[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4598019, member: 10784"] The players will be shipbound and are all level 10. The party is: Elf Fighter 2/Paladin of Freedom 8 Human Rogue 10 Human Cleric 10 Dwarf Fighter 10 Halfling Psion 10 They also have an Elf Ranger 3/Scout 3 with them as well as a crew of 16, most of whom are Level 1 experts, though the Captain is a level 8 expert. I think the black dragon may be size Huge, which would make it a Mature Adult, CR 14. The party has one fly potion, and I know the psion can cast Levitate, and has a pretty good arsenal of attack spells. My fear is making the encounter at sea would be too much an advantage for the dragon - since at least one of the heavy hitters would need the dragon to land on the ship in order to have everybody attack it. The cleric is an archer, so is pretty good with ranged attacks. But, the elf paladin & dwarf fighter are melee-oriented, as is the rogue. Maybe a couple more "fly" potions are needed, or a wizard NPC can tag along? I would assume most of the crew would duck down below, cowering in fear. would the dragon just continue to strafe the ship with its acid breath? [/QUOTE]
