[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 17936, member: 939"] Oh C'mon! It could have been any spell that it failed all its protections against that did it in. How about hold monster? That would make it just as dead. Just because a dragon is tough, don't mistake that for invincible. Just one spell can kill if you get unlucky with SR and saves. And a young adult dragon is in fact younger than many humanoid races it would be fighting if it were to attack adventurers. In other words younger, less wise, less clever. An older dragon would perhaps send minions and otherwise stay out of sight. A young dragon does not have that luxury - much like a fresh graduate from college, they are still making their own way in the world, and so they have to go out and gather resources themselves. If there were creatures appropriate to use as minions, who is to say some other, much older dragon hasn't already co-opted them. Remember, a young adult dragon isn't just competing against the world of adventurers - it is also competing against other dragons, many of which are much older and more powerful. Not exactly a good spot to be in - all those long years of struggle. [/QUOTE]
