Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carnifex" data-source="post: 27086" data-attributes="member: 227">Hmmm. During my Planescape campaign the party killed a total of... 6 dragons, I think.The earliest was Fosforus, an adult red I think; he began the combat invisible and clinging to the ceiling, and bodyslammed the rogue scouting ahed as his first move.Then there was Nagorach, an adult black, in a drow/illithid stronghold floating in the Astral. He went down in short order because the party was high level and he was but one of many encounters on the way through the fortress. Nonetheless the fact that the fight took place in a black room and he was black in hue caused a few problems.Then the party saw one of the dragons of Bytopia get shredded in one round by the Archmage of Avernus...Then they fought two blue dragons and a 20th level fighter (who had an orb of dragonkind and was dominating the blues). I think the blues were both old or mature adult or something. This is where things got *very* evil, because they were buffed with loads of spells and haste. They would make a swoop attack, grabbing a character and then flying up again due to their haste, where as a free action they could drop them again, inflicting extra damage. They went down too as well when the fighters swigged potions of fly though.Then they fought against the reanimated corpse of the half-dragons mature adult gold father. More than just a zombie, with an evil breath weapon amongst other things, it too was felled.Finally they took on Lachazdaervirakk, originally a black dragon killed by the half-dragons father, but whos soul was reinstated into the dead body of a great wyrm red/ half-fiend dragon. As a result of that, the dragon also had a number of the beneficial aspects of being undead... the party took him down in the final battle of the campaign, with only one survivor, who was promptly killed by demons.I usually play them highly intelligently and my players know a fight against a dragon will *never* be easy.But equally, remember dragons *do* have weaknesses, and arrogance is one of them. Also, younger dragons often *don't* know that great a deal about adventurers etc, and often don't have massive INT and WIS scores.They *are* fallible.</blockquote>
