Dragon Tail attack (Reaction, when attacked in melee) deals 6d8 (to all targets in a cone shaped area) and knocks prone, but a Claw attack normally dealing 12d6 inflicts maximum damage against a prone target as it squashes them into the ground, etc. Not if Legendary Resistance works the same.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Verisimilitude DOES matter though. As does Fear Factor. While my AD&D character is less likely to fail that save, when you hear the damage will deal 100% of the character's HP on a failed save its "Squeaky Bum Time". When a failed save deals 23% of your characters Hit Points my character might just fail the save on purpose, roar at the dragon and say "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT PITIFUL LITTLE LIZARD!?</blockquote>
