If you can get ahold of some poison, try it. Odds are the dragon will save, but even one missed save could help.Pick your battlefield.Take advantage of cover, and the sniping rules.If you can get the dragon bottled up somewhere that negates its multiple attacks per round, and even better eliminates its flight, you'll stand a better chance.Once it comes down to melee, I favor the "Dogpile on da Wabbit" tactic.Every melee fighter dives in, looking to dish out as much damage as possible, as fast as possible. Now's the time to use those potions of Bull's Strength, etc. Every attack the paladin makes should be a smite attempt until he has used them all.You said this dragon is going to attack a city right?Can you recruit some extra hit points? I mean commoners?Have as many of them as possible make Aid Another actions to help the fighters.What are shield-bearers good for anyway?!Good luck!</blockquote>
