[QUOTE="Delgar, post: 5295396, member: 3195"] Well I leveled up this dragon and used it against my 6th level party. It was their 3rd encounter in the day. They had used a few daily's previously. The combat lasted only 2 rounds. The group managed to pump out enough damage to kill the dragon and not a single one of them was knocked unconcious. The reasons was do to a bit of good luck on the players side, combined with good tactics, combined with some good power use/tactics, and some bad luck on my side. In his opening salvo the dragon missed the wizard with his charge, and took a bunch of damage from a few characters before opening on his initiative with his breath weapon. He needed to eat an OA to get into a decent position, which the player critted on, and then he missed all three players that were in his blast with the breath weapon. He then ate a bunch more damage, followed by a daily crit. A strange sequence occured where the dragon got to use his tail sweep, which triggered the rangers interrupt, which bloodied the dragon, triggering the dragons breath weapon. Here he actually got a hit in with the breath weapon doing some damage. This is where they found out it did damage to them every time they hit it, bringing the warlord down to 1 hit point with ongoing 5 on him (well 10 because of gloom). The Avenger used his endure pain, to gain resist all 9, which meant all the acid splashing on him did only 1 point of damage, he then slide the dragon away from the warlord, and they pummeled it. Entire combat only took 2 rounds. Damn my players! [/QUOTE]
