[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 176755, member: 1131"] Greetings! Hmmm...well, platform shoes on Dwarves does sound strange!:) The whole keen sight thing with dragons certainly obviates the need for Blindsight, I can understand. However, I'm not quite sure that I understand how anyone can't see how providing an ancient Great Wyrm with Wizard levels isn't workable, or somehow, not desirable from the Dragon's viewpoint. To wit: A Great Wyrm is incredibly powerful; However, Dragons certainly have the interest, the passion, and the capacity to benefit from having all of the abilities of a Wizard, in addition to their natural abilities. I'm not sure that I can see why a Dragon, as intelligent as they are, wouldn't want to develop his abilities as a Wizard, in particular, but other classes could offer things as well. Dragons are, after all, extremely intelligent, and seek to maximize everything about themselves, one would think. It would be like saying to the Dragon, in meta-game speak: "Dragon, don't you see that if you train in 15 levels of Wizard, and 5 levels of Arch-Mage, you will have many more skills and spells, and your power will be greatly increased?" So says the friendly security consultant, hired through the local B.A.D.D Guild. The Dragon turns his great head towards the neatly dressed human, speaking confidently, "No! No! I don't need more spells, more skills, or more powers! I'm already powerful enough! I don't need to be improved! My abilities as stated in the Monster Manual are sufficient! It hurts my pride to think that I somehow need to be "improved!"Hmmph! How much is the monthly security package?" Just some thoughts though.:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
