Granted, Entropy 4 can just give someone a disease, so Jesse is overcomplicating the matter and I really don't think this oculd be anything but Vulgar Magic, but....

Catapult already does a specific amount of damage.

Any extra damage is by the grace of the DM. They could just say no, and there is nothing in the rules that could help you.

It is like trying to do damage with a cantrip that specifically says it can't do damage.

    I'm so sorry that you lost your creativity. I hooe you find it again in the future.

    I need that meme where in one pane, the gymnast is like flipping over spikes and flames and stuff. Label that one "being creative in D&D". The other pane is the gymnast just walking across the mat. Label that one "Games that support creativity" or something.

    Nothing about my argument goes against creativity.

    It just goes against players who think they can outsmart a DM by rules lawyering. Especially by some "hack" they found online that could "totally do OP damage and is completely RAW".

    In fact, it being at the grace of the DM is actually more creative, since you aren't bound by rules.

    And to top my argument off, the most important rule in the DMs guide is the first one: Page 4 of the Dungeon Master's Guide:

    The D&D rules help you and the other players have a good time, but the rules aren't in charge. You're the DM, and you are in charge of the game.
