Re: 14-Hex Dragon
So they can disbelieve YOUR illusions easier.

Re: 14-Hex Dragon
What talents does the average dragon know?
Note how I try to square "very status conscious" while only "found alone or in small family groups" here: http://www.hcobb.com/tft/house_rules.html#dragons

So even if you had the ST to stack multiple layers of 'wall', it is unlikey to extend high enough to truly trap the beast. He should be able to simply climb over it or, since it would be free-standing, he could probably generate enough force thru mass and momentum to knock it down. And where does it say that a spell-created stone wall is 4 ft thick? 4x4x10 sounds like a big pillar to me, not a wall (until you start connecting them). And why assume it has the density of granite?

Re: 14-Hex Dragon
Meh, I think most dragons follow the philosophy of "burn 'em all and let the gods deal with the mess". ;)

Re: 14-Hex Dragon
Good point. A 14-hex dragon is probably at least 5 or 6-hexes of heavily scaled tail muscle. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that swipe.

Re: 14-Hex Dragon
I routinely give spells to 7 hex dragons and always to 14 hex dragons. I understand it isn't canon rules, but whatever.
Also, I'm not offended by the ST scores of 4 hex dragons; they are babies, not the real deal. I don't understand how anyone could think that a 14 hex dragon on the ground in its lair would be easy to defeat (even ignoring the optional addition of some spells). It does a lot of damage, has a lot of armor, can't be killed quickly, and has access to several attack forms. Other than powerful magic items or some made-up special scenario, I'm not sure how an ordinary party playing under the current rules would approach the situation. |
