Now, I am not so sure.The beam is supposed to be an obstacle. The idea being that the party would have to puzzle out its source, and then turn it off so they can continue. However, now I have a problem: if the laser is supposed to be impassable, there needs to be deadly consequences for crossing it before its turned off - if not downright lethal. However, in such a case I can't really push the PCs in and out of its path willy-nilly with monsters, that's too much insta-death to be fun.On the other hand, if the damage is much more reasonable or avoidable. It becomes great combat spice, but as a barrier it fails. The party can simply avoid it like they did during combat or.. since the damage must be lower to handle frequent occurrences, the party can just "take it" and move on.There were so many good responses to my initial question that I'm hopeful we can figure out a perfect balance here.Thanks</blockquote>
