[QUOTE="Spiteful Dwarf, post: 1395503, member: 2061"] Hey. One of the biggest challenges I've faced in my time DMing is trying to come up with creative means of introducing Metallic Dragons into my games without resorting to the tired clichés of a Deus Ex Machina-type NPC. How can you give PCs the thrill of encountering a majestic Gold Wyrm or a saucy Juvenile Copper, without forcing them to either fight it, or listen to its Yoda-like musings? I want the diversity of dragons to reflect in my game, and so far, I've only been able to "successfully" portray de evil ones... I have Draconomicon (along with most other books), but I haven't found any really good ideas for making dragon encounters without having them become the wizened sage, or the ultimate warrior. Just curious to hear about any good-aligned dragons you've used in your campaigns... Let's see if we can brain-storm a bit. p.s: I am going to bed! If I don't immediately reply, it's because I am asleep! (or because I don't like you!) [/QUOTE]
