[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 4030836, member: 36150"] Aww, not even a [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20031226a]Mist Dragon[/URL]? In an earlier AD&D2 campaign, one of my players was a lizardman with the Beast Rider kit, and he was vehemently insistent on having a Dragon as a mount, "because they can". Not wanting to deal with the ridiculous amount of power a Dragon represents, I went delving into the monster books and found the Mist Dragon. [I]Mist dragons are solitary and philosophical. Their favorite activity is sitting quietly and thinking. They hate being disturbed and they dislike conversation.[/I] Couple this with (from [URL=http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/dragon/mist_dragon.htm]EnWorld's Conversion database[/URL]): [I]Mist dragons detest combat and will usually attempt to avoid encounters by assuming mist form.[/I] [I][B]Mist Form [/B] (Su): At will as a standard action, a mist dragon can assume a misty form. This power works just like a gaseous form spell cast by a character of the dragon's age category or caster level (whichever is higher), except as follows: The dragon loses its natural armor bonus, but gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to twice its age category. While in mist form the dragon is indistinguishable from mist or fog and gains total concealment when in any kind of natural or magical fog or mist. The dragon gains damage reduction 10/magic, or, if the dragon is old enough to have damage reduction already, its damage reduction increases by 10 points. The dragon can fly at half its normal flying speed, with perfect maneuverability. The dragon cannot use its natural weaponry or breath weapon, but it can use its spell-like abilities and spells. The dragon can dismiss the effect as a standard action.[/I] In short, I had a surly, quiet Dragon who followed the Beast Rider around, helped him only when absolutely necessary (ie his survival was in jeopardy), and otherwise just floated around in Mist form, thinking, all day long. In hilarity, it worked well for the Lizardman because in 2e lizardmen had to constantly keep their skin wet, which was easy to do in a large cloud of mist. [/QUOTE]
