[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 799620, member: 710"] It depends somehow on the actual size of the beast - if it is the CR 12 version you and the others indicate, you will have no chance, unless the DM plans something else for you (maybe that you don`t fight him?) A Net can make flying difficult (and its only a Touch attack to get it on the dragon). Just to be sure get more than one net ready, because if no one of you is proficient with it, making it ready again will take to long. If the Dragon is forced to fight indoors, he cannot use his fly ability to best advantage, so try to get him there. The mounted combat expert will, unfortunately, also have trouble indoors, but maybe you can set up a situation where he can at least try to charge his opponent.. If you are forced to fight outdoors, or you have some vegetation indoors, the Druid should have an Entangle handy... Summon Swarm might be useful, too, though it does only really help against spellcasters... It might be best to avoid coming in close formations, because his breath weapon would make this a real short fight - but that`s obvious. The archer and maybe any other character that doesn`t expect to survive a hand to hand combat with the Dragon should use his arrows and bolts as best as possible. Consider using Tower Shields and other means of covers. Maybe you should find a kind of decoy, so the dragon uses his breath weapon (without harming anyone) and then attack him in the 1d4-1 rounds of flaming free time. (Summon Nature`s Ally might help here..) Oh, do you, as an Fire ELementalist, don`t get Magic Missile? I know, it is not that impressive and without fire, but always useful ...
