@JeremyECrawford Observant Feat says +5 to passive Perception and passive Investigation. What is passive Investigation?

— Giolon (@Giolon) September 24, 2015

Passive Int. (Investigation) rarely applies. If it does, it uses the normal rules for passive checks (PH, 175). #DnD https://t.co/l6BvgPAVgt

@ActusRhesusthen what is the point of +5 to passive intelligence? The point is that you get +5 if the DM uses your passive Intelligence (Investigation) score.

ERRATA Crossbow Expert (p. 165). The word “loaded” has been cut from the third benefit.

@pizzystrizzyquestion – why does crossbow expert specify that the bonus action requires a ‘loaded’ crossbow? That’s really flavor text. Assuming you have enough ammo, the first bullet of the feat enables you to easily load the weapon.

@RSIxidor @pizzystrizzyDo you need two hands to load a hand crossbow? IE, could I have a shield or rapier in the other hand? I’d say you need at least one hand free to load the bolt.

Can a MC Wizard 2/Cleric 18 learn a 3rd level spell, i.e fireball that he would find on is adventure?

@PlaguescarredCan a MC Wizard 2/Cleric 18 learn a 3rd level spell, i.e fireball that he would find on is adventure? That character wouldn’t be able to learn fireball, since he doesn’t have enough levels in the wizard class.

@jaa0109For spells that deal 2 damage types, like Destructive Wave, does Tempest CD max all damage or just Thunder/Lightning? "For spells that deal 2 damage types, like Destructive Wave, does Tempest CD max all damage or just Thunder/Lightning?" The latter.

@jtburling stunned creature auto fails dex and str saves – but any effect on ability checks, like resisting a grapple attempt? Thx! The rules leave the answer to this question up to the DM. In most cases, I'd have a stunned creature fail to resist a grapple.

@JeremyECrawford how does multiclassing the Soulknife and Psi Warrior work with regards to how many Psionic Energy dice you get? Is it still just 2x prof. bonus? Are we relying on the fact that both features share a name, Psionic Power, and thus don't stack?

— DMDanDanFielding (@DMdandanfieldng) November 25, 2020

The D&D Psi Warrior and Soulknife each get their own pool of Psionic Energy dice, which (quoting the class feature) "fuel various psionic powers you have, which are detailed below." Here "below" refers to the powers in the subclass, not powers you might get elsewhere. #DnD https://t.co/F2cbXOhtBx

This means you use your Psi Warrior dice with your Psi Warrior powers, and you use your Soulknife dice with your Soulknife powers. #DnD

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 25, 2020

so to be clear you would have two separate pools of Psionic Energy dice that can each only be used for the features from their respective classes? That's correct.

I have a rules question. Might be more than one tweet. Regarding cunning action disengage, can a rogue use disengage at the START of their turn to move away from a combatant, then move into a space where they are surrounded on 3 sides, re-engage an enemy (attack) And then, because they disengaged at the start of their turn, move away from all three monsters without taking any attacks of opportunity? Rules as written seem to suggest so, but we were confused when someone did this.

The beauty of the Disengage action in D&D is that, once you take it, you gain its benefit until the end of the turn. That means you can avoid provoking opportunity attacks from multiple foes. #DnD https://t.co/DZj2SXACya
