Hardcore Dragonhunt

[Reynard]

Bring a variety of pregenerated dragonhunter PCs, for the folks who inevitably don't bring one or bring noncompliant ones. These will also make for quick NPCs should your game suffer from noshows.

I agree with the others, make it a red.

I will have to make some pre-gens, sure, but I am really hoping people get into the thing enough to spend the time. One can never tell, tho.

And I am basically trying to decide between a Black and a Red at this point. Statistically, the younger red is tougher than the black at the same CR, but the black has lots of options for environmental uses. Swamps are abeautiful thing, after all. And fire protection seems a lot more common/obvious than acid protection.

And Linger Breath is way up there on the list of feats to take, maybe even for the minions.

How much cover will there be for the PCs where the dragon is? Because good cover is crucial when you're dealing with anything that can kill you from a distance and sometimes saving throws for half damage aren't gonna save you at all.
