Re: [MH] Dragons
I once ran a Monster Hunters campaign where a form of Dragon was awoken in Vancouver, Canada. The legends said only a Thunderbird could kill it. So one of the players stole a Thunderbird from a car lot and drove it into the thing's mouth off the Granville Street Bridge at 100 km. It was such a wild plan that I ruled that it worked. Players are crafty buggers, it's true...

Otherwise... I mean, I don't disagree. It's always weird that Inhuman PCs are completely incapable of going toe to toe with the Enemy versions; I've never once played a game with an Inhuman PC where they didn't ask "Why aren't I this Tough?" but... them's the breaks! For what it's worth, I often use the champion version for low level enemies and NPCs to help Inhuman PCs feel more like members of that race, and save the Enemy versions for important or powerful enemies. |

Re: [MH] Dragons
There's an adventure seed for you. The hunters have to deal with a Mad Necromancer who's trying to resurrect a dragon. Instead he gets a herd of ghost dinosaurs... You could play up the humor, or you could have the PCs stalked by incorporeal velociraptors.

I can't think of an example where the good guy monster was weaker than the bad guy monsters. Much more often the Law of Conversation of Ninjitsu results in the very opposite. This is...a pretty elegant solution. It also leaves open the possibility that with experience they could become as powerful as the monster versions.
