Orcus’ lair actions from OotA still says:
“Orcus’s voice booms throughout the lair. His utterance causes one creature of his choice to be subjected to power word kill (save DC 23).”
Power Word Kill has no saving throw. It’s been years now, has there been no time to fix this? That's now in the queue!

Would an Arcane Tricksters Mage Hand trigger an Alarm spell?
@JeremyECrawford Would an Arcane Tricksters mage hand trigger an Alarm spell?
— Jason (@JJRed88) April 23, 2018
The alarm created by the alarm spell is triggered by a creature, as stated in the spell's description. The hand created by the mage hand spell is not a creature, so the hand doesn't trigger the alarm. #DnD https://t.co/bUTyJ38qRm

Does the Identify spell reveal that Nystul’s Magic Aura was cast?
@JeremyECrawford When identify is cast on an object affected by Nystul's magic aura, does the identify spell reveal that Nystul's magic aura was cast? It would seem against the intent of Nystul's to me but Identify specifies that it detects spells cast on the target?
— wannes ooms (@wannesooms) April 16, 2018
The identify spell can tell if an object is under the effect of Nystul's magic aura. You often won't know to cast identify on the item, though, if Nystul's magic aura has made the item appear to be nonmagical. #DnD https://t.co/755kCJbwIs

Could you clarify what exactly “normal damage” is?
@JeremyECrawford I’ve seen “normal damage” written a few times in the description of spells or abilities (martial arts, lighting arrow) could you clarify what exactly normal damage is? Is it just the damage dice? Or does it also include the modifier and any magic on the weapon?
— Jordan Neville (@TheFinalEvil) April 13, 2018
The term "normal damage" has no special meaning in the rules. Context determines the meaning. For example, the lightning arrow spell causes a weapon to deal the lightning damage in the spell in place of whatever damage the weapon normally deals. Damage = roll + modifiers. #DnD https://t.co/5g9DUA3sYG

On a related note, “abnormal damage” is a fancy way of saying “healing”. https://t.co/7ZdsOgYSCw

If a creature is immune to the prone condition, does that mean it can’t even enjoy laying down?
If a creature like a jelly is immune to the prone condition, does that mean it can't even enjoy laying down? If it is flying can it not be "shoved prone" out of the air?#dnd #sageadvice @ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford
— Jeremy (@GreyNoiseGaming) April 12, 2018
If you're immune to a condition, you're immune to its game effects. So if you're immune to the prone condition, the system never considers you to be prone. But that fact has no effect on roleplaying; if you want to recline, treat yourself! #DnD https://t.co/pf2ft2OCCp

A teifling takes fire damage and has Armor of Agathys does it take the resistance to fire from the teifling?
@JeremyECrawford
My friends were discussing if temporary hit points have resistance to what ever damage resistances you have. Far ex. A teifling takes fire damage and has armor of agathys does it take the resistance to fire from the teifling?— LilD00bie (@AndrewDerp) March 14, 2018
