[QUOTE="redwing, post: 2116059, member: 1430"] No this isn't another anecdote about a huge victory from a previous character of mine. This thread was inspired from the thread dealing with Malhavoc's Iron Lore release. There was mention of a dragon being slayed in an open field by a sinlge warrior. Does anyone remember the previews to Reign of Fire? The one where Matt McConhey (sp) is jumping toward the dragon with axe ready and the dragon is flying toward him? Well i thought that the movie was going to rock after seeing that. In the end, the scene took a whole 5 seconds. The dragon swallowed him whole. Where's the Heroism in that? Yeah I know, he sacrificed his own life, blah, blah, blah. Other great dragon battles I can recall are: Smaug, the one in Beowulf. The Point (and BADD will agree with me): Dragons aren't supposed to be defeated everyday. They are special and should be made out to be special. They should be EPIC. I ran a game the other day where a dragon was terrorizing a country, and hopefully the PC's would leave it be for later levels and give me some time to throw in some story with it. What do they do? Just because I mention dragon, they run off to fight it. TPK. don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a mythical battle of one-on-one, man vs. dragon. But it's got to be right, its got to be epic. How do you all feel about battling dragons? What sort of tactics do you feel would be necessary for a one-on-one fight with a dragon (may not be included in the current rules). How could you put that epic feeling back into the man vs. dragon fight? [/QUOTE]
