Your Advice, Are White Dragons especially vulnerable to fire?

[mikebr99]

or if they're white dragons with access to a few buckets of red paint...


"I am the great Fire Dragon of the Ice Cave! Grrrr!"

Because it's friggin COLD in there and my firey-hot breath is misting!

That isn't easy to spot, tho.

And if you're playing 3.0, its:

COLD
A “cold” creature is immune to cold damage. It takes double damage from fire unless the fire attack allows a saving throw for half damage, in which case it takes half damage on a successful save and double damage on a failed save.

Nor that difficult:

"Special abilities: Icewalking, immune to cold, vulnerable to fire"

Of course, he could just use illusions to look like a red dragon (or a red dragon could use illusions to look like a white dragon). And AFAIK there's a spell that changes the type of your breath weapon. So this red-in-white's-clothing will have a lot of fun freezing you and receive a warm, tingling feeling in his stomach (your meteor swarms and fireball spells)

Ah, right, dragons actually have that information listed, unlike many other monsters, where you need to look up the Cold subtype information.

I have actually done the white dragon in reds clothing trick. However, it was opposite. My high level party enjoyed ridding the realm of evil dragons and outsiders, thus many enemies.

I had an Ancient Red who had been terrorizing many a town polymorphed as a white. He had help from his Frost Giant Barbarian who was actually a polymorphed Pit Fiend Sorceror.

The party was quite surprised when the vengeful deceict was revealed.

Painting the dragons is fun, but it gets worse; I've seen DMs pull out homonyms. You haven't seen nasty until you gear up for the "white" dragon you were told about, only to find yourself facing a "wight" dragon. Elemental protection spells don't do much against energy drain!

A few months later, we went out to fight a "red" dragon, only to find that it was an animated origami sculpture made of used newspapers-- a "read" dragon. The DM spent the next five minutes dodging all our pointiest dice. (After he stopped laughing, he admitted that this encounter was an April Fool's Day dream sequence.)
