@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is 'chaotic neutral' the most authentic way to run a cat NPC, or 'chaotic evil'?

Cats are unaligned. No concept of morality or ethos, and they give zero f*cks. https://t.co/fFBPLdhdFf

@JeremyECrawford Does 'it is proficient in' qualifier apply to Beastmaster companion saves & skills or just skills? Can read either way.
— Edward Krusling (@EdKruze) June 23, 2016
Ranger's Companion: if your beast has proficiency in a skill or save, you add your proficiency bonus to it. #DnD https://t.co/bUiFB1IlyC

@DaltonLurnurWould standing up from prone trigger the effects of booming blade? Nope

@JeremyECrawford Can a Hunter's Multiattack Defense trigger/grant its bonus multiple times on the same turn if an creature has 3+ attacks?

Bonuses from the same feature don't stack. #DnD https://t.co/BXrQQ0OBZJ

@kevin_videoQuestion about the Earrings of Whisper everyone has. Do you know the craft breakdown? Would love to add them to my campaign. Consider them crafting a higher end uncommon item each using Sending as the base spell.

@DnDSphinx @JeremyECrawfordDo creatures with a climb speed make Athletics checks? If so, Advantage would be nice-lets make that official. no check needed to climb

@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Does the magic weapon spell work on natural weapons (thinking about beast master rangers specifically)? #dnd
— James Introcaso (@JamesIntrocaso) May 31, 2016
The magic weapon spell targets weapons (PH 146–49), not body parts. A DM can rule otherwise and not break it. #DnD https://t.co/JeMdHcg6z4
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlswait! this would undo every fighter / druid. beast natural atks are melee weapon attacks (q.v.) See the druid's Primal Strike feature.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlsyes, of course, but any precedent that says beast natural is not a weapon has breaking reach. Their attacks count as weapon attacks, but the system doesn't consider their body parts weapons.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 4, 2016
@ofthemagi @JamesIntrocaso @mikemearlswouldn’t that mean every ftr type / drd multiclass is undone, unable 2 use ‘weapon’ abilities? Many fighter abilities rely on a weapon attack or a melee attack. Natural weapons qualify for both.

@mikemearls why are pikes excluded from setting to receive charge in UA: Feats spear mastery? it's what pikes do. https://t.co/lsFwNJxF6t

@katosmullet feat is spear specific – we'd do a pike feat if we expanded on the concept

@JeremyECrawford Alter self + Mind blank Vs Truesight. What wins?
— Cleric-of-Zarconis (@ZarconistPreist) May 3, 2016
Truesight beats alter self and mind blank. But mind blank foils the true seeing spell. #DnD https://t.co/HUKdKDpmpo

@matthewmercer Not sure if you got this earlier, but what happens to the #BloodHunter unarmed strikes Rite when hybrid form expires?

They lose the benefit, as their tiny fingers are largely useless!

@JeremyECrawford Ranger w/Magic Stone, does it work with:
1) Archery Style?
2) Extra Attack?
3) Horde Breaker?
4) Volley?
5) Bestial Fury?— TJA (@Nay_a_no_mi) June 15, 2016
Magic stone works with a feature that benefits attacks in general or ranged attacks, but not weapon attacks. #DnD https://t.co/xXX0lzxuUe

As a DM, how do you deal with a rules lawyer that disrupts the game to argue @ChrisPerkinsDnD @matthewmercer

@JeremyECrawford Do you need Find Familar or Steed prepared in order to use the features? #DnD

A spell's effects last for its duration. The spells you later prepare aren't pertinent. #DnD https://t.co/HF2pDGI6EM

@JDPaladinQuestion: would a DM in AL be allowed to suspend a player’s Paladin abilities for Oath Violation? Temporarily, of course. depends on context, and the effect wouldn't stretch beyond that session, but tentatively yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) July 4, 2016
@JeremyECrawford ooh, I hope we have a way to hear about it if we missed the seminar. Any easier way to set up an encounter?
— SlyFlourish (@SlyFlourish) June 17, 2016
@SlyFlourish I usually use the encounter guidelines only if I'm worried about a TPK or when developing an adventure for someone else to run.

@celanunSo Thunderbolt Strike does not work against Medium creatures, only S or L? To do with weight displacement? It works against a creature that is Large or smaller.

@djanelsDruid wondering, can I wild shape from one animal form right into the next, or do I have to rest as an elf in between? you do not need to shift back to an elf – you can go from beast to beast
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) June 30, 2016
@djanelshow does that work? any reference material I can find/read? someone told me I’m sacrificing my other wild shape? yeah, it does require you to expend a use of wild shape.
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) June 30, 2016
@djanelsawesome. thanks for the clarification. first time player here. happy to help!

@JeremyECrawford Can a PC with mage armor benefit from carrying a shield? Mike Mearls offered an odd explanation.
