[QUOTE="WhimsyTheFae, post: 2724451, member: 8964"] Well, I am still having a bit of trouble with this topic, as Dragons really have been done to death. But I do have a couple gaming experiences with dragons. First, as a player some 15 years ago, in a heavily homebrewed campaign my 9' tall human (wand of wonder made me tall) Indian (the DM was part Native American, so he had a class - think ranger on steroids) went hand to hand (or battleaxe to claws/teeth/breath) with a black dragon and would have been victorious if the dragon didn't breath and melee in the same round. Cheesy, all around...me for going toe-to-toe with a dragon, the dragon for not using flight to its advantage and the DM for having bad rules to make up for no strategy... Second, as a DM for a party of two (one a dwarf fighter and the other a centaur druid), a green dragon confronted the pair while on an important mission for "king and crown". After a somewhat silly battle, in which the druid did very little (the player was afraid of his character being killed - I believe that plant growth was his most offensive act) and the dwarf drank an enlarge potion and went toe-to-toe against the dragon, the dragon took a whole different tactic. Knowing that he could obliterate the dwarf (it wasn't really a close fight and I even had the dragon go into melee to give the party a fighting chance), the dragon went for the intimidation angle. The dwarf (whose player refuses to be cowed no matter what he plays) decided it was better to crawl away with 1 hp than bow down to the dragon. As the dwarf crawled away, the dragon decided to let him go...but...while the dwarf was still in sight, the dragon ordered the centaur druid to heal him. The druid promptly complied, sewing the seeds of party conflict for the rest of the campaign. Much anger was had by some (I laughed and laughed). The dragon got some information out of the druid and went off to his own devices (knowing that the druid would probably be worse off with his dwarven buddy than being eaten by the dragon). It's all the more fun when your two players have no depth in their roleplaying, are very predictable and are polar opposites. I'll stop rambling now...[b](no PDF needed, I've already won the one that I wanted)[/b] Later... [/QUOTE]
