[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6636704, member: 22779"] And that, right there, is the basic difference. I don't play D&D to have "boring stories". So, it's not going to be an option. Thing is, if you were truly playing your long lived dragons highly efficiently, then your PC's should never, ever win. There's just too many things the dragon can do. Again, fighting at night means your archers can't hit anything. They are firing blind. I disagree with [MENTION=6787650]Hemlock[/MENTION]'s point about skeletons, since once the dragon gets out of 60 foot range, they don't just have disadvantage, they can only attack by picking squares. Good luck with that. Summoned elemental dies pretty quickly, so, following it around with a light source doesn't work either. Ancient dragons with line breaths have 120 foot range with 120 foot dark vision. Nothing will ever get close enough to illuminate it. Again, killing PC's is ludicrously easy. The idea that I have to go up CR+5 or 6 encounters to do it is a joke. I can kill PC's quite easily with regular encounters, thank you very much. Been doing it for years. If the DM is actually out to play competitively with the players, the DM will always win. [/QUOTE]
