[QUOTE="Numion, post: 460094, member: 124"] As you may or may not know the last installment in the WotC's adventure path series, The Bastion of Broken Souls, features a Great Wyrm Red Dragon as the main villain. His name is Ashardalon. He's also got the Half-Fiend template, and he's a 27 CRs of tough scales, sharp claws and mean spirit. The baddest dragon featured in almost any adventure. So us BADDies should be quite content? Of course not. ;) Bruce Cordell, the author of the adventure has made some errors in the dragons stats. Namely, he's forgotten that Reds can cast spells also from clerics spell list, although as sorcerers. So why in the hell Ashardalon got plane shift as 7th level spell (as it is for wizards) instead of 5th (as it is for clerics). Also Ashardalon doesn't have a single clerics spell in his repertoire. Even I'm not that BADD that I'd put a [i]Heal[/i] on his list... ;) ...but a single [i]Divine Favor[/i] (+6 to hit and damage, with high number of attacks = much damage) could do good to him. But whats wrong with the designers? They butchered Klauth in the FRCS with the same error. The greates dragon on faerun, and without clerical spells? How did Klauth ever get that position, I wonder. Don't they just know they can also choose spells from the clerics list, too, since I've never seen a dragon statted with clerical spells, even if it was of the type that could do so? I'm not too keen on altering his spell list, because I don't want to make the battle too difficult. Just my thougths on the matter. Has anyone else played / DMed the adventure? What's your opinion on the big bad dragon? Any advise or tips on playing Ashardalon will be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
