@GromHoll @JeremyECrawfordSentence in “Suggestion” spell (and others) contains V component or needs additional words? contains V component

@MtS_Designer @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford Whats right: (sentence in suggesion spell = V) or (sentence in suggesion spell + V)

— GromHoll (@GromHoll) September 26, 2015

Verbal components are mystic words (PH, 203). The spell’s suggestion is a separate, intelligible utterance. #DnD https://t.co/bADKXnpodN

Doesn’t this contradict the spell’s description of a creature being aware of the spell being cast on them *after* the spell has ended?You must be thinking of a different spell. That's not in the suggestion spell.

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD Spellcasting focus. Can a bard use their voice for this? Or a dance?

— Matthew Roderick (@tazyMatt) September 11, 2016

A spellcasting focus subs for a material component. Your voice is a verbal component. Dance would be somatic. #DnD https://t.co/lvmvyPiALw

That doesn’t make sense, the voice is an instrument. The music definition of instrument is an object or device for producing musical sounds. The rule on a bard's spellcasting focus (PH, 53) refers to the sorts of musical instruments that appear in the PH equipment chapter.

@PhilippMordashe MM says that beholder zombie’s eye rays are magical. Does that mean that you can use Dispel Magic to end paralyzing ray effect? yes

— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) October 24, 2016

@PhilippMordashe great to know! But what is the target DC to end the effect? For spells it’s 10+spell level, but paralyzing ray doesnt have level I'd use 10 + creature CR

— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) October 24, 2016

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford would it also be viable to use the DC for the effect itself?

— Emmanuel Acosta (@EmmanuelBAcosta) December 21, 2016

@mikemearls @EmmanuelBAcostathat’s a good approach Dispel magic has no effect on something that isn't a spell. But if a DM rules otherwise, this works.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 21, 2016

@EmmanuelBAcosta @mikemearlshmm… so the “magical effect” described on the spell HAS to come from another spell? That's correct.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 21, 2016

@EmmanuelBAcosta @mikemearls No problem!

@JeremyECrawford Just my monthly ask about whether Careful Spell can be used with Cloudkill?

— Eric Green (@quadhund) March 9, 2017

Careful Spell is used the turn you cast a spell and is intended to affect saving throws made that turn. #DnD https://t.co/QK1QurR4FO

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 10, 2017

@aweeks007so careful fireball should mean your protected targets take half damage? *cough* #wafflecrew That's correct.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 10, 2017

This has got to be the worst RAI ruling I’ve ever seen. Careful spell is now compatible with 5 sorcerer spells that don’t do damage. Careful Spell works with fireball, lightning bolt, and many other spells.
