[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 8898744, member: 86051"] OK Er, yes, I liked the difference and the current text is what I was aiming for. Pray forgive the confusion. :) OK but note that this excludes sprites and imps (5EMM, p. 6). I suppose specifying size along such lines as "2 1/2 foot or larger" would be undesirable given typical 5E wording? Maybe "size Tiny or bigger" since 5EMM defines size T as 2.5x2.5 ft? Hmm..., come to think of it, perhaps it doesn't really matter that DW traps don't activate to attack sprites or imps or similarly small creatures. Bah! Another one I didn't see earlier, although perhaps it doesn't matter in English. Starting with "A dragon tooth" singular and then switching to plural in the next sentence is perhaps undesirable? "A [I]dragon tooth[/I] is a reptilian fang three to six inches long, small enough to fit in a pocket. Usually found in pairs or sets of four, [I]dragon teeth[/I] are all canine teeth from a deceased dragon of young age or older, (...)" On the other hand, this doesn't feel as right as I would have thought either. "dragon warrior"? "warrior"? "... warrior, and the tooth is wasted"? Too much? "dragon warrior"? "warrior"? Pff! Please remind me to never say "good to go" again! :) [/QUOTE]
