[QUOTE="MortalPlague, post: 5859259, member: 62721"] Oops. I forgot to mention; the water is shallow enough not to count as difficult terrain. That's an interesting idea. Less punishing, certainly, and it still uses the acrobatics check. I was thinking that anyone prone in the water would have cover from the dragon's breath weapon. Both because of the height of the mounds, but also because the water helps block the noxious gas. Not quite yet. The ground is hard-packed earth rather than rock, so I might do something where certain spots are weakened and can trap a PC. But nothing concrete just yet. It's a really good idea, especially since most of my party is obsessed with treasure. But I'm worried I'd have the rest of the party dazed the whole time. The other thing is I want to scatter certain items of treasure and have PCs pick them up throughout the fight. Now THAT I like a lot. That works well with my whole 'picking up loot' thing. I might mix up the skills a bit so there's something for the cleric, too. I might allow him to make an intimidate check instead. Being a lover of puns as I am, I think I'm obliged to use this one, fowl or not. It might just be a better ability than my prone in a water space one. [/QUOTE]
