the game.

@rwallace8665 The feature specifically points you toward Chapter 5, indicating that the warlock chooses from the weapons normally available.

@rwallace8665 Additionally, those are both intended for larger creatures (& are unwieldy for a normal PC) & have no stats of their own.

@UMPIBikerMaMaCould a “High” Elf fighter with a criminal background use “mage hand” with their tools and skills? #dnd #dnd5e I'd allow it – I'd probably have it take a little longer to complete an action, maybe two actions for things that take 1

@SKretsingerIn two-weapon fighting, does it matter if the action or bonus action come first. Is the bonus action always with the off-hand? you can swap them around – don't think it affects anything

@Lord_SicariousWhat are your thoughts on converting Humanoids from the Monster Manual to PC races? I was thinking Half-Ogres. in general, don’t let a new race break the 20 cap on stats. I’d go size Large, +4 Str, -2 int -2 wis

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 4, 2014

@Lord_Sicarious size Large is really good for the weapon dmg boost, but a DM can keep a handle on it

@Lord_Sicarious works best if 1/2 ogre is only melee/weapon focused PC. Risks overshadowing other warrior-type PCs

@jeffstrainHola from SF. If I use Ready to make an attack with a reaction, can I also take an associated bonus action e.g. Flury of Blows? technically no, but in most cases it’s OK. As DM I’d adjudicate it on a per case basis. Some combos can be bogus.
