[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 914810, member: 633"] I have made a thread with a similar theme and a different focus [url=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52027]here[/url]. You can find my player anecdote there. :D DM's view anecdote? Well, recently the generally-evil PCs in one of my campaigns had been captured by an advance party of a large army. The army includes several Good-aligned dragons, a couple of which are with the soldiers, so getting away is going to be extremely dangerous. Since I didn't want them to be caught yet, I had an ancient white dragon show up. There was a reason for it being there, but right then the only thing that mattered was that it was attacking the golds and throwing the soldiers into a panic. The PCs were thus given their chance for an easy escape as the military dealed with the wyrm. They friggin' stayed there and attacked the white instead! :eek: Stuck in the "chromatic dragon == ph4t l00t" I guess. A remnant from previous editions, I'm afraid. Since 3E, it's mostly been "chromatic dragon == quick death" in reality. [/QUOTE]
