[QUOTE="The Amazing Dingo, post: 1835220, member: 23353"] Just a question here to toss out concerning good aligned dragons...just how greedy are they? When I hear good, I do admit that I think of someone willing to give money to help a good cause. A dragon's greed/covetousness of wealth is legendary. So, would a good dragon do this? Would a Gold? Would a Silver? Would a Copper? If so, how much would they give? Would they only give if they thought they might get some type of return other then just knowing they did something good? Would they perhaps be willing to let go of magical items they acquire for a fraction of their normal cost if they were going towards a good cause? If a dragon patron of a city saw his beloved city's coffers going empty would he help out by emptying his own funds into the city in some way? These things have been playing in my mind. I do believe good dragons are just that, good. However, dragons are known for their desire to possess objects of value. I know there is another thread about Dragon Economics going around and something there struck me as interesting: Perhaps good dragons value objects other then simple wealth? Perhaps they value things such as the first flower to bloom after winter or only objects of art? I don't quite really *want* to believe this since I think having a good dragon be acquisitive and stingy with his wealth is a nice foil and adds a depth of character. My question is, how would such show through in their character and willingness to help others? [/QUOTE]
