First, it goes along with the lizard aspect. But more importantly, those dragons that do survive are gauranteed to be the ones who are smarter, stronger, and more cunning.Good idea for a dragon encounter, but that would have gotten my party wither allied with the goblins, or intent on digging that sword out of the tree and taking the chief's sword for themselves. After all, "Never deal with a dragon." <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=":)" />CRGreathouse: "No dragons until high enoug level to see their true power"? I think that WotC put dragons at every CR level and added the bit about clutches of eggs because they felt that dragon-hunting campaigns should be workable. Granted, I'm only supposing, and even if I'm right, WotC's style of play isn't for everyone. However, to say that it isn't right for some is to devalue those people's opinions. After all, when discussing dragons, all we have to go on is opinion anyway. <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=":)" />Reapersaurus: It's the "as best as he can" part that gets me. Why do you get so up in arms when someone has a dragon gaue the party's power and then make incorrect moves based on incorrect assumptions? Should dragons be infallible.Also, if we could, lets try to keep the debates about my campaign out of thise thread, as I don't think they lend much to the topic here.Altalazar: The MM even states taht dragons leave their young. It does say that older dragons will raise their young though, so it looks like both possibilities are equally viable, even within the same campaign.</blockquote>
