@nirvanstryderSpiritual Weapon says damage increases every 2 spell slot levels. Typo or is that correct? It's correct.

How do you deal with targetting stuff like Fireball, do you target between squares?
@JeremyECrawford How do you deal with targetting stuff like Fireball. Do you target between squares to hit full squares? (1)

Using a grid? See the "Using Miniatures" section in the DMG (p. 250). #DnD https://t.co/l5jBuATLRO

Can Twinned Spell target the same person twice?
@JeremyECrawford Hey, can twinned spell, target the same person twice?
— Josh Cohen (@ViktortheDog) February 7, 2017
If a rule, such as Twinned Spell, says you affect one creature and then a second creature, those are two different creatures. #DnD https://t.co/qC2gXmRWQd

Can you expand a superioty dice during a reaction attack?
@JeremyECrawford Can you expand a superioty dice during a reaction attack? (Attack of opportunity for instance)
— Loïc Lavoie (@loiclavoie) April 21, 2017
A maneuver, not the rule on superiority dice, tells you when you can use it (taking the Attack action, making a weapon attack, etc.). #DnD https://t.co/sTH1rJGOyc

Does knocking over a lamp count as an attack
@Kassuhday making a loud noise doesn't end the invisibility spell. Attacking does. Does knocking over a lamp count as an attack?
— The Inexperienced DM (@inexperienceddm) February 28, 2017
An attack involves an attack roll or doing something that the rules call an attack, like grappling or shoving. #DnD https://t.co/ccEfVUTaL1

Is Magic Missile an ‘attack’?
@JeremyECrawford if I cast Magic Missile at a Hexed target, does it take an extra 1d6 necrotic, or 3d6 extra? or none, because Magic Missile is not an ‘attack’?
— Mavalanche (@aus_maverick) December 8, 2016
Magic missile isn’t an attack. #DnD https://t.co/i7veBQatmX
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverickyes it is, and rules lawyers are never welcome in my games. By rule, magic missile doesn’t involve an attack, but as DM, you’re empowered to ignore/change rules.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverick“casts Magic Missile at you, they are attacking. It does damage & isn’t friendly.” Again, you are welcome to ignore the rules. That is the prerogative of the DM.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@El_Dodgero @DnDDomain @aus_maverickAgain, I’m not ignoring the rules. Those aren’t the rules. Those are things written in 5e books. My tweets are about the official rules of 5E. Whatever rules you’re using, I hope you’re having fun.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@JeremyECrawford Hmm weird ruling. Caster causes damage to a target, so imo it is attack. The lack of attackroll doesn’t change that.
— Jan Verbruggen (@NowredEQ) December 8, 2016
Dealing damage doesn’t make something an attack. See “Making an Attack” (PH, 194) for what the rules consider to be an attack. #DnD https://t.co/nWWmc5z3w0
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@JeremyECrawford Are there any other spells that do damage to a target that you don’t consider an attack? Just curious.
— Jan Verbruggen (@NowredEQ) December 8, 2016
If a spell doesn’t involve an attack roll and no attack is mentioned in its text, the spell doesn’t include an attack. #DnD https://t.co/NZRXHINkJV
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@erifnevow @NowredEQAn effect can deal damage too. Lava doesn’t attack you, but it hurts you. Exactly.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
@jaa0109Would Wall of Fire be a good example? Wall of fire does, indeed, lack an attack roll or any mention of an attack. It delivers damage via a saving throw.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 8, 2016
Fireball, lightning bolt, and wall of fire are examples of spells that deal damage (via a saving throw) and don’t involve an attack. #DnD

@LifeNeedsThingscan a wizard chose themself as a protected person in the Sculpt Spells feature? The book says “affects other creatures” No.

Inured to Undeath says your hit point maximum can't be reduced. That does, indeed, mean your hit point maximum can't be reduced. #DnD https://t.co/pNk6I5AFTm
