@JeremyECrawford @LordCyler is Magic Missile an attack that hits without an attack roll? It obv. hit since that's in the spell.

Magic missile isn't intended to be an attack. #DnD https://t.co/S8bOpFinmJ

What was it intended for then … https://t.co/auO9AADZAI

@godnojoe It's intended to deal damage.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 16, 2015

@godnojoe @JeremyECrawford Seriously, if it's not an attack then what's it good for? Also, it does damage, doesn't that make it an attack?

— Rob Weeks (@ZombieSlag) September 16, 2015

Dealing damage doesn't make something an attack. An attack roll—or being called an attack—makes it an attack. #DnD https://t.co/GEkcY05aYH

@mrlong78Thunderwave Spell:Where is the cube?
Is the caster at the center of the cube, or on one side of the cube?
Caster’s choice? The point of origin of a cubic area of effect, including thunderwave's, is on a face of the cube (PH, pg 204), not inside it.

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD Is Sacred Flame really the only offensive Cantrip for Clerics? Seems highly restricting.

— John Appleton (@jaa0109) November 12, 2014

@jaa0109 @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnDDo you see allowing access to one more offensive Cantrip based on Domain as unbalancing? A cleric can pick up other damaging cantrips by taking the Magic Initiate feat or by multiclassing.

In Xanathar’s Guide to Everything you can also find “Toll the Dead” and “Word of Radiance“

@OG_Captain_MELApologies if you’ve answered, but what range do Monks get when using Ki to launch deflected missiles back at attackers? "what range do Monks get when using Ki to launch deflected missiles back at attackers?" A range of 20/60 is a good default.

when a storm sorcerer uses their tempestuous magic ability to fly does thst also use 10 feet from their normal movement? The wording made it seem like those were an extra 10 feet of movement without provoking OA at the cost of a bonus action. I ask this cause my storm priest character dashed on his horse then i bonus actioned to fly off the horse and used my movement to keep the horse away from the dire wolves and i got into melee range and thunderwaved with my channeled divinity to maximize the damage.

If you're a Storm Sorcery sorcerer and use Tempestuous Magic, the 10 feet of flight doesn't expend any of your normal movement that turn. #DnD https://t.co/WDrxExrizU

Does the Ranger’s Companion add proficiency bonus to its save DCs?

@monstermanual @mikemearlsDoes an animal companion add the Ranger’s proficiency bonus to its save DCs (for example, a Mastiff’s bite)? The ranger’s proficiency bonus isn’t added to the beast’s save DCs, but a DM could certainly override that.

@MunchkinenQ: Do controlled mounts use the riders Action? Could mount do Disengage+movement while rider uses Attack in same turn? A controlled mount doesn't use the rider's action.

@calebrus44Many of us prefer RAI to RAW. Who should we ask for that? Crawford is the RAW guy. Who’s got RAI? I'm happy to give a RAI answer. Just let me know when that's what you seek. @mikemearls @wotc_rodney

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 15, 2015

@calebrus44That’s always what I seek, but I know you prioritize RAW, so I’ll try to remember to specify. 🙂 Most of the questions I receive are RAW-oriented, but RAW doesn't reign; DMs do. @mikemearls @wotc_rodney

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 15, 2015

@calebrus44That’s exactly why many of us feel that the intent > wording. Easier to make the right call. The text is the primary record of our design intent. We can comment and clarify, but the DM decides. @mikemearls @wotc_rodney
