[QUOTE="evan, post: 6477540, member: 6784973"] I call nonsense. Nowhere does it say: [B]"Charge the Dragon at 1st level." [/B]Nor does it intimate that challenging the dragon is even [I]required. [/I]And plot immunity? Please. In fact, it say pretty clearly on pages 6-7: [COLOR=#3A4145][FONT=times new roman][I]"Characters can engage in several encounters while cultists and kobolds rampage through Greenest.
