If you're wielding a two-handed weapon, you deal damage equal to your strength modifier.Now, let's try to turn this power to 5e:Reaping Strike: You punctuate your scything attacks with wicked jabs and small cutting blows that slip through your enemy's defenses. The defender must make a dexterity Saving Throw. If he fail, he suffer 1(W)+Strength modifier damage. If he succeed, he takes half your Strength Modifier damage or equal to your Strength modifier if you are wielding a two-handed weapon.Would the 5e version be acceptable? If not, why?If yes, then why would the 4e version be unacceptable?It has the same narrative: your multiple attacks slip through your enemy's defense.It has the same intention: No matter what happens, the defender can't block every blows you throw at him so you are guaranteed to do at least some damage.It has the same result: The defender will either take full damage or at least damage based on your strength modifierIt only has a different mechanic to get the same result: One is the attacker rolling the die, the other is the defender.</blockquote>
