Describe the ability as it might appear in the game world, and then describe it in game terms to make it clear.For example, if the characters are fighting a pit fiend, whose aura of fire deals fire damage to creatures within 5 squares, you might tell the players (before their characters come in range), “The heat emanating from the devil is intense even at this distance. You know that getting within five squares of it is going to burn you.”In the first case...'You notice the torch flames occasionally blow away from the Chosen of Imix.  You suspect his resistance against heat and flame might extend beyond his physical reach.'In the second case...'The dream hag steps on the head of a nearby rat, mortally injuring it... five seconds later the dying rat is up, eyes glowing with green light, ready to attack on behalf of its conqueror.'</blockquote>
