Does a paladin’s Lay On Hands feature require ‘a free hand’ ?
@JeremyECrawford Does a paladin's Lay On Hands feature require 'a free hand' – or can they use it as long as they are close enough to touch?
— Ken Ross (@RossPubGrp) January 11, 2017
Lay on Hands requires you to touch the target. The feature isn't concerned with how you execute the touch. #DnD https://t.co/L70cAAl8x0

@FatalisSmilodonGood to know I can ignore the title of the spell in determining how it works. You are welcome to play the feature's name literally. In which case, I recommend laying both of your hands on the target.

Most groups play a feature like Lay on Hands with the name in mind—laying on a hand. Yet the rules don't say what the touch entails #DnD https://t.co/Ou33yKmBmA

@TehPaigeyou mean the wounded don’t have to lay down on top of the paladin’s hands? Hahahaha!

How do you suggest role playing the 3 attunement limit?
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford how do you suggest RPing the 3 attunement limit? My PC became VERY wealthy. He should be buying lots of stuff!
— Beerbarian (@MTBeerbarian) December 2, 2016
Attunement represents the ability to mystically bond to items of magical power. Wealth has no bearing on it. It's also a game limit. #DnD https://t.co/lZlFhaVhKe

Were bucklers removed from 5E?
@JeremyECrawford Were bucklers removed from 5E? Do they count as shields with a +2 AC and ability to use two handed weapons? Seems OP. #dnd
— Dave Cole (@davexole) November 30, 2016
There are no special rules for bucklers in the three core books. The generic shield stands in for shields of all sorts. #DnD https://t.co/RHMkF0whZK

Would successfully casting blindness on a Beholder disable it’s eyes?
@JeremyECrawford Would successfully casting blindness on a Beholder disable it's antimagic cone/eye rays?
— Trevor (@TrevAtherton) March 20, 2017
A beholder's Eye Rays action refers to sight. Its Antimagic Cone doesn't. One is affected by blindness, while the other isn't. #DnD https://t.co/6fIOBjHYeU

I’m having real trouble finding the rule that penalizes picking up weapons…
@DasJano Im having real trouble finding the rule that penalizes picking up weapons when in close range combat… is there even one? There isn't.

@JeremyECrawford So what use has the Disarming Maneuver for fighters?
— Jano (@DasJano) March 10, 2017
One of the best uses of Disarming Attack is to knock something out of a foe's hands and then pick it up. #DnD https://t.co/WZ7fypieb3

@erifnevow Isn’t picking up something an “object interaction” that you get one of? Yes, it is. Use it to pick up the goody!

Does Spell Sniper work on radiant monk’s radiant blast?
@JeremyECrawford @Tobbun This thread minded me 2 ask: does it work on radiant monk's radiant blast? Spell in text, not on a list tho.
— Jeffrey (@ofthemagi) December 21, 2016
Radiant Sun Bolt isn't a spell. It involves a spell attack—an attack type. #DnD https://t.co/fMZTBLOGFw

Why does the PH say if a trigger occurs you can ignore it?
@JeremyECrawford Why does the PH say if a trigger occurs you can ignore it? Wouldn't it be better to include "…and wait for the trigger to occur again"?
— Tyler Ryan (@TySQL) May 8, 2017
Ready action. The rules says you can ignore the trigger, because yes, you can ignore it. You can try again if it is open-ended enough. #DnD https://t.co/GFdvm94iMX
