[QUOTE="ac_noj, post: 4387710, member: 73003"] It's fairly straight forward: Divine Challenge is a Close Burst. It does damage. Swarms take extra damage when hurt by Close Bursts. The game is supposed to be fun, you don't have to be able to justify everything that happens with the laws of physics. If the effect doesn't seem to fit the flavor make up a new flavor, otherwise you're going to spend half your play time arguing about things that are clearly laid out in the rules. For example, you could argue endlessly about whether or not this burst should hurt a rat swarm. Some people will go so far as work out how much damage the swarm should take assuming one rat is challenged and there are X rats in the swarm. OR the DM could say "The rats move as if they are of one mind, and as you roar out your challenge it falls apon all of them, SEARING THEIR CORRUPT BODIES WITH [B]DIVINE LIGHT[/B]!" My way is faster, and 100 times more fun. [/QUOTE]
