[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6683562, member: 57383"] Odd, I thought I'd already updated the special abilities. Either my memory's failing me or the alteration to the post disappeared into the ether. Anyhow, I'd better update the [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6565551#post6565551"]Mystaran Amber Dragon Working Draft[/URL][/B]. Most of the first sentence looks as if its more appropriate for background information than combat tactics. How about: Mystaran amber dragons usually parley before fighting. They use Bluff, Diplomacy and charm magic to mislead intelligent creatures towards the dragon's ends. In combat, they employ [I]protection from law [/I]and their [I]luck bonus; [/I]older dragons use their [I]luck bonus [/I]at the start of each day. They make heavy use of spells in combat. Among their favorites are [[COLOR=#00ffff][B]list[/B][/COLOR]][I]. [/I]A Mystaran amber dragon's breath weapons and [I]disintegrate[/I] power are likely to destroy any treasure an opponent is carrying, so the dragon may avoid using these attacks if it believes it will win using other methods. I'm thinking we might as well offer an alternative list of preferred spells to the Gold Dragon, since it is a different beast. We could keep some of the preferred spells and only change a few. I'd like to include a few cleric spells, since those are an option the Gold Dragon did not address. For example, the Luck Domain has several very useful defensive spells, like [I]entropic shield[/I] and [I]freedom of movement[/I]. How about keeping the new spells the same level as the ones swapped out, if only to narrow the choices down? That'd make our target spell levels: [I][I][I]sleep[I] (1st) => [/I]slow [I] (3rd) => [/I][/I][I]stinking cloud[I] (3rd) =>[/I][/I] fire shield (4th) => [/I]cloudkill (5th) => [I]globe of invulnerability (6th) => [/I]delayed blast fireball (7th) => maze[I] (8th) => [/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
