Gravity Well doesn't impose a limit on the number of creatures it can affect. That means there's not a limit. #DnD https://t.co/kCyLHsqzZT

In the D&D rules, your character is a creature.
If a feature, like the paladin's Lay on Hands, works on any creature you touch, then you can use that feature on yourself, provided you can reach yourself. #DnD https://t.co/bVGGbTyubD

@matthewmercer @Dan_Dillon_1 @jamesjhaeck @JeremyECrawford Sorry if this was already answered, but I haven’t seen it
Can Bards take Dunamancy spells vía Magical Secrets? As written they’re subclass exclusive but still part of the Wizard class.
So…. Yes, they can?
— John Appleton (@jaa0109) March 19, 2020
Entirely up to your DM to decide if those spells are available.
A bard can't select spells they don't know to exist.

Curious how a nonwizard gains a dunamancy spell from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount? That book says, "These spells are available to the wizard subclasses previously mentioned in this chapter, as well as other spellcasting classes with the Dungeon Master’s consent." #DnD https://t.co/IPEskezR61

What's the reason that a non-monk character can't use the second fist as a bonus action when it can already use that bonus action for any light weapon?
If you could use both fist, you still deal less damage than a monk…— Moses Lord (@MosesLord777) April 17, 2020
The 2-weapon bonus action on page 195 of the Player’s Handbook is a special action for weapons that have the light property. It has no other purpose. It’s not trying to model two-handed fighting of any other sort. Other features in the game do that better. #DnD https://t.co/pRuSlgGZgq

@JeremyECrawford hello!! Question: my friend was playing a paladin. He got a attack of opportunity and wanted to blast it with a smite? I said it’s a reaction and it only one melee attack. Not sure on the ruling. We let it go cause it was a cool part in the story.

The paladin's Divine Smite feature isn't limited to the paladin's turn. Its prerequisite is hitting a creature with a melee weapon attack. #DnD https://t.co/E3b49ZLXco

@JeremyECrawford One of my players recently mentioned that his philosophy on D&D mechanics is that “the system is meant to be broken,” which can be frustrating for me at times. As one of the key people behind creating these mechanics, how do you feel about this philosophy?

The rules of D&D are a toolbox, and each group decides how to use the tools within, ideally in a way that heightens the group's fun. If abiding by the rules is your bliss, follow them. If changing them is your jam, tweak them. If you prefer a middle path, happily walk it. #DnD https://t.co/4TmDMjremF

@JeremyECrawford Would the Artificers Flash of Genius work on Death Saving throws? I'm inclined to say yes but I'm not sure.
— sam scott (@appleye4) February 12, 2020
The D&D artificer's Flash of Genius works on death saving throws.
A death saving throw is a saving throw, so if you have a feature that can benefit a saving throw of any kind, that feature can benefit a death saving throw. #DnD https://t.co/PrPeeeIAMj

An Echo Knight's echo is an object. It's a translucent, gray image that occupies space; it isn't a creature; and it can be targeted. Object.
It's like you're targeting a moving painting or a hologram with substance. #DnD https://t.co/kmCZdEnNmu

If a specter reduces your hit point maximum to 0, you die. Here's the true horror: if someone revives you, your hit point maximum is still 0, so you're dead again. There are few ways around this—the wish spell being one.
Undead are loathed in D&D worlds for such horrors. #DnD https://t.co/c7YWXYGcGX
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 17, 2020
The thing here is that this is a reduction of maximum hit points that doesn’t have an end time except for a long rest. Therefore, if something else gives you hit points, or heals you, it fails because your maximum hit points determines… your maximum hit points you can have. You're correct, @WilliamBosleyDM. 👍

Animate dead…
Do you need all 206 bones? Could it just be some of the bones? Could you just do like, legs and a skull? Do you need more than half?
If a creature was missing limbs in life could you raise them? (if they had a peg leg or something?)@JeremyECrawford— Zee (@Zeebashew) April 20, 2020
Animating a skeleton with the animate dead spell in D&D doesn't require all the bones.
In a D&D session I ran two weeks ago, the heroes were attacked by a headless skeleton riding a skeletal warhorse. The poor skeleton had very bad aim! #DnD https://t.co/Idc2gWLKNG
