No, the Entangle spell works only on plants and (house rule) fungi.dtspurrier wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:46 pmbilfur thinks for a second and wonders if these webs will work with an entangle spell and keeps a eye out for the spiders
Good thinking! Personally, I'm coming at this from a game design perspective rather than as a spiderologist: IMHO, allowing the party to defeat an "heroic tier" monster with an ordinary torch would trivialize the encounter. Dungeon Level 3 encounters are supposed to be more challenging than Dungeon Level 1 encounters, so tactics that may have worked well in the past might not be as effective now. In Chainmail terminology, you're fighting on the Fantasy Combat Table now.rredmond wrote: OOC: I was just thinking that the sticky bits of the web were the flammable bits.
Sometimes the climby bits aren’t the sticky bits, was my thinking.
OOOC: Can y’all tell I’m a social worker and not a spiderologist?
If it's more fun for the players to use a wider variety of weapons, I would be open-minded to house-ruling that Hobbets get their to-hit bonus with all missile weapons, not just slings.rredmond wrote:Just realized, I don't think any of this party uses arrows.
OOC: I don't see any "blind fighting" rules in Delving Deeper, so I would rule that the sling stones automatically miss vs. the unseen targets.Bastet1002 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:47 pm"We could wrap rocks in cloth, and set fire to it," said Robur. "Then shoot the flaming rocks with our slings..."
