The blast is just too brief (less than a second) to start a fire on a ship FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. Especially on the outside where water-churning combat with a giant beastie is taking place. Though I too would rule that the surface tension is enough to detonate the fireball.<br />Such is my arrogant opinion.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672917794716928287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-74243648047954817642012-02-26T14:09:11.195-08:002012-02-26T14:09:11.195-08:00I'd say much higher than 10% - starfish are no...I'd say much higher than 10% - starfish are not very thick, so it would require incredibly precise aim and a whole lot of luck. If the ship is struck by the fireball, it will probably burn, as it's sealed with pine tar Also, Unless the ship is very large it's probably bobbing a bit here and there so it could lurch further in toward the center of the 'ball, or tilt back so much that the starfish is also outside the range of the fireball entirely. <br /><br />Actually, that's it - I would find tie the likelihood of the ship catching on fire to the starfish's save. Roll D6-3 to determine the ship's direction and the starfish's bonus or penalty to its save, and then say 66% if he fails his save, 33% if he makes it, and 0% if he gets a natural 20 (plus in that case he only takes 1/4 damage.Menace 3 Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697437012473847456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-57566703952113118912012-02-26T11:38:54.415-08:002012-02-26T11:38:54.415-08:0010% that you are still reading?10% that you are still reading?David Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677943842060923114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-64901828183721639972012-02-26T10:20:38.507-08:002012-02-26T10:20:38.507-08:00i would have said 10% tooi would have said 10% tooDungeon Smashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400977043480856370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-22908349835030132702012-02-26T08:44:00.297-08:002012-02-26T08:44:00.297-08:00I liked how towards the end of this you asked if I...I liked how towards the end of this you asked if I was still reading.Seth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15420255267222005027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-27373890480797166992012-02-26T01:38:39.896-08:002012-02-26T01:38:39.896-08:00I seem to remember that it was a weasel.I seem to remember that it was a weasel.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-12764749369599417612012-02-25T23:53:27.860-08:002012-02-25T23:53:27.860-08:00And, also, in case you were wondering I was not ac...And, also, in case you were wondering I was not actually hoping for a Dragon Magazine Forum style endless simulational physics debate.

So you could target the water underneath something, but the explosion would go off when it hit the object. So if the starfish was on top of the water and you assume the fireball is a 3D sphere, the chances of the boat catching on fire are pretty good. Although the word "good" is probably not accurate to the PCs if they happen to be on the boat...Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07445856586055333631noreply@blogger.com
