Tonight in D&D: The party finds itself in the last free nation on the continent as the Empire begins its siege. They have an orb that turns them into a dragon (but maxes out exhaustion afterwards) and it's been fun watching how they decide to use it in these scenarios.

They're level 15, so the orb is more about moving other PCs where they need to go than sheer power. It also gives me an excuse to focus attacks on the PC in draconic form, which feels like extra risk/reward. travelcheck.dylanwolf.com/p/the-orb-of...

Anyway, they sunk two river barges carrying troops and forced most of them to surrender. Players used Shatter and Disintegrate in interesting ways. It gave the enemies a reason to flee, and the PCs had to decide if they were OK with that.
