[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7298918, member: 6801845"] If they can see the dragon, they are probably frightened and firing with disadvantage. But why does everyone assume every fight takes place on a flat plain on a sunny day? Do it at night, and the dragon can just fly up out of darkvision range. In any terrain at all other than flat bare ground, it just flies behind the ridge-line or behind a building. Most spells that could normally restrain aren't going to work against a gargantuan creature. If everyone is 10th level and gathered around the paladin, just grab him (using bite attack of course to take advantage of your 15 foot reach, none of these pesky sentinel/pole arm masters) and fly way. Even if you do want to play with your food, you can do it one on one, no need to involve his friends. Then there's this whole concept of "honor". Bah. What chaotic evil dragon gets to be centuries old by relying on "honor"? Or that for some reason, the dragon would just fly in and roll around the party like they're catnip (dragonnip?). Red dragons may have a temper, but they're still genius level IQ by human standards. [/QUOTE]
