@ScottManwell Hey Mike! If a priest missed their ATT roll with a Touch spell (say, inflict wounds) – does that blow the spell slot on a miss? don't have a PHB, but I think the spell is lost

@icehawke Q about resists. Tiefling gets fire resist. If the char gets another fire resist effect do they stack for 1/4 or something else? nope, they do not stack

@ReubenFontanaMany effects key off being “within 5 feet” such as disadvantage on ranged attacks. Does having longer reach extend that? nope – an effect will either specify a distance or say your reach

@mikemearls Seems strange that an archer can back away from someone with 10 ft reach and fire with no penalty, but not from something with 5

@ReubenFontanaThanks so much for the clarification, by the way. Loving 5e so far. The spear and trident are identical as written, intentional? yes – trident has never been too popular, so we didn't want to make it complex to differentiate it.

@ReubenFontana it's the disadvantage of being big – longer reach, but less finesse

@ArandmoorCould you go through a simple combat and illustrate how wildshape works? Specifically using forms with more hp than the druid. It's pretty simple: while in the beast form of wild shape, you use that beast's hp. When that form runs out of hp, you revert.

@ArandmoorYou have 15hp, change into a form with 25hp, take 12 damage, then change back. How many HP do you have? 15.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 10, 2014

@ArandmoorWhat would have to happen for me to change back into druid form with less than max hp? At 20 it seems like this would be broken In the example you gave, if you have 15 hp, turn into a 25 hp beast, take 30 damage, you revert and have 10 hp.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 10, 2014

@Arandmoor The beast form absorbs 25 points of the damage, then 5 carries over to your normal form.

@Mynock74vampiric touch and a dagger in the other hand. Can player attack with both using dagger as a bonus action, or just the one act Vampiric touch isn't a weapon, so you can't use it with Two-Weapon Fighting, if that's what you mean.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 25, 2014

@rwallace8665 can a lvl 3 Beastmaster ranger make an off-hand attack as a bonus action if his pet uses Help? Do you mean, using Two-Weapon Fighting? No. You're not using your action to take the Attack action, so no TWF bonus action.

— Rodney Thompson (@wotc_rodney) September 11, 2014

@SatsumaOrangesMulticlass Rogue/Monk: He attacks with a spear. Technically not a finesse weapon, but a monk treats it like one. Sneak attack? it doesn't break anything, so I'd allow it.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) September 23, 2014

since Magic Missiles are conditionally auto-hit in 5e do you ever let Mages roll a d20 to attempt a Crit? Thanks! @TheSevenist Autohits but no crits on magic missiles in my game.
