oh wow, I was told that it is my 10th anniversary on twitter #twitteranniversary guess I am getting old 👴🏼

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@ConjureDM @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford that is why I am asking. RAW would conclude that this automatically frees a grappled creature. At the cost of a bonus action!

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

Hi @JeremyECrawford TCE Telekinetic Feat allows to "telekinetically shove one creature" for 5 feet. Creatue can willingly fail the connected save. If a creature is being grappled, does it auto-free the creature? Assuming it gets shoved out of range of the grappler?

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@jurgenappelo yes, but does this mean only people who do the facilitator training get access. I am willing to pay for it, just think it is too much as a training for myself

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

Hi @jurgenappelo , my team and I were using these great videos of yours for training https://t.co/kJ2U4U3cSQ Forgive me for maybe missing it: where did the videos go? Help!

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@jurgenappelo any chance that we can figure something out?

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@jurgenappelo thanks for being transparent. I understand.

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@jurgenappelo no, just a practitioner and believer of your content

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@jurgenappelo thanks for the swift reply. I understand. We will sit tight. It is great content 😃

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@GergelyOrosz @LauraMDMaguire @allspaw @evnsio @paulosman @alexasandei @johnwards @drkurta my pleasure, great article and great insights

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@ScottCPrim @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford Thanks Scott, this is what now convinced me!

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

Hi @JeremyECrawford does Freedom of Movement help against the Sentinel Feat effect: "When you hit a creature with an opportunity Attack, the creature’s speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn." cheers

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@JamesBockman1 @illinaryplayer0 @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford It is also my current thinking but looking from the other perspective: Freedom of Movement is a somewhat powerful spell (4th lvl) with the focus on NOT being stopped in your movement. So, hoping we can get clarity on this from Jeremy 😬

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@ymusticare @illinaryplayer0 @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford read the whole thread please, but TL;DR „It’s Magic!“

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@ymusticare @illinaryplayer0 @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford Initially I though the same but I found this https://t.co/12fY0cSlbC

[Keith @Glytched]

@JeremyECrawford So under freedom of movement, a creatures speed can be reduced to 0 (non-magically) but they are able to suspend 5ft to escape? So after that, (if in init.) their speed would still be zero for that turn?

[Marco Melas @mmelas74]

@illinaryplayer0 @SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford Thanks and True, but Freedom of Movement also helps against manacles or being grappled in exchange for 5ft movement. Both not being magical effects. And the RAW state „such as“ which indicates this being examples and not a complete list.
