[QUOTE="Bodah, post: 827088, member: 6711"] Within my groups next 1-2 games I plan on putting them up against a Red Dragon. My concern is that some of the CR's may be well.. off. Usually CR's are a good idea of what will be a challenge for a group, but Dragons usually have alittle more or less CR depending on how they are being DM'ed. The group consists of the following: A 15th level Gnomish bard. A 16th level Sun Elf Bladesinger. A 19th level half celestial cleric (he's the only original surviving member, so he's got a few levels on the rest). Thats the usual group, occasionally we have a 15th level aasimar paladin as well, however he shows up at random. Anyway, I am trying to get some feedback on what age category of Red Dragon would be enough to give them a serious challenge, but not be overwhelming. By CR alone I was considering an adult Red Dragon all the way up to an Old Red Dragon. I also plan on playing this Dragon the way I feel dragons should be played.. In another words he will likely be ready for an encounter and will rely on most of his abilities and advantages. Rather than just hack away at the characters in melee. So if I could get some feedback on to what others around here feel would be an appropriate age category for the Red Dragon I would really appreciate it. If you feel you need to know more about the characters or how I plan the encounter to go down then by all means, ask. I will try to answer as best as possible. [/QUOTE]
