[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 409367, member: 284"] You want to go after a CR 21 creature with a 10th level character? Suicide. A Wyrm Green Dragon is 35 HD (over 500 hit points) with a Wisdom of 21, and Spot is a "class" skill. It will have a spot of at least +43, and may have a magic item or spell that buffs it further. Even with a -50 to the spot check from the 500 feet of distance, it will know the general direction and area the arrows came from. Even at +19 to hit, you need to roll a natural 20 to hit AC 40. And you should have a -6 range penalty at 500 feet, even with a Composite Longbow and the Far Shot feet. Catching the dragon flat-footed won't help, as he has no dex bonus to his AC. Even if you do get your attack bonus up high enough that you can hit him, you better hope that he doesn't have the Wind Wall spell. As a 15th level caster it create a Wind Wall that is 75 feet high and 150 feet long, and can put it 250 feet in front of it. Cast it out to the extent of it's range in the direction the arrow came from, and advance under cover of the wall, completely immune to arrows. Or obscuring mist, fog cloud, etc. None of those spells will impede it's senses, but will make it nearly impossible to hit. If it has Dimension Door it can simply teleport 500 or so feet in the direction of the arrow, or even just 250 feet, which would put you in range of it's blindsight. (Blindsight 330' radious for a Wyrm.) You would only get one or two rounds before the dragon has located you and then one or two more rounds before it is in melee range with you (if it wants to be). Being a Wyrm Green Dragon, it may just get within 200 feet of you and then take control of you with Dominate Person. How are your Will Saves? It's going to be a DC 20+ Will save. [/QUOTE]
