Give fire crabs a longer breath timer

[milo]

These dudes can use their flame cloud several turns in a row, and the size of the cloud means you can't step out of the cloud in one turn, meaning you can be stuck in them for a really long time. If you have blink you're still likely to be in the middle of another 9-square flame cloud in the next turn.

For where they appear (mid-Lair), it's too damn long to be stood in flames.

Extend the length of their ability-timer, is what I propose.

Since when do they spawn in mid lair.

I've over ever seen them in vaults, depths, and as shapeshifters. The wiki says they can spawn in the dungeon, but it must be extremely rare.

They can spawn in Lair:8 at the very least. Not sure if they can spawn earlier.

Link the morgue file so people can all tell you what you did wrong instead of discussing the OP.

FWIW, fire crabs in lair sounds kind of out of depth in general.

They're really not all that uncommon there. It feels like I run across them in late Lair all the time. I mean, it could be clustering illusion, but...

They've been added to uncommon Lair spawns some time ago, it's working as intended.

Well that's all alright then.


Even 10 levels later this death would've felt somewhat unfair.

monster breath timer should be removed, dragons etc. worked fine without it, and to unspoiled players it's not clear how long the breath timer is
