Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Rystil Arden]

Majorly prepared! And hoping the DM doesn't know how to run a dragon...

Naw, you overestimate the juvy white. If the party has fire magic and the initiative, plus they don't get bad rolls, the dragon dies before it can do more than one thing, or two at most.

A first level party may have, at the max, "Burning Hands" and "Magic Missile" from the mage.... the rest would have to either shoot from distance or clobber up close.

Lesser Orb of Flame. 1d8 damage, the ranged touch will definitely hit.

Forgot about that one as I don't know the newer spells that well.... and you're talking a ranged touch of +2 - +4 max....

So there's a chance of failure...

(actually, they could have +7). Its a slight chance to miss, but chances to hit get only better as the dragon ages. And it increase the average damage over magic missile if you hit more than half (average on a hit for this = 6.75, whereas magic missile = 3.5). Assuming an Evoker with 12 Int, that's like 20 damage, just from the mage, leaving 8 other people to do the other 80 damage.

Where do you get the +7 from?

Unless we're talking different level PCs....

Level 1 Halfling Wizard with maxed-out Dex and Weapon Focus ranged spells.

Ok. That works.

I'd say you could use an Elf except for that stupid -2 to CON.... that sucks.

No, I can't. Elves don't get the size bonus to the attack rolls.

There are also something like two conversations going at the same time, and the party size is pretty huge. I was originally considering leaving the party because it was so big. That, and one of the characters is LE. I figured the players were mostly good, though, and it's been a fun story so far.

Imagine that. Right, Knight Otu?

And tell me about spell running out. The three-way fight between the party Ashnar is in, a group of goblins, and sahuagin that goes since about two months realtime left him pretty much with two "battle-worthy" cantrips, and he's chasing a human rogue who's trying to flee from her imprisonment.

That's because Manzanita keep popping sahuagins out of the water.
