[QUOTE="scott2978, post: 5806806, member: 6667922"] Ok... so I'm a player in this 3.5 campaign. My party consists of a large guy with an axe, a smart guy with a ton of explosions, a sneaky guy with really, really sharp pointy things, a couple guys with heavy looking swords, and... little old me. I never do much damage, I'm just a small anthropomorphic owl girl who is really clever, but not much good in a fight. But the dragon ate my friend. Now I really don't like it when people I like get eaten. So I've been plotting my revenge. But... I'm not very tough, and the large size black dragon that can cast 5th level spells is a lot tougher than me. I told my party that I'm going to kill that dragon for eating my friend Chuck... Chuck was the nicest half-orc teamster I ever met! We went into the dungeon and the nasty dragon came out while we were inside... and he ate poor Chuck! Now I'm pretty miffed, and this dragon needs to be brought down to size... to MY size to be exact! And I'm just the little owl girl to do it! So I hatched (pardon the pun) a plan! I can do a little wizard magic myself see, not much but a little. I can cast Alter Self, and I know some low level druid spells, and I have a scroll of Greater Teleport. So here is how I can turn those things into a dead dragon all by myself, and show those other guys that smart things come in little packages! Err... you know what I mean! So... first I go to the swamp where the dragon lives and go fishing. I catch a fish, and cast Share Husk on it before letting it go. I watch through the fishe's eyes... until the dragon eats it! Then, watching as the fish gets eaten, I begin casting Greater Teleport - into the dragon's belly! Once inside the big bad dragon, I cast Alter Self to change into something more... dangerous... but that can still cast spells. Then I start casting Summon Swarm! And I cast a few Summon Nature's Ally spells to summon some animals to keep me company while I'm clawing away at Mr Dragon from the inside. Then when he dies, I cut myself free, and viola! dead dragon! Anyone see any major flaws with this plan???? :)) So... for real, what are the implications of trying something kind of crazy like this in my game? Would you guys allow this if you were a DM? Thanks for your input... please keep it constructive, I know it's a shamelessly silly story and a crazy idea. But could it work? Scott [/QUOTE]
