[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6630672, member: 5834"] Are you seriously saying you believe a creature like a cloud giant couldn't use a melee weapon other than a morning star for two attacks because the cloud giant entry says "makes two Morningstar attacks"? As I stated earlier, the likely reason for not being specific with the Multiattack action is because monsters are so varied it is impossible to determine exactly what they are capable of with a single Multiattack entry. If you did that, your entry would expand for nearly every creature unnecessarily lengthening the book. This is all a moot point. When DMing players like yourself, the DM needs to write in advance that the creature gets two generic melee attacks that he can use with grapple or shove. Problem is solved. It is RAW that the DM can write the Multiattack capabilities in whatever fashion suits them. I imagine some players might ask the DM to show them the text requiring the DM to write the modification in advance. Monster creation is very much a creative endeavor in 5E and not set in stone at all. [/QUOTE]
