The 4e DMG says that the DM is nothing more than an organic computer.  That's why there is not an entire chapter dedicated to customizing monsters.  The fight as written is still unwinnable. It is just not over in a single round.  Over 8 levels the fighter gains 48 HP, new and more powerful encounter, daily, and utility powers, not to mention new magic weapons and a paragon path. I would think with all of that, that a 15 level fighter could handle what a 3rd level couldn't. Of course, if you did something silly at 3rd level like roasting the party with a 1000 damage breath weapon, then Macguffin up an item that "weakens" the dragon to regular levels.</blockquote>
