[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3135259, member: 29014"] The point is this: Powerful creatures, of which Great Wyrm dragons are an example, are typically statted such that they can't be defeated by a group of 100 low-level enemies. Take 100 5th-level characters generated with core rules only and buff them up with whatever long-enough-lasting core buffs you'd like (up to and including 6th-through 8th level buffs provided by the highest level local) and standard wealth for NPCs. You won't have created a force that can defeat a Great Wyrm. The Wyrm would laugh at this With this new effect, 100 5th-level Wizards can do it in 1 round. All they need is for it to drop its guard long enough for them to get in range. This creates a necessary mindset of paranoia for the Great Wyrms, rather than cocky confidence, as even pathetic weaklings can easily kill them if they make a mistake. I would rather not have that mindset be required (though some elder dragons in my campaign do indeed have such an attitude) [/QUOTE]
