[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 1054820, member: 710"] Though I also recommend Heroes Feast to everyone, it won`t help against his Frightful Presence. The spell says, it protects against magical fear, and Frightful Presence is extraordinary. I was also surprised reading this when I checked the spell. (My group also eats Heroes Feat every morning, and I just wanted to check all the effects for record... :) ) If it is possible, I suggest getting a frost weapon for the fighter, and on top of that adding a Greater Magic Weapon to get a good enhancement bonus. The extra 2d6 damage against the dragon are nice. :) If you have cold based attacks at hand (Cone of Cold, as an example), consider using them and make your characters immune to it, so you don`t have to worry about back"fire". :) Dispel Magic will certainly be useful. A Dragon can increase his armor class by up to 11 points (3.0) via Shield and Mage Armor, and this are only 1st level spells. (Unfortunately, dispelling them is no easier then higher level spells). A nice trick against dragons can be using a Admantite Weapon (if you allow that the enhancement bonus also helps against damage reduction - not every group does so) and an Antimagic Field. If, as a wizard, you consider shapechanging, you can cast Tensers Transformation after that. If Tensers Transformation is dismissable (don`t know it now), you might suffer no problems if you want to flee. Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
