@TheDevilOnLineDM question: If a player meets a wild wolf and tries to calm it, would you say that’s a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check? 1/2 I would allow that use of the Animal Handling skill, but taming a wild wolf would be difficult and time-consuming.

Paladin got an Attack of Opportunity and wanted to blast with a Smite? I said it’s a reaction and it only one melee attack
@JeremyECrawford hello!! Question: my friend was playing a paladin. He got a attack of opportunity and wanted to blast it with a smite? I said it’s a reaction and it only one melee attack. Not sure on the ruling. We let it go cause it was a cool part in the story.

The paladin's Divine Smite feature isn't limited to the paladin's turn. Its prerequisite is hitting a creature with a melee weapon attack. #DnD https://t.co/E3b49ZLXco

Would an Artificer’s steel defender stop working if it stepped in antimagic field?

An artificer's steel defender isn't a spell, a magic item, or an effect labeled as magical by a rule. It is therefore not affected by the antimagic field spell. #DnD https://t.co/35z6arRwmO

Conceptually yes, an antimagic field should suppress whatever magic power is animating any magical construct. 5e's rules on what is considered magical are entirely arbitrary and oftentimes nonsensical.

In D&D, some things are created/altered by magic but then endure without it. Your wound closes thanks to a spell, but thereafter the wound stays closed on its own and can’t be dispelled. Similarly, magic can turn a corpse into a zombie, which then needs no magic to endure. #DnD https://t.co/F2xTYITwj4

Why is concentration based off of a physical stat and not a mental one?
@TJPalenWhy is concentration based off of a physical stat and not a mental one? Who does sit ups to prepare to read a long book? Normally, you make a Con. save when you get hurt while concentrating on a spell. The save represents an attempt to endure the pain.

The only spell that blocks Raise Dead/Resurrection is Imprisonment, right?
@jay_jaydraperThe only spell that blocks Raise Dead/Resurrection is Imprisonment, right? Disintegrate, and spells like it, can block those two spells by leaving no body to raise. But see true resurrection and wish.

Immunity to bludgeoning: does take damage from falling?
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford A monster is immune to damage from nonmagical bludgeoning weapons. Does he still take damage from falling?
— Max Ximenez (@maxximenez) August 17, 2015
Yep, that monster is still going to feel the hurt of a fall. https://t.co/fOhRS9ZkQk

Warding Bond spell: if target and cleric has resistance, is damage halved twice or only once?
@PlaguescarredQ bout Warding Bond spell if target and cleric has resistance, is damage halved twice or only once? Resistance is applied only once to any instance of damage. See the Player's Handbook, page 197.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 24, 2014
@PlaguescarredThanks. Warding Bond is 1 or 2 instance of damage though? Doesn’t each one takes seperate damage? Ah, I misunderstood your original question. If the cleric has resistance, nothing in the rules says it doesn't work.

Does it count as the action it is, for example a bonus action to do a dash action or attack action?
@OmegaStrike78does it count as the action it is, for example a bonus action to do a dash action or attack action? If you take the Dash action as a bonus action (as the rogue can), then you have indeed taken the Dash action.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 25, 2014
@JeremyECrawford How about with two weapon fighting with two light weapons, when you use a bonus action to attack with the off hand?
— Alphastrike (@OmegaStrike78) November 25, 2014
@OmegaStrike78Does that count as an attack action? The bonus action in two-weapon fighting is its own thing, taken after the Attack action.
