Why would a dragon NOT take Antimagic field?

[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 6256750, member: 78958"] Might I also suggest a slight variation in tactics: Ray of Enfeeblement is a weak spell for a dragon of this caliber to even consider using. A Split, Empowered or Split, Maximized one might be useful, I'll give you that, but the effects still go away inside an AMF, so why bother? How about just "buffing up" with some Shivering Touch (holding the charge) right before combat starts, and use it as part of the first claw/claw/bite/wing/wing/tail slap routine? Also, concerning spell and feat selection, I'd really like to see Practiced Spellcaster (instead of Wingover, maybe), and Scintillating Scales (instead of Invisibility, which is redundant). Recover Breath, too, is a wasted feat IMO, since you'll probably only use one breath attack all combat long - it's just better to replace it with Maximize Breath or something to really punch home that one breath, or use Quickened Breath to do other stuff in the same round. Why not both? Scintillating Scales is a spell no high-level dragon should be without, as touch AC is really the one big, glaring hole in its defenses. Turning natural armor into a deflection bonus is a nice way of dealing with this. Also works great with Barkskin. Magic Missile, seriously? Silent Image at least has some potential use. But eh, that's 1st level spells in a CR 21 anyway, so whatever. [/QUOTE]
