[QUOTE="zaratan, post: 6954109, member: 6810501"] In page 197 of PHB in damage resistance and vulnerability there is a small reference about nonmagical fire damage, so there is magical fire damage, witch any spell that produce fire damage cause, because spell are magical, and probably this is too obvious. But ok, forget that, just focus in immunity and resistence of monsters, ALL say "nonmagical weapon", spike growth isn't a weapon, as thron whip, ice knife, and so. No immunity, no resistace in those case. I saw the video, isn't a grappling, it's just dragging, similar as fire giant dreadnought (volo's), but even them need DM aproval. If he could close they [COLOR=#333333]antlers like a cage, this would be a grapple, but he can't, even lifiting someone with the antlers, the target is free to move. And there is the problem of taking damage in spike growth to, antlers stay above his head, and you don't have the precision with them as you have with arms. The only way a Giant Elk can hold someone is with his mouth, but it's like a human trying to grapple and drag someone with the mouth, with a really good DM, you could do it with desadvantage. I really would like that work, but in 90% of the tables will not. It's easier to DM's accept a bigger carry capacity for large+ creatures (is preatty ridiculous that Tiamat can't carry an elephant), but for that power gamming they problagly wouldn't aprove, lol. [/COLOR]There are any other class (UA content too) that double carry capacity in early lvls? [/QUOTE]
