@JeremyECrawford Can psionics be affected by anti-magic. Like the anti-magic cone from a Beholder?

— WillisQuarentined (@benwoodtweet) April 20, 2020

So the telekinetic feet would be affect but only the part were it says you can cast mage hand?

— WillisQuarentined (@benwoodtweet) April 20, 2020

That's correct.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) April 20, 2020

that makes no sense – it's still a creature that is powered by magic. Like an animated armor or a rug of smothering. Neither of the three would be animated inside an antimagic field.

— LordKosta (@LordKosta) April 20, 2020

The animated armor and rug of smothering monsters in the Monster Manual have a trait called Antimagic Susceptibility. The fact that they have that trait has no bearing on how other constructs function in D&D. #DnD https://t.co/GsDy2ew3FG

An animated construct /is/ animated. Armor does not live of its own accord without the presence of magic. Whether that magic is considered a previous “spark” or active “fuel” (aka considered magical) is arbitrary in 5e. I agree that animated armor needs magic to fuel it, which is why it has the Antimagic Susceptibility trait.

Passive skills. To what extent should passive checks be used for skills. All skills? @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls

@wastingx @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford I tend to use them in low stress situations, and make extensive use of passive Perception checks

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 28, 2015

Passive checks are a tool for a DM (not players) to speed up play or keep a secret. Use them as you see fit. #DnD https://t.co/da0XQKNq9V

@JeremyECrawford So player can't declare, I walk around the room using my 20+ passive perception to find hidden object/door/trap/creature?

— WastingX (@wastingx) November 2, 2015

The design intent is that the DM uses passive checks. When players want to use an ability, they roll a d20. #DnD https://t.co/ZZZoeAG2GO

@JamesMusicusHi Jeremy, I was wondering about the wording of Fighting Styles in 5e. Can you have more than 1 from multiclassing? "I was wondering about the wording of Fighting Styles in 5e. Can you have more than 1 from multiclassing?" Yep!

@JeremyECrawford @_FoxyBoxes_A wizard can cast a spell learned from Magic Initiate (see the Sage Advice Compendium).
they still can't cast it using a spell slot unless they chose their class for the feat; Ranger is out of luck.

— Ken Livingston (@undrhil) August 29, 2015

@undrhil @_FoxyBoxes_ The EK and the ranger can cheat (RAW) because of how their features are worded. But what you say is RAI.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 29, 2015

@_FoxyBoxes_ Last question: is this ‘cheating’ a problem balance-wise? It's not a balance problem per se. It's a fairness problem, which many players perceive as a balance problem. @undrhil

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 30, 2015

@_FoxyBoxes_So nothing will break if I rule it to be castable by anyone with spell slots? Will something in the system break? No. Will someone think it's unfair? Maybe. @undrhil

@shadowbladespaiCan a monk add his WiS bonus to his CA if it has a Mage armor spell active? Many thanks for your help!! Different AC calculations don’t stack, so a monk can’t simultaneously benefit from Unarmored Defense and mage armor.

Can you jump farther than your movement when using magic i.e spell Jump & boots of striding and springing?

@mikemearls @Plaguescarredi’d rule yes – design intent is to make you jump super far To be clear, things like the jump spell don’t increase speed. You can jump crazy far, but your speed caps it.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 17, 2014

@Plaguescarred @mikemearlsAre you saying you can’t jump farther than your speed even with Jump spell or Boots of Striding and Springing? Every foot jumped costs movement, so you can jump farther than your current speed if you take the Dash action.

@Lancekepnerdoes a rogue with arcane trickster count as wizard class for attunement to staff of fire? An arcane trickster isn't considered a wizard. @mikemearls

Must I doff a shield to use it as an improvised weapon?

@dpnorton “Must I doff a shield to use it as an improvised weapon?” Nope. It’s shield-bash time!

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 12, 2015

Does proficiency with my shield apply to a shield bash? Why doesn’t every monster with a shield detail a bash?

@dpnorton If you attack with a shield, it’s a normal improvised weapon, unless a special feature says otherwise. @SeldenNeil

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 13, 2015

@dpnorton The Dueling feature makes some assumptions about imp. weapons that aren’t in the text. I’ll explain in Sage Advice.@MLenser
