[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9254121, member: 23751"] You are now arguing on my side. My point, and this is true, is that the game per the guidelines permits situations where militia(not commoners) can threaten a dragon. My point was further that dragons need to be made more powerful to prevent that. Your change to dragons due to what a 5e town of 1000 can do to dragons as written is what I have been arguing for. We are now on the same side! :) As for your argument that the militia are commoners, well so are thugs, veterans, wizards, acolytes, cultists, assassins, bandits, and on and on. Anyone not a noble is a commoner. That they separate out types of commoners and give them different stat blocks(assassin, bandit, veteran, etc.) means that a militia stat block is right in line with game design. I see no good reason to limit militia to the commoner stat block when so many other commoners have different stat blocks. Edit: I missed this. How is almost free beyond the cost for a town? Anyone that can craft a bow can just walk into the forest and cut an appropriate branch for bow making at no cost at all. The material has to be worth half, not how much they pay for it. That free stick is worth half the bow. Bow strings aren't more than a few coppers. A few coppers are what the longbow or shortbow cost to make. [/QUOTE]
