[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 5824194, member: 1231"] I am definitely in the camp where the toughest, oldest dragons should only be outclassed by nearly divine level beings and up; demon lords, arch devils, demi-gods, and their peers. The biggest, baddest dragons should be able to fight the Tarrasque to a draw at least. In any case, I filled out a list of spells known for a Great Wyrm Red Dragon that I thought would fit more or less seamlessly, and I will include some flavour text for how I think some of the spells would look when cast by a dragon... [sblock=Salamandrex Spell List] 9th Meteor Swarm = Exploding Breath Overwhelming Presence 8th Greater Shout = Dragon's Roar Incendiary Cloud = Spreading Breath Mind Blank 7th Banishment = Planar Distortion Power Greater Arcane Sight Greater Scrying = Even The Dragon On The DMG Can Do This 6th Great Dispel Magic = Magical Distortion Power Major Curse = Bad Dragon Mojo True Seeing 5th Break Enchantment = Magical Distortion Power Feeblemind = Struck Dumb By Dragon Mojo Mage's Private Sanctum = Lair Mojo Nightmare = Bad Dragon Mojo 4th Crushing Despair Fire Shield = Fire Aura+ Greater False Life = Draconic Vigour Illusory Wall = Lair Mojo 3rd Burrow Haste = Deadly Surprise Speed Tongues Water Breathing 2nd Bear's Endurance Detect Thoughts Eagle's Splendour Resist Energy Spider Climb = Claws of Steel 1st Ant Haul = Draconic Might Feather Fall = Desperate Flapping Jump Mage Armour = Shimmering Scales Shield = Shimmering Scales 0 Level Arcane Mark Daze Detect Poison Ghost Sound Mending Message Prestidigitation Read Magic Resistance [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
