[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6242827, member: 58197"] A [I]wall of force[/I] can't move. The dragon just has to open its mouth extra wide and back up. This would be a clever tactic and I would probably let the player do it, but I would never allow it to be an auto-kill. If I did, the wizard would then go around casting [I]wall of force[/I] to kill everything that breathes. I'd say you could use this trick to buy yourself a round in which the dragon can be attacked with advantage and can't use its bite attack or breath weapon; or you could ready the spell and use it when the dragon tries to use its breath weapon, negating it. It's a smart move, not a guaranteed win. There's also the verisimilitude question: If this is a viable tactic, why hasn't anyone ever used it before? If they have, why are there any ancient dragons left in the world? And if there [I]are[/I] ancient dragons left, why would any of them be so stupid as to open their mouths wide when talking to a wizard? [/QUOTE]
