I won't hold my breath <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Zelda:Excellent points. I would also like to suggest that Rolemaster may be the right game for them. Dragons in RM are extremely deadly, and are nearly impossible to beat, even if the DM plays them incredibly poorly and the players are tactical geniuses.Kesh:I definitely agree that characters whould have a chance of failure. A well-executed plan that works is nowhere near as satisfying if it works because the DM pulls random modifiers out of his butt.Reapersaurus:When you called the battle pathetic, you weren't intentionally trying to raise my hackles up just a bit? If that's true, you may need to get a book of etiquette somewhere so you don't make faux pas like that again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />What's uncear about the line "It can remain on the ethereal plane for one round before returning to the material plane."? Seems pretty clear to me.When did I say that? I've been looking back over my posts and I never once said that. I explained the reasons he would be over-confidant, but never once did I say that it was because he was a dragon. In fact, the way his life went would have made anyone one of two things: paralyzed by insecurity, or vastly over-confident.As for the mental stats of average red dragons, he was far from average in the stat area. His strength and con had been lowered by the physical abuse suffered when they shredded his wings and muscles, yanked his teeth, etc. His wisom had also been decreased by the psuchological torture involved in that. Finally, his intelligence had been incresed by the ability to persuse the wizard's library for some good old-fashioned book-learnin'.Also, why do you insist on comparing Marauders and filchers? If they were the same ability, they'd be worded the same. If there one thing 3e is good at, its redundant wording. Heck, looking at their pictures, they're not even related to one another.Carnifex: Sounds good to me. However, it totally would not have fit this dragon's background. The wizard levels made perfect sense.</blockquote>
