Thinking About 5e Evasion And Its Utterly Bizarre Consequences.

Thinking about 5e evasion and its utterly bizarre consequences.

Take the Fire Breath of an adult red dragon:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one."

Now, let's modify it slightly by removing that last part:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save."

Which of these does more damage, on average, to a high-level monk/rogue (one with evasion)? If you said the former, congratulations, you made the reasonable choice. You'd also be wrong: the monk/rogue takes twice as much damage from the modified ability.

Anyway, it bothers me.

Dumb thought: a "the Gilligan's Island passengers are the seven deadly sins"-type theory, except it's the Dungeon Meshi crew and the five basic flavors
