[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8898551, member: 57383"] The question marks are still there since I haven't 100% decided on how many teeth it can plant with an action. Upon reflection, perhaps I should rephrase the "plant a trap" to "set a trap" and use "plant" for the "pushing into the earth" option of tooth-setting? My idea was you could move and set ONE tooth at the destination as one action, then lay/plant/sow more teeth from that location with subsequent actions. Let's see, what's the best way to express that… [INDENT] To use a [I]dragon tooth[/I] as a trap, you use an action to speak the command word and then set the trap-activated tooth, either by laying it upon a firm and level surface within 5 feet (floor, table, etc.), planting it into earth within 5 feet, or sowing it onto plowed soil within 60 feet. You can use one action to activate multiple [I]dragon teeth[/I] from the same set as traps and lay any number of them upon a surface within an adjacent 5-foot square, but setting them may require additional actions: it takes one action to plant up to four teeth into earth within an adjacent 5-foot square, or one action to sow up to eight teeth onto plowed soil within a 60-foot cone. You can also use an action to move up to your speed and set one tooth, allowing you to set [I]dragon tooth[/I] traps from multiple positions. If you are killed or incapacitated, you will drop any trap-activated [I]dragon teeth[/I] you have not yet set, laying each upon a random surface within 5 feet.[/INDENT] [INDENT] Once planted, a trap-activated [I]dragon tooth[/I] will become a dragon warrior if it takes any damage or is stepped upon by a creature (including stepping on soil the tooth is buried under, which causes the warrior to sprout from the ground). This dragon warrior ignores you and your orders, and will attack you if its hostility is triggered. The warrior attacks the creature that triggered the trap, fighting to the death. If the triggering creature flees, the warrior pursues it unerringly, sensing its direction as if it was using a [I]locate creature[/I] spell.
