[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 2227122, member: 30001"] Ok, good point. I didn't mean to suggest that the dragons wouldn't bother, only that the DM should approach figuring out their actions based on their natures (as you say, taking into account their pride) rather than the DM deciding *first* that he wants to stop the PC from using some ability, and then having the PCs behave in such a way to achieve that result. If there is a group of gold dragons that have noticed the PC, then why haven't a number of neutral and evil creatures done the same thing? One would assume, that since gold dragons don't rule the world, that these other groups are of equivalent power to balance out the gold dragons. So you've got all these other factions in the world that can challenge the group of gold dragons. So what's the problem with challenging the 19th level PC? In this case I agree with Spock: "the needs of the many outweight the needs of the one". The DM seems unprepared to have a 19th level character (and I would guess any character above 12th level) in his game. The other players do not have characters that can play appropriately with the 19th level character. No one is going to have fun except, maybe, the player of the 19th level druid, and even that's a big IF - if the player is always being singled out by groups of gold dragons and told what to do, etc. Perhaps the 19th level druid can just temporarily go on vacation until the other character's catch up to his level/power, and the DM catches up to the idea of running a higher level campaign.
