[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8436381, member: 6704184"] Being intelligent doesn't give them thumbs. They're still limited to what they physically can do. THis is flat wrong. For one thing, longbow is not nearly as specific a term as you seem to think. For another, look up samurai and their bows. They are longbows, that are used primarily from horseback. Lastly, no hitting power is lost vs shooting from standing. You literally didn't read what you're replying to. And now you're creating new wild assumptions like a dragon being able to carry a tree into the air, high enough to not get pincushioned, and far enough to come into the patrol area of the human settlement from outside of said area. I don't care what "most fantasy" uses, you tried to speak as though what you are saying is absolute and universal, so incredibly specific assumptions like this are completely bunk. The age of sail didn't employ flying creatures carrying heated rocks, my dude. Don't try to act like "heated rocks" is all I was replying to. It has to sleep. You're still assuming it can stay completely in the air, while carrying things, setting them on fire, etc, for hours at a time, and that doing so won't take so much out of it that it can't hunt for it's own food, and mounted dragon hunters won't just find it while it's sleeping off that much sustained effort. You're the one insisting on your absurd assumptions. Since you refuse to actually back any of them up, and keep insisting on nonsense as if it were objectively correct, we're done interacting in any way. [/QUOTE]
