@DanSingsAndHits Hey there Chief. Totally in favour of most of the numbers in 5th Edition, but wondering – don’t spell saves seem a bit low?Do you mean spell save DCs? I want to make sure I understand the question before I answer.

@DanSingsAndHits Yes. Spell save DCs are where we want them. That said, we keep our eyes open for anything in the game that might be awry.

@PeterHoolihansorry to ask, but do you get crit-hits on spells that use and attack rather than a DC? Also awesome job on the PHB A spell attack can definitely score a critical hit. And I'm glad you like the book!

@DastionIf a Warlock forgoes an attack to let his Pact of the Chain familiar attack does it occur immediately or on it’s next turn? I would rule that the warlock commands the familiar to attack, and then the familiar does so on its turn.

Uncanny Dodge can halve the damage of attacks from any source, including spells. https://t.co/SoYTMbbPpB

@DMGardinerdoes that include being caught in a spell aoe not targetted on the player,e.g.fireball. I thought that would be evasion(l7) Uncanny Dodge is no help against a spell like fireball, since the spell doesn’t include an attack.

@Dastion For the Warlock Old One Pact Telepathy power. Is it one way or two way communication? I read it as one, but others don’t. The intent is for it to be one-way communication, but a DM could certainly rule that it's two-way telepathy, as in monsters.

@DastionThanks. As you might have realized, my group of friends does a lot of rules discussion (it stays friendly 🙂 ) I'm glad to hear the rules discussions are friendly! My feeling is that rules should be sidelined if they're souring the mood.

@DastionWe’re adventure league DMs for our local store (50 players), so we want a good working knowledge of rules issues/solutions. That's awesome that you have so many players!

@Sir_Doog Question! Does the Wizard’s Potent Cantrip feature apply to cantrips with attack rolls or only to saves? Potent Cantrip affects only cantrips that require a save, such as acid splash and poison spray.

@PlaguescarredI notice people have different interpretation, does polearm increase reach always or only when attacking with it? The reach property applies only when you attack with a weapon. Any use beyond that is up to the DM.

Before you read this answer my advice is to read Dungeon Master’s Guide errata here https://media.wizards.com/2021/dnd/downloads/DMG-Errata.pdf Chapter 8
@KrisKoletar @JeremyECrawfordIf I’m standing right next to 4 Paladins, is anything stopping their auras of protection from stacking?
identical effects don’t stack

@mikemearls @KrisKoletar Identical spells don’t stack (PH, 205), but nothing stops the auras from stacking. Could always house rule it.
