Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkLord Of DForce" data-source="post: 5587322" data-attributes="member: 85416">We had this problem early on in our campaign. I'm a hammer warrior - its what I do. My twin hammer weilding Avenger has invested in feats and powers that take advantage of my weapons.So we're facing this 20 foot tall whatever (it was so early in the campaign that I don't even remember what it was). I do an attack, hit and announce that I knock it prone. The DM says that's not possible, its 20 foot tall, like a 2 story building. I asked if the stat card said it couldn't be knocked prone, and he answered honestly, no. I then said that yes I could. The DM says, think about it, you're character is 5'8", and you're bowling over a 20 foot tall behemoth.Point taken.But...I ask him to think about it this way; I'm not running up, using my human strength, and lifting a 20 foot tall monster off the ground and slamming it onto its back. Heck no, a call for a strength check (which I would and should fail miserably) would not be unwarranted in that scenario...but rather imagine my warrior slamming his hammer into the side of the 20ft monsters leg, and it dropping to one knee in response, with all the benefits from "prone" then applying. Or that the magical energy from the Power I'm using is what knocks the creature prone. Either works just fine.Remember, to a hammer warrior, everything is a nail. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
