[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8043064, member: 6921294"] I was waiting for someone to bring this up. Ball bearings cover a 10' square according to Roll20s website. Id rule that they are only useful from end of the turn of player who drops them until the start of their next when then roll to the lowest point in the room. Caltrops as well. Even if a player spent an entire round to spread caltrops I'd still go by their 5' area description regardless if they take a full round and I wouldn't allow them a bonus action to lay more. If they argued and tried to spread more over a larger area, I'd say OK go ahead, then rule that they either spread them so much that they're useless or maybe they even fall in their own pile of them. Both are meant to be a minor inconvenience for a very short period of time at best. If I were to invest time and resources, instead of going with the anti ball bearing rollerblades I'd opt for the ball bearing/caltrop bazooka or blunderbuss. Not only will it slow them down but put a nice hole in them first. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/equipment/blunderbuss[/URL] [/QUOTE]
