I don't know if you played the Age of Worms, but late in the adventure path- hmm, about 15th or 16th level?- the pcs encounter a war between dragons and giants.I seem to recall Dragonlance having plenty of multi-dragon encounters, too. And I can remember a number of mated pairs with young scenarios throughout the years.Not every dragon is meant to be a BBEG. There have been stats for hatchlings at least since the Basic set, and up through 1e some dragons had single-digit hit points. D&D in fact does support using dragons in groups of 3 or 4 and almost always has- 4e being a noteworthy exception.Nonetheless, you are right that an equal-level dragon in the playtest is, apparently, supposed to be an average difficulty encounter for four 13th level characters. (It is worth 17,680 xp; budget for an 'average' encounter is 3900 xp per pc.)</blockquote>
