So I was DM'ing my group last night and they are all pretty high level characters now, up to level 23. The question I have for other DM's is how they handle major NPC monsters being knocked prone. In the rules it doesn't really get into size and prone at all, but upon thinking about it I felt that there should be something to a warlord being able to knock a huge or bigger monster prone each and every turn.
We had this discussion last night when the dwarf warlord was using his powers to knock my primordial naga prone every round with his charge.
To me, a charge by a small dwarf against something that BIG and knocking it off its feet would be pretty much impossible. I don't want to be unfair to the player because he built his character around being able to charge and get extra attacks when knocking his enemy prone, but at the same time trying to think logistically about this is giving me a headache and by knocking down the biggest baddest monsters around it's giving the players a big edge and making the fight too easy in my opinion.
What would you do? Houserule? Stay strictly with the rules? Something else?
I'd appreciate any advice from the other experienced DMs on her.
Thanks,
Trav
