[QUOTE="Belzbet, post: 5874904, member: 6678902"] Because of a dragons magic, etc. I dont really think 1000archers can take on a dragon older than adult (or at least older than old) but in this scenario we are only talking about the 50 archers that passed their will save for frightful presence. The other 950 that get back into the game are just a plus, we can say that 50 archers can spread out 55ft from each other and still be in range of an attacking dragon, they may form a circle or a zigzag pattern, etc.' range increment of a longbow is 100ft and max range increment id 10 (or 1000ft) (and the range penalty to attack is not an issue since they can only ht on a crit. anyway). Also, a dragon may be smart but sometimes a dragon attacks a village for one reason or another (whay if they are qeas quested or dominated or simply just hungry, etc.). With this kind of reasoning we would say that a group of PC's can VERY RARELY kill a dragon (since they are SOOO smart they will retreat if their lives are threatened, and since they have AWESOME overland speed there are few PC groups that can keep up with a dragon; maybe this is how some DM's play dragons but...).
