[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7094159, member: 996"] As the DM, you don't have to, this is the Wild-West of 5e, Rulings-not-Rules, if your players start complaining that something's against the RAW, just do your worst Sly Stallone and go "I AM THE RAW!" Sounds like a lot of wiggle room, humanoid or not, how hard the intimidate check is, whether the target is immune to fear. For that matter (specific beats general) the frightened condition could be different for a specific creature ("if the Yttrian Berserker become Frightened for any reason, it enters it's Rage and attacks the creature that imposed the condition until it or the creature are slain, while granting advantage to all attacks from other enemies"). Really, we've got room to more than just wiggle. So don't be one, but do make the figurative fire elemental immune to figurative fire, rather than banning fireball. That said, it wouldn't hurt for the feats to punt the DC, for instance, to the DM, explicitly, to properly set player expectations. [/QUOTE]
