@JeremyECrawford If an otyugh slams a creature and it fails its STR save it is stunned, stunned creatures automatically fail STR saves

Take a look at the recently released Monster Manual errata, which fixes this issue:

@JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD Water Elemental (pg 125 MM) last sentence reads "…make a DC 14 Strength and…" A DC 14 Strength what?
— Todd Clayton (@tclayton) January 4, 2016
It's a Strength check. The new printing of the MM reflects that fact, so we'll add it to the errata document. #DnD https://t.co/qL9ggKLxaP

@JeremyECrawford the Warlock familiar has all MM stats? (Imp/Quasit CR 1 Pseudodragon/Sprite CR 1/4) They attack with poison and all? #DnD5e
— Miguel A. Espinoza (@nahualrpg) August 28, 2015
Yes, the creatures listed in the warlock's Pact of the Chain feature have the stats in their stat blocks. https://t.co/HoahKiEG0i

@manofmysteryrmthe DMG custom monster rules confuse me. How do you calculate the offensive CR of an ability like gelatinous cube’s engulf it's more art than science, but as a rule of thumb I'd halve any future damage that can be avoided with a check or save
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 11, 2015
@manofmysteryrm for something like the cube, its final CR quite likely owes more to playtesting than applying offensive and defensive CR
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 11, 2015
@manofmysteryrmwhat do you mean by future damage? Ongoing effects like the engulf, or future as in how you calculate damage now on?
damage I might take because of something a critter did, but on my turn I have the chance to act to avoid it

@JeremyECrawford Quick: Stat block for a sheep?? #AskingForAWildSorcererFriend
— Bill Cavalier (@dungeonbastard) July 9, 2015
You could use the goat's stat block. Drop Str. to 10 (change attack accordingly), and ditch Charge and Sure-Footed. https://t.co/01gbKej4Bu

@dungeonbastardok, what about a sheep with a feather beard?
Having a feather beard is its own reward.

@JeremyECrawfordTrying to understand monster skill formula for creating new listings. Seems clear: attr bonus + prof (maybe expertise)….
However, Lich's arcana is Int + Prof… and then a mystery +6, for +18 total. Expertise would come to +19.
— Skaught Bowden (@skaughtbowden) July 9, 2015
@JeremyECrawford Is it intended some monsters have weird bonuses like this… or were liches intended to have expertise, and it's off by 1?
— Skaught Bowden (@skaughtbowden) July 9, 2015
Some monsters do have ad hoc modifiers. When making your own monster, applying such a modifier is not essential. https://t.co/XS854qWRYe

@JeremyECrawford Are natural weapons considered finesse weapons? A lot of them use dex for to-hit and damage, but I can't find a reference.
— Wiliam Kerney (@wkerney) June 5, 2015
No. A weapon has the finesse property only if its description says so, and using Dex. to hit doesn't equal finesse. https://t.co/8eZIyQnVKD

@Dvergr76 @ChrisPerkinsDnD Help. PC kills mummy lord, but not heart. Takes treasure. Is PC cursed when lord comes back to life? yes. I mean, no idea what rules say, but a curse is more fun
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 8, 2015
@Dvergr76 @ChrisPerkinsDnD MM says remove curse can work, but I’d imagine the items would be cursed so they’d have to kill heart to keep. sounds good – make 'me earn it!
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 8, 2015
I'd say yes. https://t.co/0HUMWMnQ8M
