webrunner said:In 99% of cases the dragon will be:
1) in ranged range
2) either "in melee range" or "not in melee range" which is somehing the DM pretty much can just decide.
The dragon is as high is it needs to be given what's going on. Close enough to the ground to do it's melee attack, or close enough to the ground to do it's breath weapon, or far enough away to be safe from melee. You're not supposed to break out the vertical-marker d4s every time someone has wings.
In the same spirit, the blasts and bursts being "indefinitely high" would work the same way.
Player: How high is the dragon?
DM: High enough.
Player: I cast a blast spell on him!
DM: How high does the blast spell go?
Player: High enough.
