[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 22730, member: 1194"] I'm sorry if you felt that I was flaming you. I was trying to ask you pointed questions and give you my impressions of the way you handled the dragon encounter. I have looked for rulings on this, since the wording is not clear in the MM: Is the Filcher required to come back to the material plane after one round, or CAN it? It seems strange that it could "lurk there, waiting for a mark" if it had to come back every round. The ethereal marauder has no such mention. I'm thinking of many scenarios where the filcher could go someplace the paladin couldn't... like down. [B][/B]I applaud your desire to have your creatures role-play properly, but i think it's kind of a cop-out to say he'd be suicidally overconfidant just because he's a red dragon. If red dragons REALLY were that badly overconfident, in the face of obvious danger, how would any of them survive? An important point for roleplaying purposes is that even a juvenile red dragon has 14 INT and 15 WIS. I think that qualifies as a creature that should NOT act the way you had it act, but that's just my impression. You're the DM. Pielorinho makes the same point i was going to: that there's no way that adding 10 levels of wizard to a dragon increases the CR by 10. Good example! [/QUOTE]
