Message: <blockquote data-quote="bret" data-source="post: 140908" data-attributes="member: 713">There are rules for breaking down objects in the PHB, pg 135-136.Now there is the little bit about Ineffective Weapons, but their example is trying to shoot a door with arrows.In any case, have you tried searching the fortress a little bit? Try to come up with a better alternative?Things I would try include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Set up a battering ram. Some rope, a heavy object, and some pulling should allow you to swing things into each other. When one block of stone gives way, you put a different one in the makeshift rope sling.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Create cracks in the wall. Once you have cracks, fill them with water. Now have the Wizard of the group cast Ray of Frost to freeze the water. They used to do a lot of stonework by leaving water in cracks overnight, to freeze.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Look for stoneworking tools. They needed them to build and maintain the fortress. If you can find them, use those to break down the walls and such.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Clerics can pray for Make Whole. Use that to repair any weapons or tools damaged by your redecorating.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use Reduce on some beams and such. Make sure you're not under them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shatter and other sonic effects will hurt inanimate objects. Have to target shatter directly on the stone to hurt it.</li> </ul>Personally, I would say given a couple of days even low level adventurers can significantly damage a fortress. It will take a fair amount of work, but it could be done.If anyone in your group has Knowledge: Engineering, have them go over the various plans and select the ones that look most workable. Have them help direct the work. Basically, this is a way to find out what the GM will allow you to do.</blockquote>
