@corymacdonald With UA Ranger is Skirmisher Stealth supposed to work in toe to toe melee? Dueling face to face but hidden?
you still need to fulfill reqs to hide – can only hide if you are invisible while next to a creature (or creature is blinded)

Unearthed Arcana
UA – Shadow Sorcerer
@ZarconistPreistI LOVE the Shadow Sorcerer! but with how badly nerfed Storm Sorcerer got, what do you think the official version will look like? hard to say – sorcerers are funny in that we found an upgrade that everyone wants so early on. Lucky but annoying!

@ZarconistPreistAn upgrade as in? the bonus spells we gave the storm sorcerer, and others

Sorcerous Origin: Shadow – Strength of the Grave
@tjfalcon1Strength of the Grave DC 5+dmg taken is a huge benefit, easy at low level, loses effectiveness at higher level, intentional?
yes – it's good for dealing with weenies, not so good for heavy hitters

Tunnel Fighter Attacks of Opportunity
@stevey @frasmageTunnel Fighter in “Defensive Stance” might have max number of AoO set at Dex bonus? Unlimited seems wrong. (idea via @frasmage) we'll see how it bears out in play – it seems really good, but mitigated since enemies have to decide to activate it

UA Ranger – Multiclass UA ranger with PHB ranger
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Could you multiclass the PHB ranger with today's Unearthed Arcana variant? #dnd #dnd5e #sageadvice
— Nerd Immersion (@nerdimmersion) September 10, 2015
The multiclass rules aren't built for mixing the same class with itself. https://t.co/skRzO8ONGB

Why Rune Magic as Prestige Class?
@BarantorLove Runic magic but why not make different archetypes rather than a 5 level PrC? a prestige class is open to any character – other path requires strict class/flavor links. any class can master runes

Dragonmark same spell
@RChiesa07A question about the talent Dragonmark (UA) : If I already own the spell that the brand gives me I can choose another? #dnd5th I'd say yes
