[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8753718, member: 57383"] Thinking it over, if its [B][I]Pounce[/I][/B] does claws damage followed by either bite or talon damage that's the same amount of injury as its regular Multiattack, plus it's possibly less likely to do that damage as it has to hit with the claws AND knock the target prone to make the second attack. Should the Pounce potentially do more damage than its regular attack options? How about we start it with a Talon attack and then it can bite or claw the prone opponent? Also, a Great Cat's Pounce requires 20 feet of movement (i.e. the SRD [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/leopard/']Leopard[/URL][/B]) not the 30 feet the current Utahraptor uses, I'd favour that distance since we've reduced the dinosaur's speed. So that might make: [INDENT][I][B]Pounce #2.[/B][/I] If the utahraptor moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a talon attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the utahraptor can make one bite attack and one claws attack against it as a bonus action.[/INDENT] Not sure I'd bother with any Advantage on the attack rolls, but if you want to add that in I'd prefer the advantage to be on the triggering Talon attack, so: [INDENT][I][B]Pounce #3.[/B][/I] If the utahraptor moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature it can make a talon attack with advantage against the creature on the same turn. If it hits, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the utahraptor can make one bite attack and one claws attack against it as a bonus action.[/INDENT] I think Version #2 is sufficient myself. What do you reckon? [/QUOTE]
