@JeremyECrawford I'm sure someone has asked this but I couldn't find a definitive solution. Can you cast feather fall in time with 1 reaction, considering the "Xanathar's guide" rules on falling, where you fall 500ft immediately.

— Gianni Pratico (@Wulfgar15) May 14, 2019

Feather fall, like many things in D&D, creates an exception: it lets you cast a spell as a reaction to slow someone's fall.

If a spell or other exceptional thing in the game says it does something, that's what it does.

Also, any rule in "Xanathar's Guide" is optional. #DnD https://t.co/ELqT7HFv0d

As we used to say in older editions, "specific trumps general". The specific case of falling with Feather Fall trumps the general rules for falling.

In D&D, a specific rule always beats a general rule if they disagree with each other.

For more information about that principle, take a look at the section "Specific Beats General" in the "Player's Handbook" (p. 7). #DnD https://t.co/1eTsemrqPO

"Also, any rule in XGtE I optional." <3 Say it again. Say it louder.

(This is of course above and beyond the "optional" nature of all the rules.)

The official rules of D&D are in the 3 core books. Those rules appear in a shorter form in products like the Starter Set and the free Basic Rules. Any rules that appear elsewhere are optional.

Your DM decides how to use those rules in service to your group's fun. #DnD https://t.co/hTmUQnFORi

@JeremyECrawford Horizon Walker Is Planar Warrior ability need to use bonus each turn to deal Force damage or needed once when you select creature? If need a bonus action every turn, then it negates Dual Wielders fighting style. Intended or oversight?

The Planar Warrior feature intentionally requires a bonus action each time you use it. #DnD https://t.co/etrdUn96lp

Hey @JeremyECrawford, dumb question but you know how D&D nerds love to pick apart rules. Are magic items excluded from benefiting from an adamantium coating via XGE’s rules? TIA

— Chris Chapman (@GammaViking) December 17, 2018

The rule doesn't require the weapon to be nonmagical.

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) December 17, 2018

I think the confusion is on whether you can add adamantine to an existing magic weapon. Nothing in the rule prevents that.

@JeremyECrawford Real Talk, if you crit as an arcane archer and use exploding arrow to get an addition 2d6 would that damage also double?

Bursting Arrow detonates after your attack. It's not affected by a crit. #DnD https://t.co/SbPFqcypY4

Can we talk about the art for Infernal Calling in Xanathars showing a Horned Devil (CR11) being summoned despite the max possible CR for the spell being 10? #dnd my hopes are dashed

Infernal calling can summon a devil of CR 11 if you cast the spell with a 9th-level spell slot and possess that devil’s talisman. Take a look at the end of the spell’s description for more information. #DnD https://t.co/tjhfhKf8Oz

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) April 9, 2018

Ok here is the problem at level 6 you can summon CR7, at level 7 you can summon a CR 8, at level 8 you can summon CR 9 and at Level 9 you can summon a CR10…..so tell me how you get a CR11 creature from level 9? The answer is in my previous tweet: the talisman.

When a Path of the Zealot barbarian has failed all 3 death saves but is still raging with its Rage Beyond Death feature, can they be healed to stable before their rage ends? Yes.
