@JeremyECrawford Are Tabaxi claws considered finesse weapons?

— Klaumbaz (@Klaumbaz) November 6, 2016

Nothing is a finesse weapon unless it explicitly has the finesse property. Tabaxi claws don't have that property. #DnD https://t.co/ALnizC2dEt

@JeremyECrawford Thats weird, because a lot of monsters in the DMG use claws, and use DEX to calcular their attacks

Using Dexterity with a weapon doesn't make it a finesse weapon. Having the finesse property makes it a finesse weapon. #DnD https://t.co/iNEVhw9SjG

@wetsailIf nothing else, just give it the option to be STR/DEX in the eventual Volo errata. Wouldn’t break balance. It currently works as intended.

@RhysMandrake @wetsailA tabaxi is a lot more like a puma than a housecat. Pumas would more reasonably use Strength, I think. Bingo!

@JeremyECrawford @undrhil @ApocalypticTwit So a Tabaxi can use its' "claws" as an unarmed strike? Specifically with TWF?

Check out the rule for two-weapon fighting (PH, 195). It relies on weapons that have the light property, which unarmed strikes lack. #DnD https://t.co/vALayzVifT

@KooperKoushiro Is the Lizardfolk’s Hungry Jaws trait usable again on the next turn if it misses, or does a miss still expend the use? It's expended if you hit.

@CaptainBigheadArchdruids in Volo’s Guide: “Change Shape” doesn’t mention HP.. is it intentional that they don’t get HP of their new form? It's intentional.

@kenshinzenis the monk movememt bonus can be added to the tabaxi climb movement speed or just the basic movement speed? The former.

@JeremyECrawford does a tabaxi monk get to choose whether their Martial arts unarmed damage is slashing or bludgeoning

— Scott Badalamenti (@Scottbad88) November 14, 2016

An unarmed strike is a punch, kick, etc. A tabaxi can also use claws, which deal slashing damage. Being a monk doesn't change that. #DnD https://t.co/HsyOFYLPkk

@DeanMSimmonsThat’s not clear to me … is a claw attack still unarmed? Are you asking about the tabaxi trait (it explicitly answers your question), or are you asking a general rules question?

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 14, 2016

@DeanMSimmons I’m asking if a tabaxi’s claw attacks still qualify as an unarmed strike – your answer was not clear to me. Have you read the tabaxi's racial trait? I'm trying to see if you find the text unclear or if you haven't read it.

@JeremyECrawford Will the Reincarnate spell have any official update to account for all the new races added in SCAG, EE, and Volos?

— Shervyn Karthanal (@ShervynK23) November 29, 2016

The three core rulebooks—PH, MM, and DMG—don't assume you have any other rulebooks. #DnD https://t.co/6MG2bgANQr

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 29, 2016

@ShervynK23So you’re saying there’s a chance 😛 There's no chance that a spell in the PH would be changed to account for things not in the core books.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) November 29, 2016

@JeremyECrawford But what if I'm playing a Tabaxi Rogue? Wouldn't a cat's claws be considered finesse? 🙂

— Tobias Nordgren (@TobiasNordgren) December 13, 2016

A thing doesn't have the finesse property, or any other weapon property, unless a rule or the DM says the thing has it. #DnD https://t.co/XnyojmJySu
