@IvanCortez_ : if A monk uses 2 handed quarterstaff does it still use +dex, +prof for hit and +dex for damage?
@MikeMearls : yes

@bbarlach : can a creature move thorough a proned enemy?
@MikeMearls : yes

@plibbs : Why does a wild shaped druid get the beast’s Hit Dice? Can they be spent at the end of a short rest?
@MikeMearls : yes

@plibbs : Since elementals don’t require sleep, could lvl 10 Moon Druid stay in elemental form during a long rest without sleeping?
@MikeMearls : yes - would still need to be inactive to get long rest benefits

@plibbs : How hard is it for a PC to get a tuning fork for Plane Shift? Can they be crafted easily? (eg make one to return to a demiplane)
@MikeMearls : dm call really - how commonplace is such travel in a campaign world?

@danielceagle : Does Warlock's "Awakened Mind" power allow PC to create singing or music in the mind of another, or only words and phrases?
@MikeMearls : just words or phrases

@ItsZagur : can a player delay their initiative to extend an effect that ends at the begging of their turn? Thanks
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls : Nope - there is no delay action in 5th edition precisely to stop such shennanigans.

@htx_copeland84 : does defensive fighting style stack with unarmored defenses? if no, what if they are wearing a shield? ie: shields count?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls : nope - armor is separate from shield, and unarmored defenses do not count

[MENTION=6794638]MA[/MENTION]galor42 : witchbolt+spellsniper. does the range you must stay within to keep the spell connected to a creature increase or is it constant?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls : it increases, because in this case WB specifically refers to range and not to a static number
‏
@TadenRif : a monk kicking and shoving a creature by sweeping its legs does get his bonus unarmed strike ?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls : yes - that replaces one of your attacks

@PMRenault can an incapacitated pc take a bonus action? Ex: fighter at 0hp taking second wind?
@JeremyECrawford : "Anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you from taking a bonus action" (PH, 189).

@Misterkoshev : Is it possible to take a Dodge Action and a Bonus Action (for using a spell already cast) in the same turn?
@JeremyECrawford : Yes. Nothing in the Dodge rule or the bonus action rule prevents you from doing both on the same turn.

@LordCyler :Can you confirm/deny that the extra damage from Hex only applies if there is an attack roll?
@JeremyECrawford The extra damage in the hex spell requires an attack that hits, which is normally acheved with an attack roll.

‏@GrumblinGrandpa is there a section of the PH or DMG that handles damage reduction? Can attacks be reduced to zero? Or is the minimum one?
@JeremyECrawford There is no damage minimum in the rules, so it is possible to deal 0 damage.

@Jesterpunch Does the movement from a dragons Wing Attack legendary action draw attacks of opportunity if it moves out of reach?
@JeremyECrawford Nothing in Wing Attack protects the dragon from opportunity attacks.

[MENTION=38208]pickle[/MENTION]d_pisces probably get this a lot but can a rogue get sneak attack damage against undead as long as it meets all requirements?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yep, Sneak Attack works against undead. Jeremy

[MENTION=9141]Revenant[/MENTION]_Fury Metamagic rules state you can't use multiple Metamagic options on a single spell. Can you use one option, multiple times?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The intent is that a sorcerer can use a Metamagic option once with a spell, not the same option more than once.

[MENTION=6788866]Jesterpunch[/MENTION] would an elf get a saving throw vs a Philter of Love as it's charm? The desc implies there is no save?
&#8207 [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford There is no save against the philter of love. The love is just that strong.

‏@zolt4r Multiclass (monk/battlmstr): can I apply on the same attack Monk’s Stunning Strike + Martial Adept’s Trip Attack?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You sure can! Jeremy Crawford heeft toegevoegd,

[MENTION=72432]Karl[/MENTION]Dotenswine For readying a spell or other action, does the target have to be in range?
&#8207 [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford : The intent is that your target must be within range when you take the readied action, not when you first ready it.

[MENTION=44305]da[/MENTION]ckeStaffan Do spells that deal physical damage count as magical for the purposes of resistances? E.g. Cloud of Daggers vs Deva.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Regardless of damage type, the direct damage of a spell is magical.

[MENTION=76873]DireTribble[/MENTION] is it possible to Ready a spell w/ a casting time of 1 Bonus Action? Or only a spell w/ casting time of 1 Action?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Only a spell with a casting time of 1 action

[MENTION=36527]blues[/MENTION]Light37 Do you feel that Wizards lack a bit in class options outside of their school?
&#8207 [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Wizards have more spell options than any other class. We consider that one of their main class features.

[MENTION=4308]box[/MENTION]voko Regarding the Berserker's axe, when berserking is triggered, can the player still use his move and bonus on his turn or no?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The berserker axe doesn't prevent a bonus action, and you can move freely if you fulfill the attack requirement.
