It both makes sense (why would the Dragon even bother with true effort until shown the PCs are an actual threat?) and can really put the fear into the players - following a Bloodied Breath with Frightful Presence, an AP, and the next round, another AP and regular action... with a good chance of a second Breath somewhere in there.  Definitely puts the group on the defensive real fast - but also only at a point when the dragon is nearing death, so makes them feel like they really need to start working for their victory.  Anyway, in regards to the new dragon... I like the design in general. I don't think Frightful Presence needed to be removed, but do get why they did it. I don't think Stun needs to leave the game entirely, but I do like it extremely rare... but some want it gone for good, and that seems to be informing new design. I would have preferred if they instead just redesigned it, myself. On the other hand, I like Larrin's take on it - you don't need in-game fear if you can genuinely scare the players directly!</blockquote>
