[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 6189580, member: 85158"] By that logic, it would make crossbow users... usual. The difference is that bows are equipment that can be purchased or crafted. If the dragon has a means of acquiring Scent though templates or whatnot, that's entirely fair by the rules. Simply tacking on the Scent ability, however, is not. If you think time is an issue, note that my example wizard has a lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend Spell. 20 minutes should be enough for going in, snatching a lizardfolk, and getting out again. The subject only descends slowly if the spell is dispelled or comes to an end. I would assume that the spell maintains position unless directed otherwise. Remember, you can cast a full round Summon Monster spell and you won't descend or anything. Honestly, there's no reason to think the subject would descend. I would think having a dragon flying out of his lair and through the 5x5 space the wizard occupies in the sky full of 5x5 spaces in the ten or so minutes the wizard is there to be far more unlikely and contrived than liardfolk learning archery. What? No, you do the simple thing and order your possessed Lizardfolk to walk off and bind and gag himself so you can teleport him out of there. I enjoy wacky, convoluted plans, but not that convoluted. As the plan is to capture the possessed lizardfolk, none of this is relevant. You will forgive me for not addressing it. What do you think of my actual plan which is somewhat simpler? [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/movementPositionAndDistance.htm#movingthroughaSquare"]I would not worry.[/URL] The dragon cannot end his movement in the fighter's square. They split the party.
