[QUOTE="Burne, post: 1523258, member: 3450"] PC0 "I check the door for traps" PC1 "I move 30ft away." PC2 "I move 60ft away." PC3 "I move 90ft away." Too many chain lightning/Area Effect Stone to Flesh/Dimensional Portals/Giant Spider traps. "I check the trees for elephants, ninja elephants." Masters of the Wild contained stats for the Dire Elephant. This fine book taught us that the wily elephant has a climb speed of 5ft, thus explaining how often they are found in trees or attached to the ceiling. While we haven't faced a Dire Elephant in combat yet it is best to be safe and check the trees anyway. "It plucks out your eye" An obscure reference to a one-shot a friend of a friend ran for some of us. The adventure was a complete disaster, but featured many different kinds of birds being controled by some evil something (We never found out). The DM insisted that all birds (Yes, even the Goose, most especially the Goose) have a 25% chance to pluck out an eye (that hawks/falcons had it 2nd Ed). The night ended with maybe 4 eyes out of 6 players, and us fervantly murdering one another. The Dungeon of Save versus ______ While I don't think the DM in question designed the dungeons this way, but during the campaign we faced the Dungeon of Save versus Poison where a single Imp ended 4 out of 5 PC's, and 2 NPC's. In the Dungeon of Save versus Paralyzation (Super Ghouls and a Lich), our good friend JR literally took no IG actions for 8 real life hours. We opened a door and he was paralyzed by ghouls. We opened another door and he was paralyzed again. We get to the final room of the dungeon and the Lich permentently paralyzes him again. Good times. [/QUOTE]
