[QUOTE="Someone, post: 3995851, member: 5656"] On the other hand I hope you realize someday that some people can do things without magic too. Being large and threatening may be handicap for some things and a bonus to others. Based on yor posts, I understand that non-humanoid monsters need Polymorph, Sending and Charm - style spells to being able to interact with humanoid society, but sincerely I can't understand why are you unable to accept (and it's been pointed to you, many times, in the many threads dedicated to this kind of argument) that there are non-magical, and even magical means -through lackeys or allies, class levels, items or even rule zeroed or plot related- that the dragon, or any monster for that matter, can both interact with human society and defend his lair. If anything, your ideas with dragons seem fixated in an stereotype. Anyone seeing a dragon, no matter the circumsance or how the dragon approaches, will react with hostility and will be unable to cooperate or even speak with him. Anyone even tangentially threatened, opposed or in competition with or by a dragon will hire dragonslayers (who, since the dragon can't cast magic, will inevitably slay him) Nobody will think on dragons as a valuable ally, despite they being powerful and capable of any alignment, and so on. Seriously, there are other varieties of dragon-humanoid interaction. [/QUOTE]
