[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 3124049, member: 33904"] In fact, I'd suit up dragons entirely with out of combat spells and swift combat spells likr bloodwind, energy aegis, metabreath spells etc. So I very well know how to decently streamline them. I propably would still have issues with maneuverability, special dragon attacks and forgetting a bunch wayside abilities (DR, SR, Immunities, Blindsight). And no matter how he's build, I need to have taps on a whole spell list. And it leaves the often cited buff wars/magical arms race somewhat out of sight. I see your point. I'm not whining that things are unbearable. They aren't. I'm having a blast and am still planning a 16th level one shot for my crew (which will have a bunch of rather complicated battles). But I'll keep my stance that for a possible next edition of the game some stuff should be streamlined. Are there really so many whiners, that, when somebody says the game could be improved, it's immediatly taken as needless whining by people that have no clue what they are talking about? (again, no rethorical question.) Edit: Just noticed that there is a typo in my previous post. When giving examples of nonspellcasting dragons, I meant to say metabreath instead of metamagic. [/QUOTE]
