Lilswanwillow - 1/21/2006 4:17 AM but, if someone had triggered it earlier, then it will say that, and then.... its somewhere else. I LIKE the idea of a dragon being there, I sure as heck will stay clear of the rift (if others hadn't already told me that it was a horrid place) because of the dragon. (and the giants, and the golems...) and, this is a RP ing world: things are SUPPOSED to just pop up sometimes. Consider that the dragon has an area, and be cautious. AND be glad that it can't go too far, and that it doesn't go to Hlint. THAT would make for some good rp'ing... its supposed to happen, and YES I would die. BUT, its just a game, and its just a character. Yeah, I'm working hard on her. BUT I accept the fact that there are things bigger than me flying around, and being destructive. In the type of world that Layo is, and in most books ya read, dragons don't just stay in one spot: they go out to hunt, get gold, cause problems, eat cows... all sorts of bad things. AN if it kills me: oh well, thats what dragons do!!!
Lalaith Va'lash - 1/21/2006 4:47 PM Your right about much of this. But as I see it the point was not that Dragons should stay in one spot, but ... Dragons don't have 50 ranks in Move silently. You would be able to hear where the dragon was and back away before you and him saw each other. As it is now, your only warning is sight. And since the dragon sees father than you... well. You get the picture.

Not if it stomps around, but a Bone Dragon perched on a rock face swopping down from a dark sky wouldn't give much in the way of warnings. I have never used a dragon in a campaign who didn't use darkness, cloud cover or height to its advantage and dragons can (if smart) move both fast, silent and effectively unseen. I do agree we are rather limited by the NWN engine (game mechanics) when it comes to monsters, but in all fairness it works both ways, but having said that I agree there MAY be problems with this one encounter.
