Not Used: Sleep Area in the Beholder Tunnels? Empty Not Used: Sleep Area in the Beholder Tunnels?

Post by Caldor Sun Sep 04, 2011 2:26 pm

Now that the Potion of Magic Renewal has a somewhat diminished effect (as compared to what it was previously), would it be possible to make a really hard-to-get-to, dangerous-but-challenging-to-reach area in the Beholder Tunnels (or their lower level rumpus room) where one could catch 40 winks? I'd like to be able to get my Stone of Rapid Defenses recharged while still down there.

Thank you!

Agreed 100%.

With the changes to potions of renewal, and the addition of slumber potions.... areas that do not allow rest have become much more tedious to explore.

there are multiple ways to fix it, such as the above suggestion... or adding a vc command, spell, magic item, or something a PC can use in order to rest in such an area. ModenKainen's Magnificent Mansion, Leomund's Tiny Hut, Rope Trick, and other magic comes to mind.

The slumber potions are fine... but they are beholden to whether rest is allowed or not. I am not suggesting it be easy to acquire means to bypass the restriction... but there needs to be something (and please for the love of all that is fun and enjoyable, don't have it be something the PC needs to equip).

It would be nice to see these PnP classics make an appearance Dragon-style!

Another version of the World Map room might do nicely; either by spell or device.

^ I think that's a great idea; those spells are classic and really handy to have at hand. Smile


Honestly though, without access to a portable plane to where one can rest, where you could feel somewhat safe. I wouldn't be the one to sleep in those tunnels and risk wakening up and look into a beholder's [many] eye[s]... Razz

I can usuallly go all the way down and back again on one renewal potion, and then do a rest outside in the tunnel and start over, so the Beholder tunnels are no big deal.

That said, I absolutely LOVE the idea of Mordenkiainens Mansion, Leomund's tiny hut, and there was one other in The Amethyst Dragon&D< I will look it up tomorrow and post it. The Amethyst Dragon, this is the best idea I have seen since you implemented the tomes! I vote move this one up to the top of the list!
