Weapons and the coevolution with monsters?

[Beleriphon]

Edit: Of course - if you're going realistic - dragons wouldn't be NEARLY as big as they are in most fantasy stories/games. If they can fly - they couldn't be too much bigger than a pterodactyl.

If we're going with fantasy dragons like Smaug, the best way to deal with that is probably to just leave.

to be fair to d&d most giants are no wheres near 25 feet tall (depending on edition)
frost giants are 15 feet, fire giants and stone are 12, hill are 10.5 of the core giants only the innately magical ones are any where near 25 feet and even the tallest core giant is only 21

Well, those things grew pretty big...Quetzalcoatlus possibly had a wing, a single wing, as long as three man heights. With the right musculature, bone structure, and chemical makeup, a Dragon could get pretty massive without stretching the bounds of sanity.


What are the dissolve attacks with cubes? I don't face them enough. But you think pit traps would be a boon for villages and large cities both. For the purpose of a place to dump their waste. Not sure if they would work in a big city sewer though. Do they drown?

I'm pretty sure that they don't need to breathe, but I am too lazy to look at my books right now

That's actually not clear based on the SRD info I can access right now. The Gelantinous Cube entry doesn't specify. I'd say it seems fair a cube can't drown, but that isn't necessarily part of the rules.

Oozes in general need to breath. Going strictly by RAW, non-aquatic breathing is the Default and thus all non-aquatic non-amphibious creatures that need to breath will drown at some point when underwarter.

While it might vary by edition -

•Oozes eat and breathe, but do not sleep
