“I love Dragonlance and I love Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Plain and simple. Their books are my favorite fantasy series of all time. I love the stories and ideas, but most of all, I love the characters. Why do we all feel like we know them? They are what spurred me to start working for D. and what inevitably inspired me to pursue a career in showrunning.” -JOE MANGANIELLO Thought I would share the jacket cover for the new DL book, published by Del Rey, August 2, 2022.

Do the cantrips from Pact of the Tome become Warlock spells and be based of CHA?
@JeremyECrawford Do the cantrips from Pact of the Tome become Warlock spells and be based of CHA?

Are Pact of the Tome cantrips considered warlock spells? See the Player's Handbook errata: https://t.co/vzc7twThef #DnD https://t.co/109cDFsdZJ

Is Magic Missile an ‘attack’?
@JeremyECrawford if I cast Magic Missile at a Hexed target, does it take an extra 1d6 necrotic, or 3d6 extra? or none, because Magic Missile is not an ‘attack’?
— Mavalanche (@aus_maverick) December 8, 2016
Magic missile isn’t an attack. #DnD https://t.co/i7veBQatmX
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverickyes it is, and rules lawyers are never welcome in my games. By rule, magic missile doesn’t involve an attack, but as DM, you’re empowered to ignore/change rules.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverick“casts Magic Missile at you, they are attacking. It does damage & isn’t friendly.” Again, you are welcome to ignore the rules. That is the prerogative of the DM.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverickAgain, I’m not ignoring the rules. Those aren’t the rules. Those are things written in 5e books. My tweets are about the official rules of 5E. Whatever rules you’re using, I hope you’re having fun.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@JeremyECrawford Hmm weird ruling. Caster causes damage to a target, so imo it is attack. The lack of attackroll doesn’t change that.
— Jan Verbruggen (@NowredEQ) December 8, 2016
Dealing damage doesn’t make something an attack. See “Making an Attack” (PH, 194) for what the rules consider to be an attack. #DnD https://t.co/nWWmc5z3w0
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@JeremyECrawford Are there any other spells that do damage to a target that you don’t consider an attack? Just curious.
— Jan Verbruggen (@NowredEQ) December 8, 2016
If a spell doesn’t involve an attack roll and no attack is mentioned in its text, the spell doesn’t include an attack. #DnD https://t.co/NZRXHINkJV
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@erifnevow @NowredEQAn effect can deal damage too. Lava doesn’t attack you, but it hurts you. Exactly.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@jaa0109Would Wall of Fire be a good example? Wall of fire does, indeed, lack an attack roll or any mention of an attack. It delivers damage via a saving throw.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
Fireball, lightning bolt, and wall of fire are examples of spells that deal damage (via a saving throw) and don’t involve an attack. #DnD

@StreamQuestsis an absolute inspiration how he keeps cool while some people insist on being aggressive and unreasonable. Much appreciated!

Rogue: can you use it to Dash if you have already used your action to Dash?
@craigwbowserRogue bonus action, can you use it to Dash if you have already used your action to Dash? So 3 moves per turn? Yes.

“roleplay amongst yourselves”
One of my favorite DMisms is saying “roleplay amongst yourselves” whenever I need to briefly step away from the table, regardless of whether we’re actively playing. Have to retrieve a mini? "Roleplay amongst yourselves."
Using the restroom? "Roleplay amongst yourselves."
Leaving a table at a restaurant? "Roleplay amongst yourselves."

Undermountain underlying guide
I had a lot of fun running a few sessions of Ruins of Undermountain in 5e. Went pretty well considering I’ve had a gap of two decades from DMing! Undermountain is such an amazing, expansive experience. A few weeks of dungeon crawling and who knows where to next? And so little of Undermountain could be squeezed into that box!
Underlying guide: creatures (including folk from Waterdeep) LIVE down there for years, so get food from X, leave their wastes in Y, do Z to earn coin [from who?], have planned escape routes and refuges.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 2, 2022

Do goblins have a word in their language for a “runt?”
Do goblins (hobgoblins specifically) have a word in their language for a “runt?”In the Realms, "kuhul" (pronounced "KUH-hull") is "weakling" in Goblin (in Orc, it's "krehl" [see Sons of Gruumsh, p16]).
"Born weak"/"puny" is "urkuhul."#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 20, 2021

Would allow Detect Magic a creature under the effects of invisibility spell?
doubt: first sentence on “detect magic” would allow a player to detect a creature under the effects of invisibility spell?
but the user would be able to pinpoint the direction? would he know that there is someone invisible?

Sensing a presence means you sense something is present, not its location. “Wait, magic is nearby . . .” #DnD https://t.co/b0CtQsUlk1

@vikke064 I would expect that the aura itself was “radiating” from the creature. So seeing the aura, but not the source. Check out the text of the spell. X must be visible to see its aura.
