Knowing there is a divination wizard in the party you should decide how their ability works before any dice are rolled. Is it some "spidey-sense"(danger from the left) or maybe seeing a second into the future (a fireball/knife/foe is going to shoot/fly/run out from the passage to the left). How much information does the wizard get when his ability is used?</p>
<p>Only then;
<br />
1- ask for per rolls
<br />
2- ask for initiative rolls from the wiz and anyone who made the per roll
<br />
3- after getting the initiative order, then decide what information to reveal depending on how you are running the wizards ability and what actions the stealthed enemy is going to take.</p>
<p>Real problems begin if the wizard takes an action that causes the unknown enemy to change their mind and not attack/break stealth. You would have a scene where the wizard just casts a spell out of the blue responding to a threat only he knows about...and then nothing happens. Like Youtube "Tatsuya Reveals His Identity To Everyone - The Irregular At Magic High School Episode 24" the 1st 30 seconds.</p>I think the DM messed up.

<p>Having an idea of what levels the party are at and how old the dragon is would help. How is she turning into a halfelf, spell or innate ability (like certain other dragons get "change shape")?</p>
<p>Some random ideas;
<br />
A) because she was trapped for so long she can't transform into her dragon form and is trapped as a halfelf. Maybe she just can't control it.
<br />
1- A rival attacks and she can't transform to defend herself.
<br />
2- She accidentally transforms in public and the guards (who don't know brass dragons are usually good) attack.</p>
<p>B) Her social/knowledge skills are centuries out of date.
<br />
1- She gives the party "helpful" advice (which she fully believes) which is anything but helpful, shenanigans ensue.
<br />
2- While alone or performing an errand for the paladin she commits a crime against a noble and gets arrested.
<br />
3- She misinterprets a social interaction of some sort</p>
<p>C) she is slightly mad.
<br />
1- Claustrophobia;
<br />
2- She has been alone for so long she might have some of these symptoms; (From Cabin Fever)
<br />
Changes in sleep patterns
<br />
Decreased motivation
<br />
Difficulty waking
<br />
Food cravings
<br />
Frequent napping
<br />
Hopelessness
<br />
Lack of patience
<br />
Lethargy
<br />
Sadness or depression
<br />
Trouble concentrating
<br />
3- She has "forgotten" how fragile humanoids tend to be, so one of her "whimsical" jokes goes too far and hurts/kills an npc or causes significant damage.</p>DRD1812 wrote:Here's the TLDR: A brass dragon had been trapped for centuries in a magical prison.

Activate Blindly: Some magic items are activated by special words, thoughts, or actions. You can activate such an item as if you were using the activation word, thought, or action, even when you’re not and even if you don’t know it. You do have to perform some equivalent activity in order to make the check. That is, you must speak, wave the item around, or otherwise attempt to get it to activate. You get a +2 bonus on your Use Magic Device check if you’ve activated the item in question at least once before. If you fail by 9 or less, you can’t activate the device. If you fail by 10 or more, you suffer a mishap. A mishap means that magical energy gets released but doesn’t do what you wanted it to do. The default mishaps are that the item affects the wrong target or that uncontrolled magical energy is released, dealing 2d6 points of damage to you. This mishap is in addition to the chance for a mishap that you normally risk when you cast a spell from a scroll that you could not otherwise cast yourself.</p>Well there is;

5 Use it combat, ok.</p>This is IMO, I make no claim that this is RAW;
1 No, it would visibly move to your location giving everyone a perception roll vs SoH
2 Once it gets to you you can make it disappear as part of the SoH action that stole it in the first place.
3 Know where you are, no. Aware that someone is try to steal stuff, yes.
4 No, just no.
5 No, you may use it in combat.
My friends opinion;
1 No
2 Swift action to make it disappear, unless you are prepared and can drop it as a free action.
