D&D 5E (2014) Thief Rogue throwing Ball Bearings everywhere

[Charlaquin]

Sounds like something the people I played with would do. Quick lets put a caltrop in the barbarians boot.

That’s one way to maintain rage.

Then you just have to make a dexterity saving throw every round to make sure you don't fall off the skates.

I suggest a DC of 35

Imagine a d12! Or a d20!

And Egyptians used to make icosahedrons (d20s)

Imagine Lego tiles and a situation where many creatures run barefoot e.g. a hobbit village

 

[Imaculata]

The purpose of caltrops is to throw them in an area that your enemies will need to pass through, not in an area that you and your allies need to cross. You don't need special boots. Just jump over them or move at half speed.

You just melt metal and drop it.

'Just'?

Melting iron is beyond standard medieval technology.

Are you kidding me? Every single ball bearing in the multiverse was forged by Moradin himself and has passed his rigorous GD&T standards and testing. For shame a lowly PC gets bilked out of a few SP on a few bum ball bearings.

Who let the Marketing manager out their cubical!

Melting iron is beyond standard medieval technology.

And D&D has stuff from the bronze age to renaissance. Plus magic.

3 parts iron ore, 1 part fireball, problem solved.

3 parts iron ore, 1 part fireball, problem solved.

Given the limited damage to the surroundings, the temperature of a fireball is far too low to melt iron.
