[QUOTE="Tilla the Hun (work), post: 1508409, member: 14214"] Sheesh - I'll avoid getting sidetracked into a discussion on an acid gas cloud breathed by a dragon or cast... Start another thread and I'll be happy to go there with you. As I said in one post or another, that's an 'iffy' ruling, and it's far more beneficial to the players to use your ruling on that. I personally think that 3 adult green dragons (adult, not young adult, i.e. HUGE green) wouldn't even be working together, but if they did they would stick with normal stalking tactics as described in the MM and SRD - namely guerilla style tactics. However, at the bottom of my last post I mentioned the brutally direct approach of all three coming in from opposite directions at the same time. Similar in nature to the latest ambuscade described, but much simpler. Each of the three has flyby attack and snatch. 300 foot moves across the party and three characters are snatched. Fling them to seperate them and hurt them. At this point, you should have at least one, if not 3, one on one attacks between a dragon and a party member on the dragons next round. A buffed dragon should be more than a match for any one party member ('cept maybe a 15th lvl wizard), and it'll take strategy on the part of the character to survive. I'd estimate this'd result in a 50/50 fight between a 13-15th lvl party and the three huge green dragons. What is your party's APL??? I was assuming 13-15 but in doing some reading last night, three adult green dragons are going to rip that level of party a new one unless you treat them as disposable, which I had also assumed you weren't going to.
