... wanna see how to realllly mess around with Dragons?

Click here

Some notes, my party was on average Lvl 12, except the Multi-class, which were Lvl 10.

Used reloads to show other ways to mess around with Dragons. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Vic- er... I mean the test subject for this ludricous fight was the Shadow Dragon.

Things I learnt, Polymorph nullifies Dragon's Breath. The Dragon still uses it, but it does not work.

People don't give enough credit to Chromatic Orb in fights versus Dragons. Just cast 4-5 Greater Malisons and bombard it with COs.

Fighting squirrels is a lot of fun, especially the powerful ones. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Said squirrel can kill a Mountain Bear.

Very impressive! Good job!

nice job, just one note - Greater Malison doesn't stack. anything after the first casting is a waste. use Doom, that stacks http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Greater Malison does not stack?

Hmmmm... more memory slots for Polymorph.

You know, if the dragon polymorphed himself into like, a squirel and entered some big city...

Greater Malison does not stack? Are ya sure?

Starkiller 08-25-2001 03:33 AM

I believe it did stack, but some of the patchs stop it from doing so. It is not supposed to stack

Don't polymorph, petrify and disintegrate spells destroy carried items?
Great job, by the way
My party was way beyond level 12 before I dared to attack the dragons http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Heh, Polymorph will not destroy items, however, Petrify and Disintegrate will.

I generally fight the Shadow Dragon at Party Lvl 12, Firkragg at 15 and Max for the Black Dragon.

Which is kinda overkill for the Black, because well... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif I don't get scratched... Firkragg puts up a good fight though.
