All,
I just want a quick reality check here because I feel like I've been a bit hard on my players lately. The group consists of 4 ECL 13 PCs (shadowcaster, dwarven defender, monk and druid), an ECL 11 cohort (bard/evangalist), an ECL 12 NPC necromancer and a (temporarily) charmed ECL 9 rogue.
They are about to go into a fight with a CR 16 huge black dragon. We're playing in Dragonlance and I believe dragons ought to be powerful, frightful foes so I intend to play the dragon to the hilt, using spells from the Spell Compendium and a host of devilish tactics but all of them strictly RAW.
The fight is a capstone or "boss" fight at the end of a chapter, so it ought to be a serious threat but winnable if the party plays smart (obviously).
Thoughts?
