[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7553897, member: 83242"] I understand your intent. I am just letting you know that is not thing in 5e. There is not magical acid damage and non-magical acid damage. There is just acid damage. If you want clarify your intent, it should probably go in the traits section. That's fine, but this is not a PC and it shouldn't go in the senses section (at least I don't believe), it should be in the traits section. There is the generally location to explain non-standard abilities. It was just a question, I wasn't sure it was intentional - thank you for the clarification. The WotC standard is to put bonus action abilities in the traits section. I used to make this same mistake and would even used a "Bonus Actions" heading after "Actions," like you see for "Reactions." But then I realize the WotC always puts bonus action abilities under the traits section. The reason for this is, I believe, is the "Bonus Action" is not a standard action. You only have a bonus action if a feature or trait describes what you can do with a bonus action. That makes sense. FYI, you are free to right your homebrew as you see fit. I was just trying to help you present it how WotC and 5e in general does. Personally, I bend the guidelines all time myself as I don't always agree with them. [/QUOTE]
