@CraigHaasis A beholder's eye rays don't involve attack rolls. Like many spells, they require saves. @ChrisPerkinsDnD @wotc_rodney

Gnoll Monk
@ChrisPerkinsDnD thoughts on a houseruled Gnoll/monk based on the MM gnoll? Player has a great character concept I'd love to see workout.

Keep the gnoll's Rampage feature. Also: He/she needs a hat made from a human rib cage. https://t.co/UyTLlFWNzw

Does Counterspell work against a creature’s innate spell-like ability?
@GSLLC @JeremyECrawford#DnD #5e question: Does the spell, Counterspell, work against a creature’s innate spell-like ability? works against anything that is a spell. so, a creature that has an ability to cast fireball would be subject to it
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 25, 2015
@GSLLC @JeremyECrawfordBut Medusa’s gaze. “Magical” but not a spell, so can’t be counterspelled, right? Drow innate spell could be.
correct – ability must boil down to “creature casts X” where X is a spell

Sage Advice is on Facebook!
Heroes,
I’m glad to inform you that my library opens today on Facebook.

There you will find Questions&Answers from our favourites Dungeons&Dragons designers: Jeremy, Mike, Christopher, Rodney and more.
I will add some personal insights, nice pictures, top questions and I’ll try to answer you, but remember: I’m not a D&D designer, I’m just a librarian that collects and study designer answers and the three 5e tomes.
Your humble
