That's why I said picking dragon was contingent on the presence of dragons. Your DM will surely enlighten you on the fact. And it's not two points of damage against the dragon, it's the very hefty to-hit bonus against a dragon....and against a dragon, you need that to-hit bonus.Keith said:The problem with Dragon is, what if you don’t encounter one? Also, two points of damage won’t sway the encounter that much, likely. With Goblins, on the other hand...well, I’ve already said, I guess.
On the other hand, even if you never encounter a dragon, you can consider that investment in a favored enemy well spent, as it has prevented you from ever being attacked by a dragon at all.
Besides, the game is called "Dungeons and Dragons". Something about it isn't complete unless you have to deal with at least one dragon somewhere in the character's lifetime. Of course, somebody else has stated that the game is called such because it is about hiding from dragons, in dungeons....but I don't put too much stock in that.
