[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 6636540, member: 53980"] I did say to stay inside the Hamsterball until the dragon wasted its breath weapon. This strategy is predicated on the assumption that the dragon doesn't fall back on the incredibly boring tactic of only making breath weapon strafing runs against the party. It only works if he makes melee strafing runs against the party. However, I have a counter measure for the dragon who just flies around waiting for his breath weapon to recharge. I call it, "I take the most valuable-looking item in the horde and leave". Now I have something nice, and the dragon has to come get it back (assuming he wants it back, but this is a dragon we're talking about). Yeah, I agree that it's a bit silly, but the spell pretty clearly states that it works differently on creatures than objects. With creatures there's a size limit, with objects there's a weight limit. Honestly, what kind of of huge sized creature would weigh less than 1000 lbs? An elephant isn't even the biggest huge size monster (there are dinosaurs in the MM that were bigger than elephants) and it weighs in at an average of 12,000 lbs. Thus, the weight limit cannot possibly have been intended to apply to creatures. [/QUOTE]
