Re: Melting ice fast
Some good thoughts here, and I can't believe I managed to miss the box. Kinda ticked at myself. I'm probably just as much missing the (blatantly obvious) bit where this next question comes in, but... well. Are there rules for area affects or (more specifically) cones striking large object? (The attack in question is a cone attack, specifically a breath weapon.) After all, if your attack does 10 damage to each hex it hits, then if you're talking about a multi-hex item (yes, the thing was that big, it's a cartoon), it should take the damage for each hex actually hit, shouldn't it? That would vastly reduce the dice of damage needed.
On a side note, since the weight of the object involved is in the calculations, are strengths involved in multiple people trying to lift/slow the descent of something simply added together? They were flying (wings, though unrealistically small ones), if that matters. I'm somewhat guessing on the numbers involved in trying to stop this thing from hitting, but it should give me a better idea of the weight than trying to work out the volume of an object I can only see in two dimensions.
