[QUOTE="Tolen Mar, post: 2223912, member: 1295"] [B]Dragons[/B] The Encyclopedia Arcane (and its supplement, the Codex of Inane Monstrosities) will go on at length about the natural habitat of dragon, their preferred food source, and even goes so far as to list over 5,000 varieties of dragon in the know universe. It says that among other things, dragons are remarkably intelligent, clever, and cruel. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Dungeon adds the following: Dragons are very clever. So mind bogglingly clever, it boggles the mind just to try and comprehend the enormity of the creature's intellect. Their brains are so large, that even a manically depressed golem (now with genuine people personalities!) from the Sirius Arcanists Corporation would pack up shop after two minutes conversation. I mean think about it. They lurk in the deepest darkest pits of the worst, most dank dungeons in all of creation*. A beast 300 feet long, that has wings of the same length or longer somehow manages to find a way to end up in a cavern full of gold at the end of a tunnel just 10 feet from floor to ceiling. Thats the kind of cleverness we're talking about here. Don't go up against a dragon without a really powerful artifact, and an army of disposable NPC's (preferably lawyers). And don't think that throwing a towel over your head will help. It can see you, and it will eat you. *About creation: The guide does not mean to indicate that some ultra-powerful being in fact created the universe. When looked at logically, the universe is in fact too screwed up and illogical to have come from the mind of any being, unless that being were rediculously insane**. **The guide also admits that by most accounts, any and all gods are in fact terribly insane.
