@RChiesa07Could i Cast Tiny Hut in The middle of Ocean or it needs a floor? There are other spells and effects that specify this. #dnd5e needs a floor – spell specifies dome, rather than sphere.

@RChiesa07Can Tiny Hut be cast on the deck of a ship as it travels or it is latitude/longetude stationary? #DnD5e it would move with an object it is cast upon

"Does combat in D&D start with rolling initiative?"
Combat technically starts with the DM determining whether anyone is surprised.
See "Combat Step by Step" on page 189 of the Player's Handbook for the combat sequence. #DnD

If you start a D&D combat surprised, you can't take a reaction until the end of your first turn.
Initiative is rolled after surprise is determined.
If you're surprised, you can't take your reaction to use Cutting Words on an initiative roll. #DnD https://t.co/gRL0p3BSAV

Why? Since theres no suprised round, only a surprised condition, that doesnt make sense to me.
— Jesse lives in a failed state. (@GiveMeAnAxe) August 10, 2020
In D&D, surprise is determined before initiative is rolled because there are abilities, like the bard's Cutting Words, that can be used to affect initiative only if you're not surprised. #DnD https://t.co/d1BzWntwJZ

@JeremyECrawford does the use an object action include using the power of a magic item. Example, I have an item that can cast a spell.
— Justin Thompson (@JustinTdndplay) May 4, 2016
Magic items aren't activated with the Use an Object action (see DMG, 141). #DnD https://t.co/eWapgWmwrR

@JeremyECrawford thanks. What action is it to use magic items
— Justin Thompson (@JustinTdndplay) May 9, 2016
The action used to activate a magic item is ad hoc—just like the action used to activate most class features. #DnD https://t.co/J7FqO8Osdp

@SageAdviceDnD and @JeremyECrawford If a concentration spell specifies an effect "within range" and the caster moves, is the range measured from the point the spell was cast or the casters new position? e.g. Dancing Lights?
— Michael McGranaghan (@MackTheMike) August 12, 2020
The range of a D&D spell is measured from the spellcaster. For example, if a spell has a range of 120 feet, that means the spell's effect can originate up to 120 feet away from the spellcaster. See the spell's description for more details. #DnD https://t.co/58LTXSINM8
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 13, 2020
using Sorcerors Distant Spell, does it double the range of self based AoE spells if those spells then also say a specific range in the description? An example being Leomunds Tiny Hut. I would think it would, but some may argue that since its specified in the description it doesnt Distant Spell doesn't affect Leomund's Tiny Hut.https://t.co/EVNxcLnxiY
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 13, 2020
What about something like Cone of Cold then? Cone of Cold has a range of self. And it produces an area of effect. Range and area of effect are two different things in the rules.

So Gust of Wind would move with the caster?
— Sera, but D&D (@AvocadoArms) August 13, 2020
The Gust of Wind spell in D&D blasts wind from you, the spellcaster, for the spell's duration, even if you move. 🌬️ #DnD https://t.co/CeShG0WvlQ
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 13, 2020
P.S. The wind can blast from any part of you. #wotcstaff https://t.co/sqbukX6BA7
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 13, 2020
This would apply for Counterspell as well, right? Counterspell has a range of 60 feet, but the 60 feet is also part of the reaction trigger. So even if Counterspell’s range was increased due to Distant Spell, the caster would still need to be within 60 feet of the target caster?That's correct!
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 13, 2020
follow up question, why do some spells then say as a range “Self (15-foot radius)” and others say just “Self”. In this case comparing Spirit Guardians to Detect Magic. They both are ongoing effects that are an AoE based on where you are. That's an unintentional inconsistency. The "Self" part is the key detail.

@jaa0109 Is damage on Flame Strike accurate? Total 8d6, for a 5th level spell. Same as Fireball, a 3rd level spell. Yes, the damage of flame strike is correct. Fireball and lightning bolt are exceptionally formidable on purpose. @mikemearls

@JeremyECrawford Very Interesting. Guessing it is classed as transmutation like animal shapes spell. But does this mean it can be despelled?
