Slaad tadpole (level 5 lurker) -1d8 Needlefang drake swarm (level 2 soldier) 1d10 +4 or 2d10 +4 when prone.

Does the quality of "Threatening reach" increase the distance of your possible opportunity attacks to your total reach? Or is it just 1 more than current. For instance, I have a reach weapon, a warden polymorph that increases my reach by one, and giantreach gauntlets. And then I have...

See that was his interpretation. But why even have the property then? It just seems... unnecessary. And it (imo) makes the item fairly underpowered for a 4+ item

My DM disagrees with me about the property of the Genasi soul armor found in the adventurer's vault 2. I believe the correct interpretation is that the attunment grants the wearer the bonus(es) presented in the elemental manifestation section of the Genasi racial stat block. For reference...

And as I said a few posts after admitting his point. I only wanted to see if others disagree about a similar situation excepting that it's NOT on the targets turn.

I think there's a big difference between quadrupling the amount of damage they get on a crit and adding any to their max damage.

It's DND but I have characters and organizations from all over media. My party killed voldmeort a few weeks back.

most of my monsters are home brewed, but I do base them of similar monsters in the MM1. For instance I plan on using this attack from a level 12 minion sometime in the next few levels in my campaign. crude lightsaber (standard; at-will) ✦ force +16 vs. AC; 7 force damage. On a crit it will...

The first time I crit with a minion I decided in .2 seconds that when minions crit they do double damage. one of the easiest and best houserules I've ever made.

No, clearly the idea that holy ardor automatically hits, because it lacks the word "can" before the phrase "score a critical hit" is a specific implication against precision.

I have a new saying that applies here imo: A specific implication does not beat a specific rule.

Yeah we did talk about it. Turns out I was fairly bitter about it... lol. It all good now.

I see no reason to interpret it as though it overrides the one action point per turn. I suppose it would be a bad idea to use this power with an action point. The word "must" is 100% for sure intended to indicate that you cannot use it any other turn, not that you are required to spend it and...

I only allow the pcs to take 10 in situations that I don't think will be interesting enough to roll. It happens very rarely.

No, Im saying that if something is overpowered, the solution isn't to give it to everybody. The solution is to nerf or remove it.

So Saeviomagy why not just give all characters an at will destructo beam that obliterates its target and has a static +50 to the attack roll. Its unbalanced when combined with monsters, not between different classes.

Star pact Warlock Vampire.

I'd also like to point out, although I understand that this is NOT the mark of a good dm, that also ruled this way simply because the monster he was attacking was the leader, AND that for the entire campaign (7 sessions or so) where he's had this daily the entire time, he's been telling me the...

Just to point out. A few CDGs from Baphomet would mess pretty much anyone up something fierce (I think its like 8d12 + 46 on a crit). Maybe that's the answer to your problem markn. Just treat all enemy attacks as though they are vicious (and maybe even 1 extra d12 on a crit). This would scale...

In my logic world yeah. It would not function as an attack but as an effect coming from the aura. But that's just how I think. I suppose it does make sense as written, I just think that the line between attack and not attack could be much clearer than wotc has made it.
