#1 zagora_01 Oct 20, 2014 7:45:35	I just read a compiled list of twitter posts. As presented here: http://thesageadvice.wordpress.com   I could not believe how much they contradicted themselves. This was especially true about reactions. Not just mearls either but Jeremy as well. It was so bad I would recommend they just don't answer questions.     They mentioned an upcoming FAQ. Any idea when that will come out?
#2 FFSAA Oct 20, 2014 8:07:29	Will the FAQ be any better?  This is a true DIY-ADIB (and do it better) edition.
#3 iserith Oct 20, 2014 8:12:07	I think a lot of the time they answer questions as if they are making a ruling at their own table, which is what every DM is expected to do. This means there will be some variation on those rulings, DM to DM, table to table.   In a game that expects the DM to make more rulings, it's time for every DM to step up his or her game.

In a few of their posts, you will see that they even change their decision after reading the actual rules. As such, twitter rulings are probably the worst place to gater information about how the game actually works.

Can you point out specifically what you are referring to, and why it is a problem?   I not only read quite a bit but I did a search specifically for "reaction" to see what you referring to there and not a single result came up.
#11 zagora_01 Oct 20, 2014 21:52:02	Actually,   I owe people an apology. My statement took into account that the reaction attacks granted by Mag Slayer and Sentinal were Opportunity attacks. They are not. There are still issues I have with their posts, but it is not enough to continue with this thread.   This was not meant to be a hate thread. It was meant to bring awareness to the fact that people are looking for a hard rulling on some issues. Mainly because of organized play (which is big in the SF Bay Area). We need something more than "Its the DM's call".

It looks really fun."   ...but organized play involving the wrong sort of people (whether DM, player, or even store owner/employee) is pretty much the worst possible thing for the hobby because it doesn't simply not create curiosity about the game, it scares away curious potential fans leaving them with a tale of an unfun experience to share with anyone that ever asks them about the game later on.
#19 Siphersh Oct 21, 2014 5:54:35	But why would concretizing rules that are free for interpretation as per the RAW make organized play better? Why not just play proper D&D, with the DM acting as an actual DM?
