@JeremyECrawford Is the intent of the Shadow Sorcerer to be able to cast Darkness by expending any spell slot, including first level ones, oronly with second level slots or higher?

The Eyes of the Dark feature doesn’t change the rule on spell slots. You must use a slot of the spell’s level or higher. #DnD https://t.co/UrMRhVOzzx

if I can’t use heavy weapons as kensei weapons, how am I supposed to have my cool Naginata (Glaive) monk?If naginata use is your priority, I recommend playing a fighter.

@JeremyECrawford Please answer! I'm tired of spamming this. If I have a Pegasus from Greater Find Steed then true polymorph it into a Silver Dragon Wyrmling, the wyrmling still has a lifelong bond and has a telepathic link, correct?

One spell doesn’t end another spell’s effects unless (a) one of them says it does or (b) a general rule says it does. For example, no rule says polymorphing your supernatural steed has any effect on your bond with it. #DnD https://t.co/70yFEyUDGi

According to this tweet https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/931621590730653696 … it would seem that the effects from Find Greater Steed are suppressed while the creature is not one of the possible forms. It’s still your steed. Polymorphing it doesn’t change its magical relationship to you.

If Polymorph suppresses charm, and replaces all game statistics, the statistics of the creature from a Greater Find Steed spell (including int, ability to speak, telepathic communication, etc.) should be suppressed. The bond between the paladin and the steed isn't one of the steed's game statistics.

Frankly, I was a bit surprised when you ruled that Polymorph would suppress the effect of Charm Person, since I didn’t think that a condition was a part of creature statistics and since Charm Person does not have any continuous check for creature type. To be clear, I haven't ruled that polymorph suppresses charm person. I said there's no rule and gave a rule of thumb (a house rule) you might want to use. There is no official ruling on this point.

Can a Mastermind Rogue use the Help action as both a normal Action & a Bonus Action in the same turn to assist 2 different PCs in combat?Yes.

Grimgates, Arlathan, (volo’s guide to BG2) and Spellhold (baldur’s gate 2 game) – same location, or nah? @TheEdVerse #dungeonsanddragons #ForgottenRealms No. Two different places. And I hid a few more of them in the vicinity that lore writers haven't noticed yet. ;}#Realmslore

You’ve kindly introduced a couple of Hethcanters via your Twitter replies. These are Lady Brunzarra Hethcanter, the second person to hold the office of Lady of Graces, and Ildra Hethcanter, matriarch of the Hethcanter farm in Immersea. 2/2
There's also Hethcanter, first to write of the Scalamagdrion, whom you introduced in Pages from the Mages III in Dragon #92.Was Brunzarra the holder of a unique title that died with her? Were the Hethcanters ennobled? Is she or Ildra related the mage Hethcanter?
Thanks!

Did he get the share in the late 15th century? Yes. He made a pile adventuring, didn't know where to park it, and hit upon the idea of buying out the aging, ailing smallest partner (Shaluta Drennan, a retired widow of a ship captain from Marsember) among the inn's owners.#Realmslore

Any chance of Elminster asking Tymora for a sliver of luck for the next Powerball drawing? Certainly, but beware: as the old Realms saying hath it, "Asking Lady Luck for luck can betimes backfire."#Realmslore

Opportunity attacks can only be made when a creature leaves an enemy’s reach with the exception of Polearm Master, correct? That feat is an example of an exception to the rule, yes.

So actions like: Use An Object, Drink A Potion, and a paladin’s Lay On Hands feature don’t provoke opportunity attacks from foes, right?That’s correct.
