@HughHolbrookQuestion about one of the magic items in the 5e DMG. Sword of Sharpness, does object include creatures for the effect? "Sword of Sharpness, does object include creatures for the effect?" Two different effects: one for objects, one for creatures.

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Shield Master feat has no shield proficiency requirement.Therefore can I select feat & gain shield proficiency?

— Carmine (@nirvanstryder) August 28, 2015

The Shield Master feat doesn’t grant proficiency with shields. https://t.co/XwNnCwFJ6S

.@JeremyECrawford a silly little question on the bonus to speaking to dragons for Draconic Bloodline; does this bonus also apply to those with draconic origins like Dragonborn, or is it strictly for speaking with full-blooded dragons?

The Dragon Ancestor feature of the D&D sorcerer gives you advantage on Charisma checks when interacting with dragons.

Here the rule is referring to creatures who are members of the dragon creature type. Dragonborn aren't such creatures; they have the humanoid type. #DnD https://t.co/vLzP8Wstiq

Ah makes sense, but just to confirm, if a creature were considered a dragon type feature would apply though? That's correct.

"In D&D, does Distant Spell work on a spell that has a range of self?" Distant Spell doesn't work with a range of Self or Self (X). It works only on a spell that has a range of X feet or touch. And on spells with range X (Y area), distant spell only affects X. The area of effect remains unchanged even though Y if is included in the range entry.#DnD

That's correct!

@Aseahawkfan Does Stealth or Invisibility work within Blindsight range? "Does Stealth or Invisibility work within Blindsight range?" A creature can try to hide within blindsight range behind cover.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 10, 2015

@AseahawkfanWhat advantages does blindsight provide, if cover protects against it? Blindsight lets you spot an invisible creature in range, but that creature can still try to hide behind something with Stealth.

@Loose_Head_Devois there a list of animals Druids can shift into? Or just what’s in the PHB? A druid can turn into a beast he or she has seen before and that meets the requirements in Wild Shape.

Attention Druids! I made a checklist to track your wild shape forms (sorted by CR). It includes info on offense (attack/damage), defense (AC/HP), movement, perception, and size. Perfect for beginners, great for anyone! #DnD #DnD5ehttps://t.co/SCMC6oHNyO

Does a Wild Surge effect replace the effect of the spell cast triggering it or both effect happens?

@Plaguescarred @JeremyECrawfordDoes a Wild Surge effect replace the effect of the spell cast triggering it or both effect happens? Tx both spells trigger. That's how we played at #GenCon

— OregonPinkRose (@OregonPinkRose) August 30, 2014

@Plaguescarred @OregonPinkRoseMe too but i don’t know if intended like previous ed that’s why i asked Jeremy to have the devs opinion…. A Wild Surge effect is meant to be in addition to a spell's effect.

What is the reason that an off-hand attack does not include the ability modifier to damage?

Peroanally, it would seem that you could still hit as hard, and the penalty should be for the roll to hit, not the damage roll.

I was referring to the two-weapon bonus action, and thank you for a great answer! Thinking of it as a “quick” strike makes perfect sense. You're welcome!
