[MENTION=13340]AI[/MENTION]ratome Can Warding Bond have multiple active casts if mats are fulfilled? 3 SETS of rings divided out = 3 ongoing separate spells?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You can maintain warding bond on multiple creatures at once if you have a pair of the rings for each casting
[MENTION=19054]Jarr[/MENTION]ed_caldwell How many pages does a spell take up in a spellbook? Can't find it in the books.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford There's no rule for the number of pages a spell takes up in a spellbook. Up to you and your DM.

@AnibalCarbajo Is it possible for a warlock w/voice of the chain master, to cast a V only spell from his familiar?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A familiar can deliver a touch spell for you. The components don't make a difference.
[MENTION=6778156]Brail[/MENTION]Says How specific does knowledge of Demiplane require to get into one made by someone else?Preventable by adding a new item?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Up to the DM.

‏@SlumberingGiant Confused w/Silent Image. If I make a solid boulder on my teammate can see out but still be hidden?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yes.

[MENTION=7314]darth[/MENTION]_dom Can you take an AoO on a party member? Say he was fleeing because he was frightened, could you trip him?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford An opportunity attack is triggered by a foe. (The game won't break if a DM lets it work against an ally.)
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Without a special ability, you can't trip someone with an opportunity attack, which is a plain melee attack.

@MtS_Designer Wild Shape have the "magically" word into description, what happens to a druid that enters a antimagic field?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Wild Shape is suspended in an antimagic field.
[MENTION=77780]sev[/MENTION]eroc the feet "elemental mastery" works on habilities like "Hearth of the Storm" from Stormbor
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The Elemental Adept feat benefits spells. The Heart of the Storm feature isn't a spell.

@trueDaleCooper One With Shadows: Since u can't take Hide action during it, can u even stealth with it? Do enemies auto-know where u are?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford One with Shadows confers the benefits of being invisible. You are right that it doesn't also make you silent.
[MENTION=6800770]DMVA[/MENTION]rrowe69 For Paladin/Sorcerer if I cast gflame blade and use Divine Smite, does the smite apply to both creatures?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Divine Smite works only on the creature you hit.

@KooperKoushiro Is the extra 1d8 damage from the Ranger's Colossus Slayer mandatory if the conditions are met? (For example, friendly fire)
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You choose whether to deal the extra damage of Colossus Slayer.
[MENTION=6747039]Oak[/MENTION]ForTheVines do the bonus action attacks from Martial Arts and Flurry of Blows add modifier to dmg? Or are they like 2-weapon fighting?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford When making a weapon attack, you add your ability modifier to the damage, unless a feature tells you not to

@Jmnc4Dnd Can the Weapon Master feat be used to gain proficiency with natural weapons? Or even just "Claw" or "Bite" proficiency?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford As clarified in the PH errata, Weapon Master gives you proficiency with simple/martial weapons only.
[MENTION=1314]Drew[/MENTION]Flashy1 if a dragon is dancing from Otto's Irresistible dance, is it able to use it's Leg. Act. "Wing attack" to move half its fly?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Otto's irresistible dance: the dragon could use Wing Attack and then fly in place. It's gotta dance!
[MENTION=5788]me[/MENTION]020778 Also, what about rogues with two weapon fighting feat using a shield as offhand weapon and getting +3 to ac?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Dual Wielder works with melee weapons. The game doesn't classify a shield as a melee weapon.

@VRomero2218 When someone casts Absorb Elements, does he take full damage from the attack he is reacting to?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The absorb elements spell works against the spell that triggers it.
[MENTION=82492]MP[/MENTION]etruzz Can a blade pact warlock use the weapon ritual on a non-magic weapon so they have a real weapon instead of a conjured one?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford No.
[MENTION=55602]BRADLEYa[/MENTION]ngelli If a Beholder's disintegration ray disintegrates a target, does it impose the same restriction on ressurection as the spell
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yes.
[MENTION=24945]DMH[/MENTION]eartstrings If a stat is increased due to a magic item, is that sufficient enough to multiclass? If the score is decreased is it lost?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The intent is that you must qualify for multiclassing with your own scores, not with a temporary boost.

@HoughtonAl do PCs need to take a long rest before leveling up? I've assumed that but I haven't seen anything in the book about it.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford No rule requires a rest before leveling up. The DMG (p. 131) contains a variant that requires days of training.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford As DM, I time the acquisition of levels to take place when the characters have a chance to rest and take stock.

[MENTION=73944]zar[/MENTION]conistPreist Stuff 3 people in a bag of holding. Dimension door somewhere else. Dump them out. Works?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yes.

@curbstompt13 for the find steed spell what constitutes a spell that targets only you any spell with you as it's only target or just self
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Find steed: a spell you share with your steed must have a range of self (without an area) or target only you.
[MENTION=85177]Dr[/MENTION]DanDanger does a vampire killed by Cone of Cold turn into mist or it remains an ice statue as read in the spell?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Cone of cold can't kill a vampire, unless the vampire is in sunlight or running water.
[MENTION=6803278]TheThirdFlash[/MENTION] My DM thinks Open Hand monk's ability to knock the tarrasque prone is overpowered. Thoughts? Interpretation?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A monk's abilities are preternatural. And the tarrasque can use Legendary Resistance if it fails a save

‏@curbstompt13 your base movement is 30 feet, you stand up from prone and move 15 feet take the dash action and can move 30 more feet yes?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Correct.
[MENTION=73944]zar[/MENTION]conistPreist Do Animated Objects on my person count as creatures for the sake of dimension door?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A construct is a creature
[MENTION=20989]bobby[/MENTION]Barbarian Can a character move into a space occupied by their ally, make an attack from that space, and then move away?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You can't willingly stop moving in another creature's space.

@rox_roberto Can someone pick the lucky feat multiple times?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford No feat can be taken more than once, unless the feat says otherwise. Lucky doesn't say otherwise.

@Tobbun If an effect gives disadvantage to all saving throws, would this include death saves?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A death saving throw is indeed a saving throw. If all saves are affected by a thing, death saves are affected
[MENTION=6796836]Hen[/MENTION]drix So then the spell Bless also effects Death Saves?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The bless spell benefits saving throws. A death saving throw is a saving throw.
@fau_pas paladin aura works too?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Aura of Protection benefits saving throws. A death saving throw is a saving throw
[MENTION=84795]MrA[/MENTION]ceofNY does that mean an item that grants +1 to saving throws adds to Death saves as well?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford If an item grants a bonus to all saving throws, it benefits death saving throws, which are saving throws
@bonnidle So the Diamond Soul feature gives a monk proficiency on death saving throw + ki point to reroll? my players will love it.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Diamond Soul grants proficiency in all saves and lets you reroll a save. A death saving throw is a save

 

[Faraer]

[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Without a special ability, you can't trip someone with an opportunity attack, which is a plain melee attack.

Eh?

 

[Mouseferatu]

Eh?

He's saying that when you make an opportunity attack, it must be a normal/standard attack, unless you have a special ability that states otherwise. You can't sub in a shove/grapple/etc. (Presumably because it's not "taking the attack action on your turn," which is a requirement for most of those "do X instead of attacking to damage" options.)

 

[Edwin Suijkerbuijk]

Eh?

Using the Attack action, you can make a special melee attack to shove a creature, PHB page 195.

there is a diference between using the attack action and making a attack.

Wait...is JC trying to say that death saves are saves..? Why doesn't he just say it instead of beating around the bush?
