[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 24336, member: 743"] Reapersaurus: Obviously you don't play a high-powered game like I do. That doesn't make my way right or your way wrong, it just makes them different. As for the artifacts, the Staff is already gone, the party will either be dead or without the amulet next game, and the Holy Avenger truly isn't as powerful as you seem to think it is. Apart from holy and an extra plus 1, the weapon has been no better than the original incarnation of it. SR15 is a joke at this level, and it takes him forever to successfully dispel things with it. Of course dragons can practice. I never argued that point. My point was that them being able to practice their own abilities would not give them knowledge about the abilities of humans. Of course dragons struggle and fight at times. But I doubt their lives are as difficult as that of your average forest denizen. I bet they have to fight about as often as your average Wolf would have to fight in our world. Every now and then you may have to drive something off from your food, or leave with what you can carry, but you don't get into a lot of life or death fights every day of your life, as you seem to believe. You thought wrong, plain and simple. Unless a dragon is of the right species and age, they cannot. In fact, only gold, bronze, and silver dragons ever gain the ability naturally, and they're not exactly your standard anti-human dragon races. Of course, once they hit around Old age category, they get high enough level as sorcerors to be able to learn the polymorph spells. But those are too powerful and should be banned right? Unless of course you contend that they should be allowed for dragons but noone else? I would say I'm much closer to Altazar's view than you are. I certainly don't think that dragons can be snuck up on in their sleep (unless you're a very high level rogue and don't get within their blindsight radius. I do however agree with him that not every dragon is going to know about how humans fight and live. [/QUOTE]
