[QUOTE="krupintupple, post: 4075702, member: 58300"] i'd definitely keep the boiling oil, but also go with the boiling water, but tweak it a little. water will be cheaper than oil for these kobolds, but being the tricksy little buggers they are, they'd probably soup it up, no pun intended. i'd add things like dead animal parts, limbs from past victims and bits of bodily waste to the boiling vats. i'd rule it that the boiling oil does 2d6 whereas the boiling sewage only does 1d6 nonlethal, but requires a DC 13 Fort. or something or you're sickened for as many rounds as points of damage you took. additionally, if anyone is hit by both in the same round i'd say that the oil only does half damage, as it reacts badly with the boiled sewage, cooling it, but the ensuing blast of scalding sewage vapour doubles the time the poor bastard is sickened. that way, it's not super deadly, but can chip away at the front line fighters. it'l also make a really memorable fight that will emphasize the sneakyness and the underhandedness of the kobolds involved. and really, who wants to be slicked head to toe in boiling-hot sewage? :cool: [/QUOTE]
