Do we add ability modifier to unarmed strike despite no damage roll?
@dpnorton Do we add ability modifier to unarmed strike despite no damage roll? What if the modifier is negative? #dnd #question Yes, you add your Str. mod. to the damage of a regular unarmed strike. If the modifier is negative, the strike deals no damage.

@JeremyECrawford @Wizards_DnD Does Bigby's Hand "grasping" feature hold grappled flying creatures in the air, or do they fall as soon as the grapple succeeds?
— John Lent (@johnnyblaise) March 17, 2020
If Bigby's hand is grappling a flying creature midair in D&D, that creature is being held aloft by the hand.
The rule on flight states that you fall if your speed drops to 0 unless you're being held aloft by magic. The Bigby's hand spell is magic, as are all spells. #DnD https://t.co/oI3nMf2w32

@JeremyECrawford #dnd question. If an artificer carries their Eldritch Cannon, and someone casts invisibility on the artificer, can the cannon become invisible – since "invisible" is a condition, and the cannon is immune to all conditions?

The D&D Invisibility spell turns you invisible, along with anything you're wearing/carrying.
If the spell is cast on you while you're carrying an Eldritch Cannon, the cannon is invisible while it's on your person, as your invisibility cloaks it. #DnD https://t.co/3moyLD4mW7

Will Oriental themes come into 5E? Looking forward to Dual Wielder katanas!
@jinghao22Will Oriental themes come into 5E? Looking forward to Dual Wielder katanas! Check out page 41 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, where we give suggestions for incorporating wuxia elements in #DnD.

@SlyFlourishDo dragon and Tarrasque claws count as magical weapons or does it have to be clearly identified like Tiamat’s stat block? A monster's stat block tells you if its weapon attacks are magical, as in the golems and angels in the MM.

RAI, with the Echo Knight, is it supposed to be susceptible to Fireball? How about Shatter? @matthewmercer @JeremyECrawford
I know how I am currently ruling for my game, but I wondered.— Wyrd GM (@WyrdGM) April 13, 2020
The fireball spell in D&D forces creatures to make a saving throw. The Echo Knight's echo is intentionally not a creature, so it doesn't make the save.
The shatter spell affects creatures and nonmagical objects. The echo is intentionally neither of those things. #DnD https://t.co/3jlUa7QAQt

@AseahawkfanInvoke Duplicity: Does it take your spell concentration slot? Or is it like a spell, but doesn’t count as casting one? If a feature says it requires concentration, as Invoke Duplicity does, you can't concentrate on it and a spell simultaneously.

@jaa0109Can a stunned enemy scream? Curious about Stunning Strike, push enemy out window, & yelling. A stunned creature can "speak only falteringly" (PH 292). I would allow a muted, short scream. @ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls
