Of Dragons and Tooth Picks

Grrr... Double post.

The party will be dealing with the Zhentriam, an evil organization, trying to take over the use of a Portal, something like a Teleportation circle. They want to use it for smuggling. Hwever, the Clergy of Eilistraee protect it, so there's conflict. Now, my PCs want to simply chart and investigate the portals, and most likely will try and stop the Zhents.

Quite frankly, from the PC's point of view, I don't see them A) Thinking a single enchanter is going to help them deal with a two pronged problem of the Zhentriam ambushing or assaulting, and B) not going to make them worry too greatly, if the Zhents pay her, and the party doesn't. Single wizard. There are tactics to take care of that, and spells to help saves. Heck, half the party is elven, so they can deal with Enchantment spells.

So it's more a point of 'Do you realy want me on the other side' helping the deciding factor, as aposed to 'I could help you'.

And, to answer your question, she's an Adult Green Dragon. No Dominate Persons.

Alright that makes sense.

Heh... Then maybe you aren't playing the Realms properly

I know that whenever I've played in the Realms, we feared spellcasters.

Suit yourself... you've got plenty of options to pick from.

That's because I'm not. My campaign world is 75% FR, in relations to Deities, Geography, History, and what's going on. In other words, I use what I like, I make up my own. And, in that, there are no Super NPCs. Atleast, not in the vast quantity as in the FRCS.

I don't lord super NPCS over their heads. Besides, why would one be doing 'petty work' with something this small?

As to the options, really, in the way of magical leanings, there isn't. Adult Green Dragons only have a 5th level caster capacity, as a sorceror. So that means what, two second level spells? Not much in the way of usefulness vs. swaying opinons via magic.
