It's good in so many ways.1/ Dragons now have a use for wands, scrolls, etc. so that stuff gets put in their treasure (and PC mages & clerics get it later).2/ Tactical smart dragons will use their spells intelligently -- which means fun for the DM (me) designing their spell load-out based on their personality. Does a dragon take mage armor or divine favor or comprehend languages? It's an interesting question, I think.3/ Dragon caster level is low for their CR, so a PC spellcaster (who can't really hope to affect a dragon much directly, thanks to its immunities, SR and saves) can contribute mightliy by stripping off all its buffs. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />4/ Dragon lairs are famous for their traps. A spellcasting dragon can be so much fun if it actively contributes to the traps! "Ooo, you hear a very deep growl (spellcraft roll please) and suddenly the ladder out of the pit is greased!"5/ Really ancient good dragons may be the only non-deity-aligned source for high-level divine magic. That's a cool implicit campaign feature.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
