Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 8884702" data-attributes="member: 57383">A space is unnecessary.The plain ) is correct. In general, both parentheses in a pair should have the same formatting and it usually follows the lead of the first parenthesis.The "Dragonscale Weapon Master (Gold or Red Dragon Warrior Only)." uses italics on both sides because the entire sentence is italic (and bold in this case), so the text both before and after the parentheses is italic. Not that you can tell in the case of the full stop.By contrast, in "If the dragon warrior's dragonscale armor or dragonscale longsword are lost or destroyed (see Dust to Dust)," the sentence is non-italic plain text apart from the emphasized Dust to Dust, so the parentheses should be straight.My first draft tried A but it just looked ugly, so I switched it to a.See for yourself:Dragon Warriors Combat Table<table style='width: 100%'><tr><th>Type </th><th>Element </th><th>Saves & Skills² </th><th>Hit </th><th>Damage (with Longsword) </th></tr><tr><td><a href="https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8876285" target="_blank">Silver</a></td><td>cold </td><td>DEX +4, CON +6, WIS +5, CHA +4 </td><td>+7 </td><td>12 (1d10+1d4+4 slashing) </td></tr></table>1 a green dragon warrior is also immune to the poisoned condition.2 DEX (Stealth) and WIS (Perception) skills are equal to the Saving Throws.vs:Dragon Warriors Combat Table<table style='width: 100%'><tr><th>Type </th><th>Element </th><th>Saves & Skills² </th><th>Hit </th><th>Damage (with Longsword) </th></tr><tr><td><a href="https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8876285" target="_blank">Silver</a></td><td>cold </td><td>DEX +4, CON +6, WIS +5, CHA +4 </td><td>+7 </td><td>12 (1d10+1d4+4 slashing) </td></tr></table>1 A green dragon warrior is also immune to the poisoned condition.2 DEX (Stealth) and WIS (Perception) skills are equal to the Saving Throws.What the blazes?I was sure "if the dragon warrior's melee attack roll is a critical hit or higher than its opponent's melee attack roll" was what it said. Remember having the clunky wording in a first draft and promptly changing it.Never mind, it's an easy fix.The normal 5E wording for Multiattack is along the lines "The aboleth makes three tentacle attacks" so I chose to use makes to follow that precedence.</blockquote>
