[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5760840, member: 336"] Sure that could have been a way to design it. Maybe having a 10th level Solo, as well as all the other things going on might have been something they didn't necessarily want. They could have designed it as a hazard, or a trap, or just like they did. Is it crappy? Possibly, but it's not something that I would see as inappropriate for what was being described. Would I be pissed if I fell in and got autokilled? Absolutely. Is it totally inappropriate for what is being described? I don't particularly think so. Falling into the middle of an active volcano might be examined in the rules in many different ways, getting killed by it might be one of those expressions. I would not consider the railing a barrier. It is not blocking terrain if that is what you mean. I would probably have allowed a second save attempt, or a save bonus to the roll. I don't have the adventure in front of me so I can't say. If the tentacles are attacking on the deck I can see how a DM might rule that the railings have pretty much already been destroyed. [/QUOTE]
