[QUOTE="DerianCypher, post: 482054, member: 883"] Alright, I'm playing in a campaign where my DM likes to put us up against dragons. We are currently level 24 and have fought 2 dragons. I am a member of BADD and completely agree that dragons should not be played dumb, but my DM is taking it too the extreme. Lets take for example our first dragon encounter. We fought a white dragon (age unknown). The party consisted of a level 18 cleric, a level 18 rogue, a level 15 half-celestial psion and a lvl 15 half-dragon fighter/ranger. We entered the dragons lair (we didn't know that the cave we were entering it's lair). The dragon wasn't expecting us and we weren't expecting it (long story). When we stumbled upon the dragon (it was sleeping) we entered combat. The dragon ran away for 1 (one)(uno) round and returned to combat. When it got back the dragon had 2 shields, 1 mage armor, hastex2, and protection from good/magic circle against goodx2 (FOR BOTH) up. The psion spent it's time dispelling the ENTIRE battle, while the dragon ended up pulling off 3 actions a round. We eventually defeated the dragon(BARELY). Needless to say we were taken aback by the fury of this dragon. Our next dragon we fought was a black dragon (again, age unknown). Same party makeup except this time we are party level 24. We figured out by the end of the battle it had Mindblank(x3), Protection from Good(x3), Magic Circle Against Good(x3), Mage Armor, Shield(x2), Haste(x2), and mislead. Honestly now, isn't this a bit excessive? My DM is doubling and tripling up on spells just to make the psion or cleric dispel it over and over throughout the battle. Now I pose a question, is this too far? Would a dragon cast multiple spells on itself? DC [/QUOTE]
