@JeremyECrawford if a caster loses a hand are they still capable of casting spells? Can you "relearn" spells to accommodate a lost limb? — Carson (@Beareaucracry) January 31, 2017 Somatic components require one hand, not two. See "Components" (PH, 203). #DnD https://t.co/C0nFWPkBdT — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 31, 2017

@johnnysmithdnd @mikemearls does reach feature of whips and polearms allow use with cantrips like booming blade, green flame blade at 10′? The reach of those weapons doesn't change the range of those spells. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 8, 2016

@JeremyECrawford Why can't you stack AC methods? Some foes end up with enormous hit bonus. Many things use VS a stat so it seems reasonable — Dude Manguy (@SolarFlairPony) October 15, 2016 AC calculations don't stack (you have AC X + Y), but bonuses to AC do (like from a cloak of protection and a ring of protection). #DnD https://t.co/NZkW7cnfAb — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 15,…

@JeremyECrawford Can you stack a Paladin smite spell with divine smite? As in, cast wrathful smite, hit, then use divine smite on same atk? — David Johnson (@Ceepo_77) March 6, 2016 A paladin can use Divine Smite on the same weapon attack that benefits from a smite spell like wrathful smite. #DnD https://t.co/0m11gBoKLp — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 15, 2016 @JeremyECrawford…

@JeremyECrawford Does a Druid retain his Barkskin spell after he shapeshifts? — John Bard (@dmjohnbard) September 21, 2016 The text of barkskin doesn't say the targeted creature must be humanoid. Changing creature type doesn't end it. #DnD https://t.co/tonualoyBW — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 21, 2016 @JeremyECrawford The issue comes about from the "replace your game…

@JeremyECrawford #dnd5e does the thief rogue's Use Magic Device feature cover the use of spell scrolls? — Jarrad Tatton (@JarradTatton) October 6, 2016 Use Magic Device is intended to work with spell scrolls. #DnD https://t.co/yiyzZ2icit — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 6, 2016

@pukunui81 @gregbilsland @mikemearlsWhy is the Death domain in the DMG? PHB has both assassin and necromancer. Seems arbitrary to me. The Death domain and the Oathbreaker in the DMG were designed for villains. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) October 22, 2014 @pukunui81But what makes a death priest more villainous than an assassin or necromancer? Why aren’t they in the DMG too? As written,…

I have a rules question. Might be more than one tweet. Regarding cunning action disengage, can a rogue use disengage at the START of their turn to move away from a combatant, then move into a space where they are surrounded on 3 sides, re-engage an enemy (attack) And then, because they disengaged at the start of their turn, move away from all three monsters without taking any attacks of…
