[QUOTE="Carnifex, post: 31155, member: 227"] Yes, this is something true - a lot of people seem to be having a go at james for 'badly' playing the red, but at the same time he seems to have been running the green in a manner which even reapersaurus couldn't argue with... Things I'll say. I don't think the juvenile red with the levels of wizard is worth that high a CR, even if it is what you get if you go by the book. Were it to have been sorceror levels staking with the dragons innate casting, then maybe, but as it stands I don't think the dragon was that tough a being to deserve such a high CR. However, the fact it has class levels *did* mean it could make magic items... In terms of tactics, they seem fine enough to me - and before you start ranting, reapersaurus, here's why. Suggestion is a very, very powerful spell. Don't say 'oh, some crappy level 3 spell, why wasn't he using something more powerful'. Suggestion is [b]very[/b] powerful for level 3, if worded correctly when cast. Enervation too is pretty damn nasty. Overall, it seems they just caught the dragon on the hop, as it were, and got lucky enough to bring it down so fast. You know, not *all* dragons have to be stereotyped as insanely all-knowing, omnipotent beigns that have perfect tactics and infallible foresight. [/QUOTE]
