[QUOTE="godfear, post: 7067666, member: 1482"] I picked up Yawning Portal and am planning to start with The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. A couple of things jumped out at me. So, the first 30-some-odd areas are filled with poison gas that deals damage hourly. So, if the party doesn't make it through that and open the door before they [U]need[/U] to take a long rest, are they just stuck out? I kind of assume taking damage while you're sleeping prevents one from getting the benefits of a long rest. I can see hand-waving the short rest bit, particularly since I have shortened it to 5 minutes (with limitations on taking multiple short rests consecutively), but barring some method of magically mitigating the ongoing poison damage, I'm not sure what they're supposed to do. The other thing that has jumped out at me so far is the math on Tloques-Popolocas and what I assume is a typo in the treasure section. The text says he's a vampire spawn, then outlines a few changes to that. Bracers of armor don't stack with "natural" armor, right? If that's the case, then with a ring of protection, a vampire spawn should have AC 16, but the text says AC 17. Even if they do stack, shouldn't the AC be 18? I know that it's a minor quibble, but it's still irritating. That and the fact that they seem to have swapped out the ring of protection with a ring of animal influence in the treasure section of that room. Just wondering what other people think. [/QUOTE]
