Got some basic questions about the Vault of Greed. I'm putting them within the SPOILER section since they reveal information about this section in the module.
Crushing Door = Perception is DC 28
So when player walks to the door and says, I'm check for traps and rolls perception, they are not physically touching the door correct. Just observing correct.
What if they roll 35, does this also allow them to see the secret door right next to the trap, especially if it's an elf doing the searching.
How limited is the perception check?
Because the secret door is on the wall next to the door? How do I ask for a perception roll without the rest of the party then saying. I also roll a perception check and examine the end of the hallway?
Section G2: Morphic Mist
A character who studies the mist can identify its dangerous properties with a successful DC 28 Spellcraft check, as if identifying the properties of a magic item.
Does this mean if they cast Detect Magic, will the hallway have a glow to it?
So once the 1st person walks into the mist, how do you handle it
1 - They save, how do you explain what tried to occur.
2 - They fail, does all equipment polymorph with them. Do they just disappear and I explain to them they are in water, and have no problem breathing. How do you explain without telling them they are a goldfish? How do other party members learn that they are a goldfish? What are the ways they can communicate?
Yeah, if someone is says they are taking the precaution, they don't set off the trap while checking for the trap they said they were looking for.
If they rolled a 35 - sure I'd let them find both.
Yes, it radiates magic.
How do you handle it? Their situation will become pretty evident in just a few moments of observing their surroundings. Their methods of communication will be pretty limited.
Unless the party has the Telepathic Bond spell running.
