[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8572318, member: 6779196"] See my response to [USER=6701124]@Cadence[/USER] - if you declare that you are adding your proficiency bonus to damage, you are not following the procedures described by the rules correctly. If you say that your character performs (or attempts to perform) a certain action in the game world, you are following the procedures described by the rules correctly. The rules stating your character “won’t” do a thing are proven false by you following this procedure, and now the DM is in the position of having to ad-hoc declare a result for something the “rules” incorrectly said wouldn’t happen.
