[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9537140, member: 52734"] They actually very rarely show up in-person in my games. Mostly they are forces of nature that are in the background, something you don't want to run across because they will eat your face. Just about every time I [I]have[/I] had them show up for a fight, it's been a near TPK for the party - at least half the party actually dies in combat. I think I've done somewhere between 3-5 dragon fights in my 40+ years DMing. It's a bit of a let down in some ways - I've got tons of dragon minis (including the 3E Gargantuan ones) and have never really got to use them for my games. I'd love one day to have my players make up some "pregen" characters and do a fight with Big Red, just to get some use out of those minis, and maybe see what a high-level dragon fight actually looks like (since I don't usually play past 10th-12th level). Because of the above, I've created a line of drakes that are far more brutish and dull-witted that characters are more likely to encounter and be able to beat. A lot of times when stories go around of an NPC whose a dragonslayer, they've actually killed a drake or two. [/QUOTE]
