[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8646482, member: 18"] It isn't totally amazing, no, that's my point. It's mediocre. It's not particularly special or clever to have a size M Brontothere or whatever (which is literally all a Primeval Druid can summon at lower levels - size M things). Yeah you too can have a slightly undersized saber-toothed tiger or a correctly scaled (i.e. smaller than the movie) velociraptor! Maybe you could have an oversized Eohippus? Woooo the excitement! And a Huge Kobold being exciting to people is one of those things that makes me worry about D&D players a bit. "Ohhhh a character is a different size from expected! Wow!!! MIND = BLOWN". I think I rolled my eyes so hard I just hurt myself. It was I admit funny like, the first time I saw that, in the early 1990s. It's 2022 people. That does actually seem quite likely and would be a lot more interesting than a giant-centric book. Presumably one of the rumoured two new settings. If done well it could be extremely exciting but given its WotC, I suspect conceptual conservatism and avoidance of anything too clever may win out. Then again, they did publish Eberron, which doesn't fit that at all, so maybe I'm being too damn cynical. Yeah given you can throw people into spaces that don't have floor or anything, it does seem like that is RAW/RAI for that. It's not crazy damage but the prone is nice and the bonus action isn't conditional unlike Shield Bash (unless I'm forgetting something). It'll probably get nerfed though. [/QUOTE]
