@Hard_ViceTrue Strike + Action Surge or Eldritch Knight’s War Magic — advantage this turn or next? Spell says next—intentional? Yes, the timing in the true strike spell is intentional.

Errata, Warlock quick build – Ray of Sickness is not a Warlock spell
@gregbilsland PHB pg. 106 – Warlock quick build – Ray of Sickness is not a Warlock spell.
— Daniel C. Fischer (@Drago95) September 9, 2014
@gregbilsland @Drago95 Yeah, ray of sickness shouldn't be there. Charm person is a good substitute.

Cantrip: does a multiclass caster use their character or class level for determining damage?
@TinyConstructWith cantrips, does a MC caster use their character or class level for determining damage? A multiclass character uses character level to determine the damage of a cantrip.

If a player has Polearm Master feat, but is using a spear or quarterstaff 1 hand with a shield, does the feat still apply?
@JeremyECrawford If a player has Polearm Master feat, but is using a spear or quarterstaff 1h with a shield, does the feat still apply? i.e. he/she is not using the weapon 2h as a "polearm."
— Tom Breen (@TomBree00659498) December 7, 2020
The Polearm Master feat's benefits work with spears and quarterstaffs, whether or not you're wielding those weapons with two hands.
The feat contains no requirements about hands.
Also, the word "polearm" has no special rules meaning in D&D. #DnD https://t.co/WSbutvFbnN

If a warlock hexes someone and chooses strength, does that give the target disadvantage on attacks?
@IkeaFurnishings if a warlock hexes someone and chooses strength, does that give the target disadvantage on attacks?
The hex spell imposes disadvantage on ability checks, not attack rolls.

How darkvision interacts with creatures that exploit dim light/darkness, can it still Hide/turn invisible?
I always wonder about how darkvision interacts with creatures that exploit dim light/darkness. If a shadow demon or shadow mastiff is in (objectively) dim light, and it's within LoS of a creature with darkvision, can it still Hide/turn invisible? @JeremyECrawford @Dan_Dillon_1
— Keith Ammann (@KeithAmmann) April 24, 2020
A shadow demon in D&D can use its Shadow Stealth trait while in dim light or darkness—taking the Hide action as a bonus action—regardless of others' senses. That said, the trait doesn't guarantee success at hiding. Another creatures' perceptiveness might foil the attempt. #DnD https://t.co/aEXT3GT1NO
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) April 24, 2020
Hm. So Skulker states explicitly that the level of obscurity depends on the senses of the observer, but Shadow Stealth and Shadow Blend don't. So maybe for those two traits, obscurity IS an objective fact, not dependent on the observer?
Yep, this is why we need clarification!
— Keith Ammann (@KeithAmmann) April 24, 2020
In D&D, the wording of a player character feature, such as a feat or a class feature, has no bearing on how to interpret the wording of a monster's features. #DnD https://t.co/Zw86oDjMOo
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) April 24, 2020
Makes sense, but what about the shadow mastiff, which "becomes invisible"? Does that condition hold even if the dimly lit area in which it takes the Shadow Blend bonus action is brightly lit to an observer with darkvision? Or does it remain visible to that observer?
— Keith Ammann (@KeithAmmann) April 24, 2020
The shadow mastiff's Shadow Blend trait allows the creature to turn invisible if it's in dim light or darkness. The trait lists several things that can end this invisibility, including bright light. None of those things are someone else's senses. #DnD https://t.co/TOxELbXOuo

Druid shifter: Lion only gets one attack per round, so can’t grapple and eat face?
Druid shifter question. Multiattack. Lion only gets one attack per round, so can’t grapple and eat face?
@gruevy @mikemearlsDruid shifter question. Multiattack. Lion only gets one attack per round, so can’t grapple and eat face? That's correct, but a druid in lion form could use Pounce, bite a prone target as a bonus action, and then grapple.
