@JeremyECrawford pc surrounded by ghasts, a stench save for each? If so, if save against one = save against all? Thanks.

If you're surrounded by ghasts, you have to make a saving throw against each one's Stench. Stinky! 😷 #DnD https://t.co/jqIgPGnuBG

Wait, I thought overlapping effects didn't stack. You don't make saves against multiple overlapping Stinking Clouds, why do you make saves against multiple Ghast auras? What's the logic here?

— Thomas "You Can Call Me Tom" (@thomasabarry1) March 16, 2018

If multiple versions of the same thing affect you simultaneously, you don't have to save multiple times. But if you hop into the same effect consecutively, you have to save each time. #DnD https://t.co/AhDti9o4GY

But … the two ghast situation is an example of two things affecting your simultaneously, same as entering the space of two stinking clouds (or two overlapping Wall of Fire effects). Ghast is SOT, so necessarily, 2 ghasts will have to be simultaneous. My second tweet clarifies the first, which talks about being surrounded (not a game term). Surrounded can mean, among other things, (a) effects overlap or (b) effects are adjacent to each other.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 16, 2018

So if you start your turn in 3 different ghast auras you save once? If you move past 3 different ghasts you save 3 times? That's correct.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 16, 2018

So, to be clear: Enter two Stinking Clouds at the same time: one save. Two ghasts start turn: Save once. But successfully saving against one doesn’t mean you’re immune to the other? Also, no overlapping damage from Wall of Fire still?Correct.

@JeremyECrawford If you ready an action to strike an foe, can you use action surge on that held action?

— Thomas Meyler (@ThomasMeyler) September 20, 2017

Action Surge specifies that you take the extra action on your turn, not on someone else's. #DnD https://t.co/K5TFSNii8a

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 20, 2017

But, you can use Action Surge for the Ready action, right?On your turn, you could indeed use Action Surge to take the Ready action.

@JeremyECrawford Have a question concerning Ghost Lantern. Since the effect doesn't have a cooldown (every short or long rest), does that mean the bearer in possession of the Ghost Lantern will never need to make a death saving throw?

— Timothy (@timothyreese) January 29, 2018

If you're attuned to a ghost lantern and within 10 feet of it, you can avoid making death saving throws while you're unconscious. #DnD https://t.co/MczXPaIAaq

Can you use divine smite while raging?

— craig starnes (@craigstarnes) January 26, 2018

Divine smite is not a spell, yet it is fueled by spell slots. Because it is not a spell, it is not affected by things like Rage that prevent spellcasting. #DnD https://t.co/rQOdFIEqDJ

@JeremyECrawford how does AC with unconcious targets come into play? Party all failed to hit an unconcious hawk with 13AC and it was a very strange situation that didn't feel right.

— Mr. Gryphian (@MrGryphian) February 4, 2018

Being unconscious has no effect on your AC. Being unconscious does impose other effects on you, however. See the definition of the unconscious condition for more information (PH, 292, or on the official DM screen). #DnD https://t.co/kCYpnszzEv

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 4, 2018

No dex loss?

— Alan Dobson (@amadobson) February 4, 2018

It's not an oversight.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 4, 2018

It's true. The definition of the unconscious condition, which you can read on page 292 of the Player's Handbook, intentionally doesn't change a creature's AC. It does, however, give advantage on attack rolls against the creature. #DnD https://t.co/6bUssLhrE8

"How did you MISS him? He was sleep!"
"He is a VERY FITFUL SLEEPER, CARL!"

— Matthew Domville (@mattdomville) February 4, 2018

In D&D, making an attack roll against someone isn't just an attempt to hit them; it's an attempt to strike a telling blow. In the narrative, you can imagine that many attack rolls that miss actually connect with the target, but fail to strike in a way that is damaging. #DnD https://t.co/fl4F6SH2L8

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 4, 2018

I’m curious why though, since an unconscious creature can’t utilize their dexterity to avoid a blow… is it because the +5 from Adv. is already a sizable bonus?

— Theo 🌹☃️ (@TheoYoureCool) February 4, 2018

Advantage on attack rolls can be enough of a bonus to erase the Dexterity contribution that a typical creature has to AC (usually 0–5). That's one of the reasons an unconscious creature doesn't lose a Dex. bonus. And we like to avoid stat recalculation at the game table. #DnD https://t.co/vKGGoWgLcr

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 4, 2018

While I like this interpretation of typical combat, I feel like this still doesn't quite address the "How did I not even hurt this guy who wasn't moving while I wasn't even in a rush?"

— Donnie Gray (@iisgray) February 4, 2018

The d20 is a wild creature, representing many possibilities. It makes extraordinary success possible, as well as unexpected failure. Both are great narrative opportunities for DMs and players to explore and describe. #DnD https://t.co/Sy4QGfJuVb

I appreciate you for what you do Jeremy. So many of these devolve into “can I find a loophole in the language to do something unintended.” You’re a blessing for setting so many of these things straight for us.

A lot of depth about the drow pantheon, you say? Can you confirm any of the following: Eilistraee, Ghaunadaur, Vulkoor?

— Millstone85 (@Stonemill1985) March 14, 2018

All three of those gods have sections about them.

@JeremyECrawford How does Zone of Truth work exactly? It seems the saving throw repeats until you're going to fail. But then does it keep repeating once under the spell? If not, why make a saving throw in the first place, it seems it'd be simpler for it to just work.

— Marc Sharma (@LeMarcSharma) March 14, 2018

Zone of truth requires you to make a saving throw when you enter the zone for the first time on a turn or start your turn there. If you fail your save against the spell, you don't keep making the saving throw; you're now affected by the spell for its duration. #DnD https://t.co/bt4bor2VVj

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 14, 2018

Thanks for the answer, but in that case, I’m curious why require a saving throw in the first place. So that you can resist it.
