[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9334492, member: 6801228"] The same way I explain everything. 1) Those are the rules in the book, that allow me to do that. "Why can your druid heal as a non-spell bonus action?" "Because that is what the ability says" 2) Whatever fits for the particular character. I had a rogue whose uncanny dodge came from him beginning to overcome his anxiety. He was always that fast, he was just overthinking things because of trauma, and so at level 5 he had worked through it enough to overcome that. Why can my non-magic using Beast Barbarian grow fangs, claws and back tentacles? Because the spirits of the forest were enraged when the necromancer he is hunting defiled a sacred grove, and are inhabiting his soul. Why did the Storm Herald barbarian catch everything on fire when they raged? Because they had fire elemental blood in their veins. Why was my artificer able to cast thorn whip? He made a steel cable weapon. You want the explanation before the ability and before the character. That isn't how this works. The explanation is the LAST part, the first part is actually creating the ability. [/QUOTE]
