They PCs acquired "poison" from the Avatar of Death (a different PC picked it up as a trophy).2. They guessed that the dragon was weak against it based on the vision of an NPC (it was highly symbolic, but they guessed correctly).3. PCs know the dragon is near, and plan an assault. They coat their weapons (of their main melee guys), and then one PC (not the guy who owned the "poison") asked to coat his hand, too.4. The PC who owned the "poison" agreed, since he knew that the character was also a grappler, and might have a way to get it in the dragon's mouth.5. They initiated the fight with the dragon, and then it bit his hand off (well, arm at the elbow) on that really cool hit.They considered B, but opted for A. They had extra, so he coated his hand as well.Of course there were details missing, I wrote a medium-length paragraph of a "boss" fight against a two-headed dragon (first time I'm mentioning the two heads, too!). I didn't mention a few things.I don't think they do. Getting blinded for Blake (the Fighter PC) ended up being really cool. He was able to use his blindsense to find things like invisible creatures, and to help locate survivors after a town was nearly leveled in a raid by an invading barbaric force.Throwing that javelin at that pict thief when I needed a natural 20 (because he was barely visible while sneaking up on my friend) was awesome. I dropped him, stabilized him, and had him help us. Now, I only had a 5% chance of success, and the GM (one of my usual players) pretty much let on that it's nearly an impossible shot (or impossible, he didn't say), since I had to make a huge called shot to hit him (we have rules for that, too). But, I took the shot anyways, and the story changed a lot based on that small, 5% chance of success.Which leads back to my actual point: that small chance of success? Some people will take it, and it can really change how events unfold. That cumulative -5 penalty to encounter powers would make a world of difference to some people, and if it's the same to you either way, why not support it? You won't take it; I will.
