Kill dragons with fire

[hcobb]

ITL 124 "Fire as a Weapon" ... "His armor will protect him for 1 turn"

The 14 hex dragon needs to get soaked three times for a kill (unless it goes swimming), and has a 55.63% chance of dodging the soak (Dragons are DX dumpers, yo.) so the halflings need to toss around 10 molotails.

Pretty hard to imagine a fourteen hex critter dodging a molotail, honestly.

You know, Henry, you got me thinking. What happens if someone holding a molotail gets hit with a fireball or (more relevantly) dragon breath? Would that be likely to cause a molotail to explode? It's not obvious to me.

Up to the GM to assess damage to carried stuff of all kinds, and/or to figure out a system for it. Other than enchantments destroyed by lightning, which has rules in ITL.

I would say there is some chance of a molotail exploding from a fireball hit, but an even better chance that it lights the molotail (and/or other flammable things).

Luckily, female dragons are completely immune to the molotail, as it's only "his" armor that fails to protect after one turn.

I'll just be adding an innately fireproof note to my house rules for dragons.
