[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5402469, member: 18507"] You can state in your campaign primer some player knowledge vs. character knowledge so that players who may (in the offchance) want to create monster-lore type characters will at least have some fore knowledge dragons are different. It seems you have a cosmetic change going on there for your dragons, but why stop there? For example, one question I have is why are the dragons rare? Were they rare to begin with or were they plentiful, but territorial fighting, a civil war, magic, etc. nearly wiped them out? Or has the lesser races gotten really effective at hunting and killing them? My own personal take is that if I'll make a creature truly rare, then I'm likely to have it truly powerful. For example, I could have the PC's encounter one dragon in the entire campaign, but it will be a fight and encounter that they will not forget (could even be the campaign climactic battle). [/QUOTE]
