[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8673613, member: 16814"] I disagree it's conceivable. Like, at all. Because the fiction of those dragons is the same in both -- Reign of Fire is 'what happens if D&D dragons are released on the real world." Massive, impossibly fast, impossibly armored, strong, acrobatic flying beasts that breathe fire! I mean, realistically speaking, it took considerable effort to crack open a fully armored knight. There armor was impressive, and hard to breach, requiring specific techniques and tools to do so (the evolution of battlefield weapons clearly shows this, with anti-knight weapons being picks and long knives used to get into the cracks after you grounded the opponent). Swords were one of the worst weapons to use against a knight. Dragons are even more impressively armored than the best knights, but the same hand weapons are conceived to be able to harm them. Late era breastplates are effectively bulletproof. A dragon's armor is significantly improved over this. Reign of Fire actually did a pretty good job of realistic extrapolation. Sure, but that's not how it is, is it? [/QUOTE]
