[QUOTE="Xarlen, post: 443896, member: 1060"] Sounds like Ghoul touch, Sleep, or Greater sleep to me. Wanna know how many times an 8th level sorceror can cast THAT? :) And, I'd think paralyzing gas would be a much better weapon for a paladin. Taking people alive is much easier. But granted, a very young or young dragon is a force to be reckoned with. Just like a dire lion. HOWEVER, this is a CR 4 or 6 creature in a lvl 8 or 10 party. The paladin would have to do without a mount for 3 to 5 levels. And, there's one big drawback too: The dragon's Hoard. According to Defenders of the Faith, this dragon mount must have a hoard of atleast 1,000 gp per HD, for it to stay loyal. So that means for a Very young dragon, it has to have 10,000 GP. A Young? 13,000. Not to mention when the dragon becomes his Special Mount, and thus gains +2 HD from 5th level to 12th, thus raising the cash. Now, who's shelling that out of his pocket? The Paladin? That kinda change can really hurt. I could have a +2 weapon for less then that. [/QUOTE]
