I had the soul of a dragon trapped in a Dragon Orb that could create an "avatar" and the avatar got destroyed but the dragon lives on in the Orb, so that doesn't count.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  The players in my game properly fear dragons and will RP like nobody's business to avoid fighting one, which is good.  But I've never been involved in a hard-scrabbled battle with a dragon where the PCs won, which seems bad.</blockquote>
