[QUOTE="Derren, post: 5757400, member: 2518"] Why? The rules part do not mention anything of a ball of fire or collateral damage. The rules only say that creature in an area take X fire damage. And when again following Balesir's argument from Post 282 just because the Power is named Mocking insult it doesn't mean that an insult is invloved. So why would a fireball be a ball of fire? The player can simply describe that all enemies in that area simply burn from within. So either the player can change on a whim the description of the powers, which means a fireball is not a fireball anymore and thus flavor doesn't matter or the player can't change the nature of the fireball no matter how he describes it, contradicting your previous statements, and we are back to 4E allowing skelettons to be mocked to destruction. When someone says to you "Do it however you want", do you get the impression that it matters to them? When you ask someone how you should do something and they answer "However you want", do you think it is important how you do it? When you ask someone "How should it look like?" and they answer "However you want", do you get the impression that it is important? When a power says "Ranged 10, single target, CHA v WILL; on a hit, 1d6 + CHA mod -2 to hit rolls, make it look however you want", is the look of it important? [/QUOTE]
