Volo’s Guide to Monsters
Thoughts on handling Tabaxi characters using the trees in the Chult?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD thoughts on handling Tabaxi characters (climb speed 20ft) using the trees in the Chult to get around the ground encounters?
— Stan Kovach (@Riverbaine) July 21, 2017
I think that's cool. What's the point of being good at climbing if you can't leave your friends behind to get eaten? #wotcstaff https://t.co/paHyM7tMk6

Would Grungs from Volo’s fit into Strahd?

That depends on whether you think frog people belong in a Gothic horror setting. Ultimately, that's for the DM to decide. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/bfTarMyU7a

Which Arcane Tradition and which Roguish Archetype would Volothamp be?
Hello! In the same line: which Arcane Tradition and which Roguish Archetype would Volothamp be, please? In 5e Volo's most likely Arcane Tradition: Abjuration, and Roguish Archetype: Mastermind. However, Conjuration + ArcaneTrickster possible.

Thank you very much, Mr. Greenwood!
In my next home run game (as the DM) I would like to render him as accurately as possible as a NPC.Ah! Know this: like certain others (Manshoon, the Chosen) Volo is useful to Mystra, so it's very hard to kill him (last-second magical aid).— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 25, 2017
That DOESN'T mean he won't have scrapes, screw up, or go through pain and injury and so on: Mystra last-second-rescues him, NOT coddling.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 25, 2017
She doesn't guide him, or answer his ongoing "what should I best do next?" queries; he's on his own. And he's a scamp.

Kenku “have a talent for learning and memorizing details”…
Kenku “have a talent for learning and memorizing details”, but mechanics back up mimicry, not recall. Seems…asking a Kenku for an Int check to recall sounds and phrases would be fair. Or would you just roll that into a single Deception check?
— neologiker (@neologiker) June 10, 2017
I'd go with deception to mimic something, would allow kenku to recall details without a roll

Does the ‘Substitute Bonds’ can be applied to the monsters’s bonds from Volo Guide to Monsters?

If you were recreating Volothamp in 5e what would you put him at for class, race, level?
@Hayate_MasaruIf you were recreating Volothamp in 5e what would you put him at for Class, race, background, level? He's IN the 5e Realms! See Volo's Guide To Monsters, Dungeonology, and certain issues od Dragon Plus (mid-level wizard and low-level rogue)
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 15, 2017
@Hayate_MasaruPerfect, been looking around but was having trouble finding decent info on the subject. Thanks. A pleasure! 8th or 9th level wizard, 3 or 4th eogue…and a bunch of ODD (and I do mean odd) magic items. Including a healing ring.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 15, 2017
@Hayate_MasaruYour awesome! Thanks for the tips my group may love or hate me now lol. A pleasure! Remember, Volo has the darndest luck for staying alive. Through crazy pratfalls and insane coincidences. Mystra's on his side!

What does initiative count 20 mean?
@JeremyECrawford What does initiative count 20 mean? Specifically for Hag Lair actions (Volo's Guide).
— Dennis Sugrue (@densugrue) February 26, 2017
"Initiative count X" refers to an initiative of X, with a nod to the fact that you're counting down through the numbers. #DnD https://t.co/9TEK78cXx7
