[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6633999, member: 5834"] How would you get the dragon to an advantageous position like that? I would never play a dragon allowing himself to be drawn into a situation where he had to cover 600 feet under arrow fire. I can't see any motivation for a dragon to attack in that fashion. The dragons we fought did not leave their lair. We fought a white dragon, he alternated using ice wall and mist to divide the party. One lair action would have wiped out a bunch of skeletons if you had to bring them into its lair. I do agree that in a party with ranged strikers dragons are far too easy. We did use the Tiny Hut to make a fight against a green dragon trivial. You have the following party to work with for your ideas, so you can work from the same situation we were in. Point buy. 8th level. Against Adult White dragon in its lair. 1. Paladin: Shield Master. Defensive Fighting Style. Oath of Vengeance. Human. 2. Fighter: Battlemaster. Human. Heavy Armor Mastery. Great Weapon Master Feat. Toughness. 3. Wizard Evoker. Forest Gnome. Resilient Con feat. 4. Lore Bard. Half-elf. Warcaster feat. 5. Life Cleric. Warcaster Feat. Human. That was our party. 8th level against an adult white dragon in its lair on an iceberg we sailed to. Think up some strategies. Not an optimal party as we found out often due to a lack of darkvision and too many melee martials. [/QUOTE]
