[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 1695237, member: 15999"] Yeah, two, what were we thinking? An adult black dragon has an Int 12, Wis 13, and caster level 3. Clearly we are dealing with a super-intelligent archmage here, and there is no way it could possibly be tricked. Darklone - I was assuming that the black dragon was hanging out in a swampy lake, as black dragons sometimes like to do. Hence the crocodiles. If the dragon is in the air, go for several juvenile arrowhawks. No save, no DR, no SR, ranged attack, almost guaranteed to hit, and you can just wear down the dragon a few HP at a time. Don't let it rest to regain HP. (The druid doesn't need to rest 8 hours straight for spells, he just gets recharged at dawn or noon each day.) As for it noticing the caster ahead of time, even if it could somehow identify which animal is a druid and not the next meal, long and medium-range spells put the caster out of blindsense range. I'm playing a druid right now and would dearly like the opportunity to, with the party, confront a well-played equal-CR dragon. I know they're not chumps, but I also know they're not invincible. So I welcome challenges to any of my ideas. [/QUOTE]
