I happen to agree with you that spell casting Dragons are much more effective, but they're also an optional rule.You need to remember though that I can move 70ft and attack (Wood Elf) and I'm very likely to win initiative. I'm not a melee Fighter who's stuck plodding slowly along towards the Dragon. I can switch out to a longbow if I really have to and attack from 600ft away, sacrificing one bonus action attack. Not the end of the world really, and the Dragons never going to get close to me. A smart Dragon probably wouldn't even bother unless its protection its hoard, and that's a win for us.Let's assume I didn't have foresight, Bless is a very expendable resource at high levels, and an EK can haste themselves (they get to pick a couple of extra spells outside their school, remember?). I'm still +10 to hit with Sharpshooter against AC22, so I'm still doing extremely good damage. If the Dragon wants to focus on me, then all the better, since I have great hit points, great AC, and can move around behind full cover. I also took Misty Step if it wants to try and grapple me and fly off. I'd probably draw a longbow and start shooting at it from very far, assuming it's going for me. If not I will crossbow expert and machine gun it to death (or at least, till it retreats). Meanwhile I'd hope other party members are spamming faery fire at it, burning through its legendary resistance, or at least landing one, giving me the advantage to make the encounter "game over".It's still an easy fight thanks to in LARGE part this class and feat combination. Foresight just makes it a faceroll.You are correct that I did not "single handily" kill it, that was the wrong and an exaggeration on my part. But more like "did the vast majority of damage to it and made the encounter way easier than it should have been" would be more correct. Now arguably again, this might be by design, given the name of the class I played. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
