[QUOTE="Dracomeander, post: 2144644, member: 20009"] There is a problem with increasing the dragon's age category. It goes from medium to large in size which increases the range of its breath weapon. Intelligently played using the lake as cover, the PCs will never have a chance to strike back for the dragon can launch its breath from farther than the PCs can see. There really is no need to increase the difficulty of the encounter. With that many PCs, the dragon will just retreat into the water and snipe at the characters. It will require very lucky spot checks to even get a chance to strike back at the dragon in that instance. And that is provided the PCs have readied missile weapons and the skill to hit a target 90% covered by water. The number of the PCs does not really matter in that case because only the ones with exceptional Spot skill will avoid being surprised and receive the chance to act. The encounter can be defeated by just one very competant [I][B]and[/B][/I] lucky PC, or it can be a TPK if the PCs are not smart enough to retreat when they discover they can't find the enemy.
