@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford are booming blade and green-flame blade part of the attack action, or do they replace it? It's worded vaguely.

You use the Cast a Spell action to cast a spell, including a cantrip. #DnD https://t.co/L4KG2az7Bt

@chopkins779Will booming blade trigger before the Sentinel feature takes effect? Opportunity attacks happen just before they leave reach. i believe the creature then takes damage, unless it opts to stop moving immediately and stay in your reach

@chopkins779 When is booming blade’s effect triggered? Does the creature have to expend a full 5 feet of movement? essentially, yes. that's enough to move from one spot to another for game purposes

@mikemearls Do you think using an animated shield counts as wielding it for the purposes of bladesong armor restrictions? #dnd #scag #dmg

Yes – you have a free hand, but still need to use tactics that account for it. https://t.co/rERM0lDUpV

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls How would you re-skin a Purple Dragon Knight for a Spelljammer campaign?

A Purple Dragon Knight could simply board a space-bound ship on Toril and take to the stars. #DnD https://t.co/ats4Ra880l

@PandaemoniUnearthed Arc, SCAG, DMG and Elem Evil guides, is there a reason Bards and Druids get so little new crunch? #bardicinspiration haven't seen big demand for it – think PHB hits biggest archetypes. That said, might have some bard stuff soon in UA.

@mpetruzzCan a tome pact warlock combine the shillelagh cantrip with green flame blade? Hellfire burning magic staff combo #dnd Yes.

@FleshGhost5Hi Mike, do you reckon the variant tieflings with the wings from SCAG have armour restrictions at all like an aarakocra? not as a standard thing, but reasonable house rule if flight is an issue for your game
