The campaign I am running the players have fought 5 dragons so far and met another silver and befreinded her. Their very first adventure at first level they fought a hatchling white and destroyed the rest of the eggs from the clutch. 6 levels later their mother showed up for revenge. That was a great fight the monk decided to use his +24 jump skill and leap onto her face, that ended badly, hehe(evil DM laugh). They are level 10 now, close to 11, and just defeated a mated pair of black dragons. They only expected to be fighting one, and the mate showed up and surprised them. They all survided the fight just fine, they were well prepared, but decided to venture around the cave network after words and split up. Death toll - one dead rogue, one dead ranger. There were other swamp critters living down there. I decided in this curent campaign that dragons should be a pretty constant part of the story. Two of the players have dragons in their backstory, the mother white and half that mated black dragon pair, were from the backstories and had killed loved ones of the players. The ranger and the silver they met are developing a relationship. They found a stray bronze dragon egg in the black dragon's lair. There are ancient dragons dotted all over my campaign map. The party may start up actively dragon hunting, it is an open option for them. As a player back in my 1E days, I fought only two dragons, one blue, nearly a TPK, and one red, cube of force saved us that time. I think dragons in 3rd are toughter than in 1st. They have higher damage output, but their breath weapons could be better. As a DM I use there crappy spells as all defense. Add Shield and Mage armor to a dragons already high AC and it will frustrate the players until they can dispell it.</blockquote>
