@JeremyECrawford Is a Rakshasa immune to the damage of the new Dragon's Breath spell (2nd level) from XGE, even though it is not the target of the spell?

As of the Monster Manual errata, the rakshasa's Limited Magic Immunity starts as follows: "The rakshasa can’t be affected or detected by spells of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be." #DnD https://t.co/IWgL8t2tzu

The PH has a suite of summoning spells, with more on the way in Xanathar's Guide, and the wizard and druid are both adept at using them.

Summoning is a nasty little problem in terms of power, balance, compexity, but one we've been pondering on and off for a long while. https://t.co/FJklTgAB4a

Maybe the solution is to make summoned monsters not behave like monsters but rather as targeted or area effects.
— Dee (@FarthingRoad) October 1, 2017
That's totally sensible; barrier we've seen is that most players really want to have monsters that stick around be the focus

The necromancer is already the go to ‘summoner’/minion class. What would you do different from it? My personal goal – summoned minions that felt like NPCs, personalities, stick around

Debating D&D RAW… please clarify; if killed by Power Word Kill, are your HP reduced to 0? @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls
— GabeinGames (@GabeinGames) October 3, 2017
Power Word Kill doesn't deal damage or otherwise reduce your hit points. If you have 100 hp or fewer, the spell kills you instantly. #DnD https://t.co/dF75CO1Ipi

Does this mean a spell such a Death Ward would not save you?The third paragraph of the spell addresses your question.

@JeremyECrawford Minor illusion: "Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion" Revealed to all who see the interaction?

Physical interaction with minor illusion reveals it to be illusory to anyone who witnesses that revelation. #DnD https://t.co/CnSZyD7UaX

@JeremyECrawford Could you have Flame Strike's (5th level spell) area of effect be underground despite it "roaring down from the heavens"?
— Jaden Ray Fajardo (@songobobjf) October 12, 2017
The flame strike spell can be cast indoors. #DnD https://t.co/RmDVuTpakc

@JeremyECrawford is pushing/dragging a grappled creature subject to the carrying capacity rules?
— Armando Doval (@armando_doval) September 11, 2017
The rule on moving a grappled creature (PH, 195) works regardless of a creature's weight. It cares about creature size. #DnD https://t.co/3Q6lTXKi31
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 13, 2017
That’s what I thought, but I couldn’t help wondering if “drag or carry with you” is a reference to the “Lifting and Carrying” rules. Thanks! No problem! The rule doesn't rely on weight largely because we don't specify weight for most monsters.

@JeremyECrawford With the Grave Domain in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, does the "Path to the Grave" feature only apply vulnerability, but keep immunity and resistance intact? It doesn't say that it removes resistances/immunity, but in the Unearthed Arcana it did. Intended?
— Angus Surber (@AngusKhan21) November 14, 2017
Path to the Grave intentionally doesn't remove immunity or resistance. #DnD https://t.co/e4APj0XgqK
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 14, 2017
So how would that work? Would the creature have vulnerability, or immunity?
— Westley Braswell (@WestleyBraswell) November 14, 2017
If a creature is immune to a damage type, giving them vulnerability or resistance to it doesn't do anything. If a creature somehow has resistance and vulnerability to the same damage type, follow the rule in the Player's Handbook (p. 197). #DnD https://t.co/qwnv8ekhYH

So, may I inquire as to the decision which led to Clerics not getting the Wall of Light spell?Wall of light is part of the arcane suite of wall spells. We didn't design it for clerics, who don't own radiant damage.
