@JeremyECrawford I was hoping you could tell me if “Colossus Slayer” has an implied size stipulation? If not, why is it called that?

The descriptions of class features and spells tell you how they work. Their names are sometimes metaphorical. #DnD https://t.co/Pekca6apWF

But there isn’t even a ‘colossal’ size category. I wasn't going to say it. 😉

So it works on every creature then? You should have named it “predatory strike” or something. Or is the Ranger the “colossus” here? pic.twitter.com/DQfy7O4V1b

It does, indeed, work on a creature of any size. The first sentence of the feature's description helps elucidate the metaphorical name.

Since you asked nicely, OK. I wasn’t trying to be confrontational, I am actually curious as to why it is named that 1) "Colossus" can refer to importance/ability/size. 2) If you can wear down the most potent foe, you can likely wear down the weak one.
