How difficult is retrieve one of their dragon masks from Laeral Silverhand’s possession?
@pukunui81How difficult would be for the Cult of the Dragon to retrieve one of their dragon masks from Laeral Silverhand’s possession? Heh. Really hard, considering where they are now. Think: hidden behind subterranean beholders who don't know the masks are there.

@pukunui81 And for "subterranean beholders" think "Waterdhavian crime lords whose names begin with X"

Is magic missile affected by Shield of Missile Attraction?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Is magic missile "ranged" for purposes of being attracted and half damage by Shield of Missile Attraction?
— (((Rob Twohy))) (@rob2e) July 11, 2016
A shield of missile attraction affects ranged weapon attacks. Magic missile isn't a weapon or an attack. #DnD https://t.co/zNVV4xoS6g

@JeremyECrawford As a followup does that mean Fire Elementals are not immune to fire that isn't part of an attack?

What was the reason for not including ability damage, per old editions?
@SethdeReus @mikemearlsWhat was the reason for not including ability damage, per old editions? Any obvious pitfalls to adding it in? Many numbers rely on your ability scores. Monkeying with those numbers in combat can be a bookkeeping nightmare.

About little people
@jacuzziant @ChrisPerkinsDnDGnomes/halflings were never as fleshed out as elves/dwarves. Any light shed on their history as core D&D races? personally, I've always liked gnomes as tinkers and inventors, a little of the Warcraft flavor

Serious D&D Player Chugs Wine Underwater To Settle Rules Dispute
Golden Rule 39 – The game is yours
Reminder: I give rules answers to help DMs decide how to run D&D. My rulings are a tool that you may use or ignore. The game is yours. #DnD
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) July 16, 2016
@Dummyurd I recently had a player quote a tweet of yours to “force” something we handled differently, that was really annoying
My tweets are meant to clarify our design intent. A group gets to decide what to do with that information.

@JeremyECrawford Kinda disappointing that people need to be reminded of this. Even you don't use RAW at every opportunity!
