[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 2243790, member: 4910"] The way I figure it is that dragons usually don't pick up class levels for the same reason dragons don't usually develop artificial arms and armor. They don't have a drive to do those things, because they don't feel the same need to compensate for or supplant their natural abilities. Humans and the like seek out special training and develop weapons because originally they needed to do so as a matter of survival, and the practice just sort of stuck. Dragons never had to do that. There's not much that threatens them over the normal course of things, and anything that did (such as other dragons), they could just run away from. When it comes to dealing with other dragons, I figure they'd be more inclined to try to chase off an interloper rather than fight to kill. One to one, a dragon realizes there's not much that poses a concrete threat to it aside from other dragons. Because of the validity of that threat, you'd think they wouldn't want to run the risk if they could avoid it. [/QUOTE]
