Per RAW a Grave Domain cleric casing Spare the Dying as a bonus action cannot use their action to cast a spell. Would RAI allow this? It doesn't break anything to allow it. I think the original rule was being way too fiddly in trying to control things.

Xanathar Guide Everything
If you crit as an Arcane Archer and use Exploding Arrow to get an addition 2d6 would that damage also double?
@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

What’s the in-house opinion about options from Sword Coast Adventure’s Guide that weren’t put in Xanathar’s?
what’s the in-house opinion about spells and character options from Sword Coast Adventure’s Guide that weren’t put in Xanathar’s? Were they considered too specific, niche, or thematic with the setting or was it because of power issues or something else?We chose things from the SCAG to put in "Xanathar's Guide" that we wanted to make available for play in the entire D&D multiverse. Other things in SCAG we're happy to leave in the Forgotten Realms, for which they were designed.

Wow, incredibly proud of this. To see both our peers in tabletop RPG design and tabletop gamers pick it is wonderful. I remember reading about the Origins Awards back in the day, never dreamed I'd be part of a team that won them! Much thanks to the Academy for honoring us! https://t.co/Om4OreodFj

The art for Infernal Calling showing a Horned Devil despite the max possible CR for the spell being 10?
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 pic.twitter.com/7OXnKAAaPQ

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

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.

Does using Eldritch Smite with a 5th level slot get you an extra 6d8 force damage?
I just have a quick question about Eldritch Smite in Xanathar’s guide. Does using Eldritch Smite with a 5th level slot get you an extra 6d8 force damage or an extra 5d8? 6d8
