I did not try to kill the Gold and Green for role playing purposes but the White , Blue and Red ones were fairly simple. I can see them being hard with some classes but with a cleric they just seem to easy or maybe I was just really lucky.

The First one the White Dragon I actually had a decent battle with, spells like Blade Barrier, and destruction(I am actually surprised it didn't kill him out right), worked quite well. I had him at badly wounded when my cleric started running out of spells that could harm him. I cast harm, bang one more hit and he was gone. (I actually enjoyed this battle because I didn't kill him right away so got to try different things)

Then there was the cheesy blue one, well I had to kill him after reading the books about the ceremony and he was sleeping so why not use harm? WoW it worked again, he did manage to get off some acid before he died.

Then the all scary red dragon. Might as well try harm, crap it did work, down goes my henchman, down goes my summon. Cast "Destruction", fails saving throw dragon who was barley injured is now dead.

So you see what I mean. It is nice that my cleric can get his spells to work but In BG II I remember this battles with dragons that lasted like 20 minutes. I am overjoyed that my cleric has such powerful spells that are actually worth memorizing because they work, but I found the battles with these behemoth slightly disappointing, I guess I should be thankful that I didn't take another class and curse a swear about how hard they were if that would have been the case. Did anyone else feel disappointed by these battles?

Oh and I thought the dragons looked awsome.
