So which one should Vader be? Because, since it was your example: If you could point to any scene (in any of the 3 original movies) where you think Han had a chance to kowtow Vader, with the equivalent of an intimidate check (with or without this feat-your choice), that would help greatly with...

It would appear not... Show me where I said that. Cuz I'm tired of being strawmanned. Again, no. I've yet to say that a DM tells a player when they can do something. The DM determines what. Not when. Not quite. I also do not ask for a roll when I've determined that the action is an automatic...

Used enough "what", "will", "is" and "need" too...

Your interpretation of how to apply the feat in play is definitely clear. That is for sure. Vader is primarily sword guy. Brilliant. I love it. It would appear so. I just covered this. Absolutely they can. And if you, the DM, want to take it to a die roll because the result is uncertain...

I see a lot of these kinds of hyperbolic examples. In all honesty, I don't see Han's player trying it. How and why? It violates the setting and story buy-in, IMO. Where Han's player declaring he was doing it, IMO, it would be in bad faith. On top of that, I keep hearkening back to the notion...

"Expertise is a problem, trust me on this" != expertise is a problem.

The rules in the book are the only thing that distinguish us from kids playing "Cops n Robbers".

Careful now. It sounds like you are flirting dangerously close to the precipice of a HP=meat debate. And nobody wants that... ;)

Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? I picture it almost more like a variation of blur. Or maybe a minor variant of displacement. Where you are splitting, merging, shifting, and moving through duplicates of yourself tightly within your '5-foot square'. Its not a bunch of illusions of yourself...

And you can change fireball to do cold damage. :) The point is that, once you actually read the spell it might become clear that it does not necessarily work like certain previous editions. That's all. That simple. :)

Bah! I don't believe you. The first time a group of kobolds, or goblins, rushed towards li'l ol' McStabby, and you were able to yell out, "Their after me lucky charm!", the night will have been won right then and there. Provably, scientific fact right there.

Yup. Again, people seem to think the images appear spread out around, or next to, the caster. Like, if using a battlemat, you'd put three additional minis on the map in a conga line or something. In reality, the images are all within the same 5' square (again using battlemat jargon to help with...

<shrug> Okay. I'll defend your right to say that. It's definitely a more reasonable position to take at least. Rather than how I should interpret the feat as working.

What's wrong with... "This here's Prospero McStabby, our halfling mascot. He's our lucky charm!"

You'd think you'd be far more happy to have succeeded in converting an unenlightened rube, such as myself, than this. I mean, I've seen the light. Why aren't you excited about that? You've accomplished something no one has ever managed before around here. You've completely changed someone's...

Do you find these two quotes, from your one post, to be at all at odds? Even a little? Just curious. Because if he's running OotA (a published adventure), yet has decided to repeatedly run a preferred type of encounter*, that is in turn leading to your problems, how is it that a published...

Agreed. Just like... "Some EN posters here have a problem" != systemic problem.

Wow! A hundred more damage per round?!? Holy cow! Yeah, I totally agree! That's broken AF!!!! A whole party doubling their attacks?!? Oh noes! That's scary! Yeah, I totally agree! That's broken as all heck!!!! Oh god, yes. It totally is. Always. Regardless of context or efficacy. It doubles...
