In OD&D, a very small number of red dragons would get spells (85%*15%=13%), and they're allowed up to 3rd level. Gold dragons do automatically use spells up to 6th level, so that really would be a tactic for them (and one I skipped over for BOW).<br /><br />UWS Guy -- Well, I was talking about Book of War, which doesn't include any of those fear effects. Of course, you're right that they're in Chainmail (but not any other version of the game).Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-8077555668315447562012-01-19T20:12:33.634-05:002012-01-19T20:12:33.634-05:00Super heroes, wizards, and I guess you can add cle...Super heroes, wizards, and I guess you can add clerics w/turn undead, force morale checks without a loss of figures.UWS guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277557128674527225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-20257819729418718742012-01-19T20:10:41.546-05:002012-01-19T20:10:41.546-05:00Largely the "magical missiles only" shou...Largely the "magical missiles only" shouldn't really be necessary as a rule on its own- intelligent dragons capable of casting 3rd level spells+ have access to Protection From Normal Missiles (Arrows in later editions), so this should be pretty standard for them before any proper battle. Problem solved, no new rule needed.<br /><br />If this is really an issue, just give dragons a #/day (3 same as breath weapon?) free castings of the spell- this would allow a wizard to turn Dispel Magic into an offensive spell by letting normal archer units target the now unprotected dragon.Duskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925274446793976278noreply@blogger.com
