[QUOTE="whatisitgoodfor, post: 133020, member: 932"] Ok, I didn't want to have to do this, but here goes. With regards to having massive Alarm spells going, how is he supposed to do this? A CR 10 Black dragon only has a caster level of 3. This gives him a total of 6 level 1 spells per day and none higher. Is it simply presumed that the Dragon goes ahead and wastes all of his spells per day on casting Alarm? He doesn't hold any spells back in case something actually does attack? As to being unable to reach the dragon's lair, with enough time, and an intelligent enough player, any location can be reached. About having magic items, the dragon is too low a level to make them, too greedy to buy them, and poor a caster to identify them. The odds are greatly against a low HD Dragon actively using magic items like those. Contingency would also be a trick the dragon would love to use, if it weren't for that whole 3rd level caster part. Finally, the dragon's underlings and cohort. Checking the leadership chart, the Dragon will have a level 9 cohort, 50 level 1's, 5 level 2's, 3 level 3's, 2 level 4's, and a level 5. Of course, since the dragon doesn't want to attract too much attention, he dismisses all the level 1's and is left with the others. How hard should it be for a level 10 Ranger with a +50 or so to hide and move silent to sneak past those NPC's? And you still believe that the DM was playing the Dragon in a pitiful manner? Regardless, that was not the point of the thread, and I would prefer if you would keep your BADD bigoted opinions away from my thread ;) . [/QUOTE]
