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

How does Antimagic Field affect a draconic ancestry sorcerer’s Dragon Wings?
@JeremyECrawford Save a life- How does Antimagic Field or a Beholder's Cone affect a draconic ancestry sorcerer's Dragon Wings? They're not described as a magical effect in the PHB text, so are they like a dragon's breath weapon and would persist? @kurainobara

Curious whether something is magical in D&D? Consult the Sage Advice Compendium, searching for "How do I tell if something in the game is magical?" https://t.co/7uBLqNdn4G #DnD https://t.co/u5Lj7xYqOG

Does Flames of Phlegethos trigger on cantrips, like Fire Bolt?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls quick question, does flames of phlegethos trigger on cantrips, like Fire Bolt?
— Dylan (@DTMN13) April 3, 2018
The second and third benefits of the Flames of Phlegethos feat work with spells that deal fire damage. Cantrips are spells, so a cantrip that deals fire damage benefits from the feat. #DnD https://t.co/6ycGxhW15N

How is the table Life Events by Age used with races like Elf and Dwarf do they automatically get 1d10 life events?
@JeremyECrawford How is the table Life Events by Age used with races like Elf and Dwarf who tend to start with ages greater than 50 or even 100, do they automatically get 1d10 or 1d12 life events? Thanks

The Life Events by Age table in "Xanathar's Guide to Everything" is, indeed, based on your age, regardless of your race. #DnD https://t.co/I3SSOOICNw

Can I cast Wall of Water spell and deal a bunch of damage to fire elementals using the volume of water against them?
@JeremyECrawford Can you l, using the wall of water spell, make a column of water, by making a tall wall of water packed tightly, and deal a bunch of damage to fire elementals using the volume of water against them? Or is that simply a dm discretion thing?
— Mike McDonell (@Stickman404) February 27, 2018
The wall of water spell doesn't deal any damage. If you want to deal damage with it, your DM decides if that use is possible. It's always in the DM's purview if you want to do something with a spell that isn't in the spell's description. #DnD https://t.co/ZrJRfVamCK

This shenaniganry comes from the Water Vulnerability trait. People love to say things like the shape water cantrip instakills a fire elemental because of how many gallons of water are in a 5' cube.
Sometimes I hate the internet. 😛

The Water Susceptibility trait of a fire elemental makes water dangerous to the elemental. The trait doesn't change how spells work, however; if a spell creates water in a certain number of 5' cubes, you can't compress cubes into each other to produce extra gallons of water. #DnD https://t.co/OsPmKRdPE4
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 27, 2018
Yep, but a 5-foot cube of water is 125 cubic feet. 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons, x125 = 935 gallons in a 5 ft. cube, which people equate to "splashing" 935 gallons of water on the elemental for 935 cold damage.
(fixed brainfart math error)

The shape water cantrip doesn’t produce water. It moves water up to 5 feet. Want to use it against a fire elemental? The smart elemental is nowhere near the body of water. #DnD https://t.co/tMeB8TSWfx

A druid who's a member of the Circle of the Shepherd can use Spirit Totem in beast form. #DnD https://t.co/dhdt0YQncr
