[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6193776, member: 92511"] hmmmm...how to sum up my thoughts... 1) Felldrake sucks. Drop it. Drakes works just fine. 2) If question number 3 allowed you to choose as many as you want, like the question says, I seVEREly doubt answer #1 would be the highest rating. 3) Who sez hobgoblins need to "wrangle or breed" any kinda creature? 4) Who sez a wizard needs to guard their tower with guard dogs, owlbears or drakes? Hello?...Wizard here...ever heard of magic spells? Alarm? Guards & Wards? Pay a cleric friend for a Glyph of Warding? Why does a wizard need or want a smelly animal that requires charming or training and feeding (all of which costs money!)? This is what these "professional game designers" get paid to talk about?! 5) Dragonspawn are badidea unnecessarynonsense. Lose 'em. 6) "Drakes are to dragons are as specters are to ghosts"...In the immortal words of Cleveland Brown, "Surriously"?! See #4. Need I say more...and fyi, I don't know too many low-level PCs who are going around fighting a buncha spectres without getting their energy-drained dead butts handed to them. I mean, I get the explanation of them as "story-lite baby dragon"...but I would hardy make the same distinction between spectres and ghosts. 6a) It's spelled "specTRES", btw, I don't care what the article or ENworld's spellcheck says!
