[QUOTE="Hatchling Dragon, post: 28621, member: 580"] Strange, even being the person that wrote the post you refer to I [i]still[/i] don't remember saying anything about wanting a Wyrmling to defeat/kill my group. I said I didn't think I was (or am yet, let's get those tips going folks) up to the task of making it a [i]memorable[/i] fight. You know, tough and something not likely to be forgotten when next they hear of a Dragon. As for the critter 'still being in diapers', couldn't you apply a very similar label to the adventuring group? They're barely out of thier apprentiships, and this is likly thier first real adventure. Thus I believe they should have the Fear of Wyrms (or at least the seed of it) planted in them by an appropriate-sized Dragon. Currently I'd barely manage a 'you walk in and see a dragon, it attacks, roll initative'. This is only going to promote the idea of Dragons as 'Just another monster'. While I can come up with tactics and what-not that'll make Kobolds a challange well beyond thier level I just can't seem to dredge up the same inventiveness for the more Scaly monsters :( So, we all seem to like the idea, let's start sharing a few of the more interesting/devious/nasty tricks you've all come up with to make Dragons more challanging/frightening. Example: In [b]Forge of Fury[/b] they suggest a few tactics that I just would never have thought of on my own, yet they make the dragon in that module [i]very[/i] dangerous indeed!
