[QUOTE="Derren, post: 1703138, member: 2518"] So the druid can walk freely "near" the dragon and it notices nothing? Not to mention that the druid doesn't know where the dragon is. Could someone calculate how long it would take the druid to search the 1 day flight radius of an adult black dragon until he is near it? From your last post: [i]But using Tree Stride, he can move up to 6 miles in any direction from his confrotation with the dragon. [b]Per jump.[/b][/i] And while I suck badly a botany I doubt it that oak trees grow in swamps. Last time I checked the Hiding skill was used for hiding. Yes, the dragon has to get lucky. As the druid has to be lucky to find the dragon. Only the dragon has much more time than the druid. Or the tactic to send giand crocodiles after the dragon. Except grappling they have no real way to seriously harm the dragon. As hide is not a class skil for druids, it wouldn't work that good. A campfire might also give the druid away. (Yes, of course the druid doesn't need campfires, why should he. He can eat his goodberries he miracously got from somewhere. As for the counter tactic: The dragon destroys all trees near a location. The dragon casts silent image to create a dragon in this area. The real dragon hides in a lake. When the druid emerges and casts a spell at the illusion he has a big problem. But basically. When there are trees everywhere the druid can use for striding, the druid has a huge advantage. If there are no such trees or the dragon has destroyed all in the area the risk for the druid skyrocks because he can't escape anymore and has to battle the dragon. That doesn't mean tha thte druid will loose (they are strong/overpowered), but the risk is greather than when using hit and run. Hmm. What would be the strength DC to break such a tree? [/QUOTE]
