[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7318290, member: 50987"] I have an unpopular opinion about dragons. A while back, there was a discussion about "disposable dragons," which later spawned a club called B.A.D.D.: Bothered About Disposable Dragons. I'm a member. In my opinion, most DMs never play dragons to their full potential...they treat dragons like just another monster to be defeated and looted, and I think they should be more than that. SO much more than that. At my table, players whisper about dragons in hushed tones. They listen to tales of dragons in distant lands, and worry about what will happen to their land, their homes, their families, if such a horror should ever visit them. Dragons are creatures of nightmare and legend, cunning monsters of unmatched cruelty that wield powerful eldritch magic and the strength of a thousand armies. To lay eyes upon a dragon is to behold your death. They certainly don't plan to find one on purpose. But this being the game that it is, it will happen one day. And on that day? Unless the entire battlefield has been scorched and melted into magma, unless the skies have darkened from the smoke and brimstone, unless the roar of the beast echoed off the distant mountains and the battle raged for hours, unless the last hero had to charge his burned body over his lifeless companions and slay the beast with a final, hundredth blow from the legendary Sword of Xassaxzasx...they weren't fighting a dragon. No, they were fighting some kind of bumbling, fragile lizard with bad breath. A 9th level party defeating a CR 22 dragon? Maybe for some. But that's not how I roll. [/QUOTE]
