Wait, you ATE the dragon? Fucking awesome

After I rammed the party's airship into a dragon while it was leaving its lair, that being the third time in three campaigns I have solved a large problem via ramming an airship into it, the DM declared that I am no longer allowed to fly airships, or have a background involving flying airships.

It really isn't hard. Remember that CR is an enoucnter in which the PCs use like 1/5th of their resources. They can easily take down something higher, it's just more likely someone will die. Three levels difference in CR vs APL really isn't very much. Especially when Sharpshooter and Great Weapons Master are involved.

No. We've got two cows as bait.
Eat a dragon -- boring cliche

Oh man, I just ran this recently.

It was a dragon that focused on illusion magic. The group faced the dragon that was actually a permanent image and the actual dragon would throw fireballs and slap the characters around with Bigby's clenched fist whilst hidden. Eventually, some members of the team were able to see though the illusion, go through a hidden door, to where a second, good, dragon was chained up and being used to amplify the evil dragon's psychic powers. Once freed, the good dragon would discover the bad dragon, end the illusion, and keep the bad dragon occupied while the group focused on piling damage on the bad dragon. Eventually the good dragon would go down and hopefully the group had weakened the evil dragon enough to kill it before it killed them. Sure enough, the group won. Thru out their adventures, they had amassed weapons that dealt bleeding damage, which added up and the dragon eventually bled to death.

The thing is, the dragon was way too high a level for the group. The encounter was actually more of a fighting the environment; the characters had to navigate trough blinding whirlwinds, dodging falling rocks from the ceiling, taking random tail whips every now and then, and of course, surviving the breath weapon.

Damn, talk about a brutal way to kill a dragon

I know that feel fellow user. Do you too dream of a day when you take part in cutting such a wondrous and fearsome beast?

Back in the old 3.5 days (almost a decade ago, now I think about it), our party had a sky castle on a cloud. We had heard tell of a dragon nearby that had a hoard, and we were short on funds to expand our psionic-crystal-mining operation and fancy up our ground property.

Dragon comes up to meet us, Colour Sprays the lot of us, and dazes 2/3rds of the party. We lob some spells and arrows back, and the next round starts. As a druid, I was fond of Call Lightning Storm, and since we were on a Cloud, my GM allowed me the 5d10 instead of 5d6. Zotted the Dragon with one lightning bolt, and as it lay dying, I approached it. Looking it in the eye gave me the ability, once per week, to turn 10 square feet of water Solid (not ice, but Solid). Made some chromatic breastplate out of it since I couldn't wear metal. Was pretty cool, despite the anti-climactic second-round-kill.

Haven't even Seen another Dragon in all the other games I've plated, aside from pithy Wyrmlings recently.

Not exactly OT but fun

Felt so fucking awesome

Was riding a dragon as a battle master and used tripping attack. GM thought I said something else, so he let it pass after the dragon failed the save. Once he found out I said tripping attack about 45 minutes later once the dragon was dead and we had received our loot, he was a little mad

On a related note, can you kill somebody using dust of dryness? Make them inhale it and instant mummy?

This story annoyed me at the time it was posted but I forgot about it. You've brought my long-repressed autism to the surface again. I hope you're fucking happy.

There are very few dragons in my setting, less still that actually show up in the campaign at all. I feel that dragons have a certain inherent value to them that I don't want to excessively inflate: I keep them rare.

The one dragon I want my party to face, one day, is Argun the Conflagrator from my favorite AD&D module, Dark Tower - but I haven't yet managed to keep a game alive long enough to get them to the level required for this challenge.

One day, though. One day.
