Its breath weapon is really big damage, and it is unlikely the PCs will be able to spread out far enough to not have multiple targets for the breath. However, that opens up much more retaliation from the PCs. It might be worth it to ping away at the biggest threat, and then bring in the breath weapon to finish him - especially if the dragon is close to bloodied, and thus likely to get another free breath when they retaliate.  The biggest danger to the dragon is any characters with lightning resistance, who will be able to shrug off almost anything he can throw at them.  Unfortunately, I did just realize something that makes him much, much worse - Lightning Burst is a Burst 2. That means he can stay 22 squares off the ground, and fire it at a square 20 squares away, and still hit the PCs standing on the ground at the edge of the burst. This means longbow archers are now at long-range penalties, and Javelins and Magic Missiles can't reach unless a PC can jump into the third square before attacking - which is unlikely. The only way they might do so is by getting on each others shoulders - at which point the dragon has multiple targets for Lightning Burst.  So the lesson is apparently for everyone to carry around rope, javelins, longbows, and a 10' ladder.</blockquote>
