But there's no reason a dragon even has to land to melee, he can hover 10 feet off the ground and attack with reach 2 (or more at higher level). This seems like such a superior tactic there is no reason for the dragon not to do it. But it also seems somehow against what the designers intended, and kind of boring for melee characters. It's also notable that no mention of this was made in the MM under tactics, and even the designers themselves didn't run the d&d experience dragon like this. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?</blockquote>
