So, really? You think a player of a 2014 dwarf PC who says their character doesn't understand Dwarvish is breaking a rule?!

Are you saying it's impossible under the 2014 rules to play a dwarf that doesn't understand Dwarvish? I don't think that's a correct statement for the same reasons I've already expressed about the alleged impossibility of playing a dwarf without having your dwarf speak Dwarvish. According to the...

The character was described as speaking, and last I checked the rules, the player is in control of what the character does.

No, this is what you described: If it says "proficient in Dwarven" on the PC's character sheet, but the PC never speaks Dwarven in the game, then the PC is not speaking Dwarven. If it says "proficient with light hammers and warhammers" on the PC's character sheet, but the PC never wields one of...

This is false. There is no requirement for your dwarf PC to ever utter a word of Dwarven. That weapon list is redundant. Very few characters would ever use all of them, which shows you don't have to use any of them. Which doesn't prevent your PC from having a low Constitution, Strength, or...

This is what you said: Assuming you're in control of creating and playing your character, how do any of the rules you've quoted above prevent you from putting low scores in Strength, Constitution, and Charisma or however you want to model being skinny and nerdy and what compels you to portray...

This seems like an intentional misunderstanding of the 2014 rules. I mean, what about them suggests there couldn't be a dwarf like that?

The body of Mariano Isacama Feliciano, leader of the Kakataibo community in Peru, was found Sunday with signs of torture after being missing for over three weeks.

Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, civil rights activist, scholar, and musician who started the vocal ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock and co-founded the Freedom Singers and the Harambee Singers, died Tuesday at the age of 81.

Peter Buxtun, the U.S. government whistleblower who exposed the Tuskegee syphilis study, has died at 86.

Right, you don't have to be able to see the target. It could be dark, for example, even though there's a clear path. Yes, I think calling it a day is the correct response to that podcast. He's just incorrect on a number of points I've already gone over, but there's really no contradiction in...

My preference is for religion to be mostly invisible, like it is in Tolkien's legendarium in which, for example, there are presumably people who believe in Eru, but there are almost no churches or temples to speak of, and you hardly ever see anyone worshipping him. In practice, I let the...

First, I don't think the rules of D&D are made to handle the existence of a mundane wall of bulletproof glass. Anything like that (i.e. something magical) is going to have its own rules attached to it that spell out any exceptions it has from the normal rules for the ways objects interact with...

What discussion is that, though? The tweet you posted is a straight up rules-clarification question. Crawford's response says nothing about intent. He just gets the rules (according to me) wrong. I also listened to the discussion you posted about having a clear path to the target. The part at...

I misinterpreted you then because, while I understood that you agreed a transparent pane of glass does not conceal a target, you also seemed to be saying it was "clear" from context that concealment is not required for total cover according to the rules, which of course is false. It wasn't clear...

I appreciated the tweets he made early on to clarify RAI when the published rules fell short of that, but once the errata were published, he switched to giving RAW interpretations only which I have found lacking to say the least.

With all due respect to Jeremy Crawford, his rulings aren't the greatest. A pane of glass won't stop an arrow or a sword blow, so it is neither an "obstacle" on the order of the examples given (i.e. walls, trees, creatures) in the rules for cover, nor does it offer concealment.

Or maybe the use of the word concealed was intentional which would explain why no erratum has been issued to change the text according to your preference, which could have easily been accomplished by substituting a word with a different meaning.

I agree about misty step, but disagree that a transparent window constitutes total cover. Yes, bold text added: Total Cover A target with total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target...

I’m not familiar with sheet play as a term. From context, I would assume it means something like the oft-cited "pushing buttons on a character sheet", but could someone maybe define the term or confirm if my intuition is correct? I don't get the difference. Who is doing the assuming here if...
