[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 903870, member: 1231"] [b]Dragon Armour[/b] I don't really see the problem with dragons wearing armour... the only thing is that it would likely have to be permanently attached, like the armour of Deathwing in WarCraft. I would think that a dragon wearing armour would have their land, swim and burrow speeds reduced proportiately as people with the same stuff, and their flying speed would stay the same, except their manoeverability w ould be reduced one category, unless it is already clumsy, in which case speed would be reduced by half. In terms of armour weighing too much, I just think that a dragon is phenomenally strong, and should be able to do anything comparable to a person. If you are looking at it in terms of AC, a dragon could get a +8 armour bonus from bracers, but a +8 armour and +5 enhancement bonus from magical platemail. As for weapons, in this category I can't really see them using anything but weapons shaped to their persons, like talon coverings or something, except in extreme situations.
