Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morgenstern" data-source="post: 1391823" data-attributes="member: 5485">Just out of curiousity, would MM be less of a problem if it and all other 'force' damages were subject to plain ol' damage reduction? I don't see how a force effect is any different from being whacked with a mace...? Descriptively then, MM becomes a barage of baseball like colored streaks of light. What happens if you just reclasify MM as causing blunt damage instead of force?The image of ghostly falcons is way cool btw. I'd classify that as identical to the MM spell, but causing slashing damage, not force.In a similar line of reasoning, what would a 1st level spell built to the same standard of utility as MM but which causes subdual damage look like? Same but use d6+1s? Basically, ifyyou're going to have MM at all, it should be a benchmark, not the end all be all <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
