[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3630652, member: 2020"] Red dragon approaching party. Party opts for Operation 21. The elven wizard throws Fly, ascends up to meet oncoming dragon. The dragon thinks: 'My, tempting target. I'll knock her right out of the air.' The dragon flies right at the elven wizard. The dragon has decided to ram her (and bite her, which it succeeds in doing, amplifying the results below.) However, the elven wizard bought a Stonestone scroll (old version of Stoneskin, allowed in my game), cast it earlier, and is Stoneskinned. The dragon meant the impact as an attack. So the mage takes no damage from it, because of the Stoneskin. The mage was not attacking the dragon by flying into it's path. So the dragon does take damage from the impact. The dragon, thanks to it's heavy plate, does not pass onward ... the mage does not pass right through the dragon because the dragon's momentum is carrying it onward. Instead, the dragon is simply stopped, dead, it's armor crushing under the impact with the mage. It accrues considerable damage as it goes from full speed to 0 speed instantaneously. Then, the dragon falls to the ground with a wham. And it takes one heck of a lot more damage as it hits that solid ground far below. The fight is on. [/QUOTE]
