[MENTION=6802079]Herod[/MENTION]ragon33 Are Dragonborn or Draconic bloodline Sorcerer's scales woth anything? Half of them are at least precious metals right?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Totally up to the DM.
[MENTION=24564]Sorcerer[/MENTION]Qzot Can a Sorc 6 flex 6 sorcery points into 4th level spell slot? Sorc 7 flex 7 to 5th level slot?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yes.
[MENTION=6800770]DMVA[/MENTION]rrowe69 Monk using spear @ 17th level for 1d10 damage per hit. Is the spear now Versatile (1d12), or does Martial arts override it?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You decide whether to use the Martial Arts die or the monk weapon's die. No effect on the weapon's properties.
[MENTION=38208]pickle[/MENTION]d_pisces if 2 people are grappling and a 3rd wants to attack 1 of them shouldn't that be at disadvantage since they are tangled?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The grappled condition doesn't assume that those involved in a grapple are tangled up. If they are, DM's call
[MENTION=14196]Oliver[/MENTION]Josefsso Does assassins get advantage on surprised enemies after they have taken their turn though they take no actions?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Assassinate gives advantage against someone who hasn't had a turn yet. Doesn't matter if they act on that turn.
[MENTION=37778]MAZO[/MENTION]shi1987 Divine Sense - The presence of strong evil registers on your senses. does this ability let them Sense alignment's?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Divine Sense does not tell you a creature's alignment.

[MENTION=6705004]MrB[/MENTION]uddyfriend weapons to hit golems have to be adamantine AND magical?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford To deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing dmg. to a golem, an attack must be magical or made with adamantine.

@launcelot69 What happens if you have both the Great Weapon Fighting style and the Savage Attacker feat?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford If you use Savage Attacker with Great Weapon Fighting, the latter lets you reroll 1s and 2s in both rolls.
[MENTION=5875]dan[/MENTION]_Dillon_1 Do Wild Shaped druids or polymorphed creatures count as "shapechangers" for Moonbeam, or only things w/ (shapechanger) tag?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A creature must be designated—with a tag or other text—as a shapechanger to count as one.
[MENTION=19537]Forge[/MENTION]r_f Fog Cloud=heavily obscured. I ranged attack enemy in Cloud from outside Cloud. Adv or Adv/Dadv canceling each other out?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Advantage and disadvantage always cancel each other.
[MENTION=9002]two[/MENTION]oshorten Can mc Druid 19 + Wizard 1 scribe 9th level wizard spells into their book and prepare them since they have 9th level slots?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The PH errata says you must be able to prepare a spell to add it to your spellbook
[MENTION=1871]Gilwen[/MENTION]live Can dispel magic end a prismatic wall and all of it's effects with one casting of dispel magic?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Only the violet layer of prismatic wall is affected by dispel magic and only after the other layers are gone.
[MENTION=44305]da[/MENTION]ckeStaffan I have init 18. On 20 a sphinx rerolls my initiative and I roll 22. Do I get an action now or not until 22 next round?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The sphinx's lair action changes your initiative to whatever you roll. In the example, you act on 22, not 18.

@jaa0109 What if a Water Elemental uses its move to repeatedly go through the Vampires space?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A water elemental is a creature, not a body of running water (a stream, a river, a waterfall, or the like).
[MENTION=25643]ca[/MENTION]naDutchian But an elemental that is made of water, and runs, would that not be a running body of water?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford It would, indeed. Running body of water =/= body of running water.
[MENTION=27980]Dylan[/MENTION]Rubini could i spray bottle a vampire like a cat?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Spritzing a vampire is only going to make it hiss, roll its eyes, or both.
[MENTION=20989]bobby[/MENTION]Barbarian do all enchantment spells count as charm spells for effects that resist or modify charm spells?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford "Charmed" in the game refers to the charmed condition, not to spells that belong to the school of enchantment.

@Orethalion Fireball states it ignites flammable unattended items. Does it have any effect on held or worn items of a target?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford No.

@AnibalCarbajo If a cleric has invoke duplicity on, and is restrined, Can he cast from the image?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford With Invoke Duplicity, the cleric must still be able to perform a spell's components
[MENTION=34874]dungeon[/MENTION]left Does a Wall of Force prevent you from targeting a creature on the other side with a spell like Hold Person?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford With a spell, you can't target a creature behind total cover, unless the spell says otherwise (PH, 204).

@LavRem01 question. Can the creator of a Simulacrum order it to follow someone else's orders ?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You can tell your simulacrum to listen to someone else, but you can't cede your control
[MENTION=20989]bobby[/MENTION]Barbarian Does the movement from Dissonant Whispers provoke opportunity attacks? The creature uses its reaction to move.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford You provoke an opportunity attack if you leave a foe's reach using your movement, action, or reaction
[MENTION=20989]bobby[/MENTION]Barbarian Would you take damage from the second part of Booming Blade if you fail a save against Dissonant Whispers and move away?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Booming blade hurts you if you move away willingly. Dissonant whispers forces you to move—doesn't trigger BL
[MENTION=6778156]Brail[/MENTION]Says lore wise/in world,how would you describe "willing creature" spells? mental request?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The creature's will helps fuel the spell.
[MENTION=47144]Dimitris[/MENTION]andjus If a creature inside a darkness spell throws a ranged attack and his opponent is not in melee does he gain adv on attacks?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Advantage (invisible) and disadvantage (blinded) cancel each other.

[MENTION=7314]darth[/MENTION]reaper can a moon druid/totem barb rage while in wildshape?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Nothing prevents a druid/barbarian from using Rage in beast form.

‏@mpetruzz The disarm maneuver drops the item at the target’s feet. They can pick it up free and still attack. Seems like limited use
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford If you use the maneuver on your turn, you can pick up the dropped weapon.

@TBiggs89 If a creature, i.e. construct, is immune to psychic damage, does Vicious Mockery still impose DIS on next att on a fail?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Vicious mockery: the second effect isn't reliant on the psychic damage getting through
[MENTION=6698531]plancktum[/MENTION] Question regarding the Ranger's Companion: Is the prof. bonus of the ranger applied to all saves or only proficient ones?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Just the ones it's proficient in.
[MENTION=54799]bj[/MENTION]Nemeth What happens to a Drow poisoned weapon if a PC takes it after battle? How long does Drow poison remain on a blade?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The DM decides if a monster's equipment is usable by someone else and how that gear functions (see MM, 11).

@CHewBobcca Turn the Faithless Channel Divinity says targets must HEAR the character while other Oaths say targets can see OR hear 1/2
@JeremyECrawford It's the story of the feature—words painful for a fey or fiend.

@Vikke064 Does the mount come with saddle etc included?
@JeremyECrawford Find steed doesn't outfit the summoned steed. The spell would say if it did.

@Raymondhweiss what's loose earth for the mold earth cantrip? Not stone, or a more specific type of dirt structure?
@JeremyECrawford Think dirt, not stone.

@DaRyllKinch hi dose the barbarians rage resistance work vs magic weapons or spells that deal damage he resists? (like monk's fist's)
@JeremyECrawford Rage gives you resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage—no matter the source of that damage

@LeMothdust can a rouge declare dodge and still hide?
@JeremyECrawford Yes.

@TheThirdFlash Settle a debate? Does "creature" as applied to hold monster, affect everyone except undead? Such as halfling PC's?
@JeremyECrawford "Creature" refers to characters and monsters alike

 

[Edwin Suijkerbuijk]

@keithcurtis does a familiar summoned by Pact of Chain follow MM rules for familiar variants, or is that a different thing?
@JeremyECrawford The familiar variants in the Monster Manual are for monster and NPC spellcasters. PC spellcasters use the PH

@Jefferyclark Would spiritual weapon constitute enough of an enemy to allow advantage for flanking?
@JeremyECrawford No.

@saunaNotSawna When I replace my Pact of the Tome Tome, does it come back with all of my rituals/cantrips still in it?
@JeremyECrawford Yes.

@zarconistPreist I need an answer on this! Can Carefull Spell work on Contact Other Plane to protect me from the sanity-shattering effects?
@JeremyECrawford You can't use Careful Spell on yourself (it says "other creatures").

@MissBoJangles1 1/2 Monk/warlock with devil's sight and awakened mind opens on a target in the darkness spell. Can he communicate with his
@JeremyECrawford Being told where an invisible creature is doesn't nullify the benefits of being invisible.
@MissBoJangles1 but being seen does negate the benefits of being invisible, and with a communication system capable of pinpointing exactly
@JeremyECrawford Awakened Mind doesn't let you share your senses with someone else. You're just speaking through it.

@Eightspancrow If a monster has 2 different reaches, when does it get opportunity attacks? Like the roc's talons at 5 feet and beak at 10.
@JeremyECrawford If you have more than one reach, a foe provokes an opportunity attack when it leaves any of them.

[MENTION=14853]Tom[/MENTION]_BeastMode13 how is Ki pronounced for a monk in DnD? Our dm says it's called chi but we know he's wrong
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford "Ki" is pronounced "kee.
[MENTION=6716498]CharlesHo[/MENTION]rikami "kee" pronounced "Key?"
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yep.
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford If you have 100 hp or fewer, power word kill causes you to die. Notice that it doesn't say you drop to 0 hp.
[MENTION=13340]AI[/MENTION]ratome So what is PHB pg. 66 "You automatically revert if.....drop to 0hp, *or Die* ." telling us? Form dies, Druid reverts, yes?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Beast form ends if the druid dies; things like power word kill can end you without reducing hit points.
[MENTION=6802079]Herod[/MENTION]ragon33 just noticed, one of the spells in the EE companion is not in alpha order, who do I tell, if tell at all?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford It's on our radar. Create bonfire defies the tyranny of the alphabet!
[MENTION=4650]Lord[/MENTION]_Sicarious what is a lycanthrope's true form? I feel Moonbeam suggests it's the beast form, but reversion on death implies humanoid.
&#8207 [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford A lycanthrope's stat block tells you which of its forms is its true form.
[MENTION=6804468]leonardoraele[/MENTION] Can you target an invisible creature which you know the position with a spell like Hold Person?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Hold person says you must see the target. If a spell says that, sight is, indeed, required.

 

[Edwin Suijkerbuijk]

[MENTION=6800770]DMVA[/MENTION]rrowe69 I thought that rage specifically called out resistance to nonmagical B,P,S damage from weapons?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Rage: "You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage" (PH, 48). There are no restrictions.
[MENTION=11126]DaR[/MENTION]yllKinch ty for this been looking for it for awhile so even if the damage is from a spell it can be resisted?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Yes.
[MENTION=10]Chris[/MENTION]jcxa When I have the War Caster feat and a cantrip with a 120 ft range, what is my reach for opportunity attacks with it?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The War Caster feat relies on your normal reach for the opportunity attack.
[MENTION=40886]Dj[/MENTION]Ryyo Cast witch bolt and in the next turn cast sanctuary. The automatic damage from witch bolt cancel sanctuary?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford RAW: witch bolt exploits a loophole in sanctuary. RAI: witch bolt's damage ends sanctuary.
[MENTION=6799132]nomad737[/MENTION] If a human is reincarnated, do they lose their bonus feat and skills?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford If the reincarnate spell changes your race, you lose all your original racial traits and gain new ones.

@ximoquiim can you continue raging if you are polymorphed into a creature?
[MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford The answer depends on the effect that does the polymorphing.

 

[Edwin Suijkerbuijk]

@BarryZanone Can a Wild Shape Bear use Martial Arts after attacking with multi attack, provided it has its attack & bonus action still?
@JeremyECrawford Martial Arts relies on the Attack action, not the Multiattack action.


@BRoekjw I cast Demiplane; enter the room; let the door expire. Do I have a way of getting back? And what if the door's dispelled?
@JeremyECrawford The spell's description tells you: you're trapped, but you can cast the spell again to reopen the door.
@BRoekjw Thanks! Before I cast again, caster X visits my demiplane. Does my new door go to his original location or mine?
@JeremyECrawford You open a door to a new demiplane, to one you created before, or to one you're familiar with that was created by someone else.

@JMMatuku Do monsters' Multiattacks still need to draw the weapons? e.g. Gladiator, first turn 2 throws, second only 1?
@JeremyECrawford The gladiator's Multiattack assumes it can make two ranged attacks with spears each time that action is used.

@TadenRif how will work Arcane Ward + Armor of Agathys: AoA triggers when any attack hits or only when AW is depleted ?
@JeremyECrawford The cold damage of Armor of Agathys is triggered by you being hit, not by you taking damage

@Jakers_91 If you cast suggestion on a target does the target know they've had an enchantment cast on them as with charm person?
@JeremyECrawford I'll take this up in a future installment of Sage Advice!
