Hjorimir said:Have you ever tried to "push" a pig? I'm betting that it is tougher than your players think. Also, imagine the noise the pig would be making as it was being mercilessly prodded forward. Every last stinking monster in the place would know they were there. Extremely intelligent opponents would be able to account for the pig as well and lull the intruding band of adventurers into a false sense of security.
Nod. That answer to their strategem makes sense. Pigs aren't stupid animals -- they'd refuse to go in a dungeon -- only canines are loyal enough to go, others would be like "smell ya later". More importantly, it's just not right for the game -- it's not pigs and pigpens!
I've been know to try to bring a goat as self-propelled rations, but never as trap exploder.
