[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7350439, member: 6801845"] There were several podcasts and articles explaining this when 5E was released. I don't have to confirm something that was repeated by the devs multiple times. For example: [URL="http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=8309"]Mike Mearls 2012 interview.[/URL] If a dragon uses it's fire breath to try to kill someone and I read the sentence "If there's ever any question whether something you're doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you're making an attack roll,you're making an attack." I don't have to read anything after ""If there's ever any question whether something you're doing counts as an attack..." because the dragon is attacking. Full stop. The only "spade" here is that you disagree with my ruling and won't accept that it is simply a ruling. No matter how often it's repeated, the book never says "you are making an attack if and only if you roll to attack". [/QUOTE]
