If they're unlucky enough to fail, inspiration, if they're still unlucky enough to fail, Cleric casts calm emotions on them, or bard casts heroism, etc etc. No party should ever leave home without some way of dealing with fear.Misty step, disadvantage for the Dragon due to foresight, and ridiculously high AC from haste and/or shield. Eldritch Knight remember? Also the Dragon has to beat their athletics check, probably not going to happen.Because the Fighter can shoot at it from 600 feet away if using a longbow, and a bit closer if using a crossbow, and is capable of doing 300 hit points of damage to it in the first two rounds of combat. The Dragon on the other hand probably isn't going to hit the fighter AT ALL with shield, foresight, and so forth. The only thing is breath weapon, and he still has 180-220 hitpoints, and the Dragon has to get line of effect against him (breath weapon can't go around full cover). Also Fighter can have Protection from Energy up as well from his Wizard/Bard/Whatever friend who is Ethereal keeping buffs running (or cast it himself as an EK).When I fought an ancient red, by the time it actually got close to Fighter, it was already down about 400 hit points and it was basically time for it to retreat. And yes, it was using its legendary actions to move and get closer. Didn't have magic items either, with those, it would have been even more one sided.</blockquote>
