[QUOTE="Bathnor, post: 5134358, member: 68998"] Hello all, have a couple questions. One of my players is thinking that the current encounter they are in (game was stoped mid battle due to time) is going very badly. Don't want to give away any spoilers, but they were fighting some demons who were trying to break through a dome of force. The demons were successful and freed the demon "general" that was traped underneath. The original wave of demons is dead, a wave of demon reinforcements are coming in from two directions. The party does have some celestials that are helping them. Anyways, the player in question is surrounded by a Vrock, a Babu, and the general. He also is close to others, including a Retreiver and a Hezru. He is low on spells and his alignment is currrently NG. He has a +2 holy greatsword. He wants to break it and see if it has any ill effects on the surrouding demons. He does not care if he dies in the process (he's already pretty hurt , and the "general" doesn't care for clerics. So does anyone know the break DC for a weapon like this? He has a high STR at the momemt due to some buffs. Second, what kind of effects should this thing do? Should it fizzle? Sould it just effect him? Everyone in range, both friend and foe? Just the Demons? I had an old Lankhmar adventure that had a nice trap. It was a huge field with 2 big rocks piled on each other in the middle. We'll the party was looking for someone, so they climed up on the rocks for a better view. There was a wand of fireballs wedged between the two rocks and when it broke from the extra weight, all 50 charges went off at whoever was in range. Thats a lot of fire. Anyways thanks in advance. (If it matters, the campaign is set in FR) [/QUOTE]
