Dowsing the whole dungeon with oil assumes 1) you've got an insanely and unrealistically large amount of oil; 2) the entire dungeon slopes downhill from where you're pouring it; 3) there are no holes, crevasses, underground streams, etc. in the dungeon by which the oil would simply exit; 4) creatures that don't react (as you mentioned); 5) probably a host of other things I can't think of. But there is no way this could work.<br /><br />And of course there's no way XP should be awarded for killing something you didn't even know was there (and I say this just as a player -- I don't want any XP my character didn't actually <i>earn</i> in some way as such XP would be meaningless).Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-20545107412839382672011-09-23T14:58:21.659-07:002011-09-23T14:58:21.659-07:00Burning a "dungeon" is pretty ridiculous...Burning a "dungeon" is pretty ridiculous with oil, unless it's actually a wooden tower or something. Clever players could devise a method to smoke out a small dungeon or lair, and try to fight the inhabitants where they can bring mercenaries to bear. You've still got constructs, undead, etc. to deal with, though.Joshua L. Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358762663581842879noreply@blogger.com
