@TELNETmonkWould the ‘Use Magic Device’ ability allow them to use scrolls? I can see it either way, so I thought I’d ask. The intent is that Use Magic Device does allow a rogue to try to use a scroll. @mikemearls

Action Surge+TwoWeaponFighting+Haste at 20th level how many attacks does this yield?
@ironwizard13 @gregbilsland sent me to you for a rule clarification Action Surge+TWF+Haste at 20th level how many att does this yield? A bunch of attacks! At level 20, Attack action + TWF = 5 attacks. Action surge = 4 attacks. Haste = 1 attack.

Does multiple instances of resistance become immunity?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls 2+ instances of resistance doesn’t become immunity correct? I.e 2 sources grant resistance to radiant dmg #dnd

“Multiple instances of resistance … that affect the same damage type count as only one instance” (PH, 197). #DnD https://t.co/cwkZky4KVF

Caster wielding two daggers is able to cast a spell requiring an S component?
@dpnorton Ranger wielding two daggers is able to cast a spell requiring an S component without having to sheathe either weapon first? The ranger would normally need to sheathe one of the daggers, unless the DM or a special ability says otherwise.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 16, 2014
@dpnorton Thanks! The focus/component/free hand distinctions are difficult to tease out, and have inspired much confusion. 🙂 The intent: you need a hand free for an S component, unless the spell has an M component and the component/focus is in hand.

Can Borngray move 15ft, Misty Step, multiattack, move 15ft away and use Shield spell if targeted?
Can Borngray move 15ft, misty step (bonus), multiattack (action), move 15ft away and use shield spell (reaction) if targeted?
@sn0wravenOr does using bonus action to cast misty only leave him the option of a cantrip with a cast time of 1? Casting a bonus action spell does preclude casting a reaction spell on the same turn.

If I cast Shillelagh on my quarterstaff and have Polearm Master, does the bonus attack deal d4 or d8?
If I cast Shillelagh on my quarterstaff and have Polearm Master feat, does the bonus attack deal d4 or d8?
@ArtificerAlf If I cast Shillelagh on my quarterstaff and have Polearm Master feat, does the bonus attack deal d4 or d8? The bonus attack would use a d4. I like it: druid master of polearms!

Sleep spell: sphere or cube Area of Effect?
@scottymac5e Sleep: sphere or cube AOE? It doesn’t specify shape in the PHB. Thanks in advance! "5e Sleep: sphere or cube AOE? It doesn’t specify shape in the PHB. Thanks in advance!"
It's functionally spherical.

Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster don’t use a spellbook
@AskanipsionI am in a dispute with my DM – I say that the Eldritch Knight & Arcane Trickster do NOT need to use a spellbook – correct? As written, the Eldritch Knight and the Arcane Trickster don't use a spellbook. They also don't prepare spells.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 25, 2014
@JeremyECrawford Trickster didn't say that , so Wizards who only study magic and spells need a book , but fighters and thieves do not.
— Lord Carelessfool (@Carelessfool) November 26, 2014
@Carelessfoolseems flawed, good thing I have free range as DM to do as I please ) A spellbook is a hallmark of a wizard, who accepts a limitation in exchange for supreme flexibility. But yes, customize away!
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 26, 2014
@JeremyECrawford and copies can be made. What I would like to have seen was ac change in time management. So spells could be interrupted.
— Lord Carelessfool (@Carelessfool) November 26, 2014
@CarelessfoolI liked how casting times and weapon speed was an option in 1st edition. I always like continuous time in segments. I had fun with casting times in 1E and 2E too. In 5E, maintaining concentration is often the trick for a wizard.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 26, 2014
@JeremyECrawford I had a debate with my players as to access to any spell listed in the PHB. I assume wizards do not give out spells free .

@JeremyECrawford in my campaign wizards hoarding knowledge is the norm. And do not like to share it … but the book says otherwise.
— Lord Carelessfool (@Carelessfool) November 26, 2014
@Carelessfoolin my campaign wizards hoarding knowledge is the norm. And do not like to share it … but the book says otherwise. You might like the training option in the new DMG. You could tweak it so that wizards get charged more to level up!
