[QUOTE="Zaphling, post: 5727838, member: 89462"] Dragons are supposedly the epitome of monsters. Period. The reason why you sparingly use dragons is because they're supposed to be majestic and meeting them must be breathtaking. The experience in meeting a dragon is still present in my campaigns, but the reason I rarely use them because my PCs see them as one big pile of gold, or money. Seriously, i compare dragons to pigs because of this experience. In fact pigs are a bit better off. My explanation is this, pigs, when killed, are totally used up for their meet (kidneys, heart, brain, eyeballs, tongue, muscles, blood, :):):):)). Maybe the only thing that is not eaten from a pig is its nails and teeth. My PCs on the other hand, kills the dragon. Good. But then, they use their bag of holdings to butcher the dragon to sell in arcane schools, alchemists, weapon shops, armor shops, and even museums. seriously, no part, literraly, no part of a dragon will be left. The pig is better off since the teeth and nails are left out, but with dragons every last bit of it is sold for gold. This has happened like 10 times already, since i only used dragons 10 times. They sell its heart for like 200 gold. Eyeballs for 10 gold. Dragon scales for armor, dragon hide for armor, dragon teeth for weapons and pendants, dragon claws for weapons, dragon bones for weapons, skull for helmet. But I do reward them with their creativity. If they want to have a dragonbone bastard sword, basically I just give them a normal bastard sword but with an extra benefit like high crit, brutal, reach, etc. What are your experiences with dragons? and to some lesser extent, monsters that are majestic?
