    I didn't fight the dragon in your personal hell, but i did fight the silver dragon once, I died quickly, but as i said only once and it normaly takes more than one turn at a dragon doesn't it?

    can you summon a dragon in anyway?
    can a high level mage suumon a dragon as a familiar?
    i'm talking about ad&d in general, not only BG.

    Only in the Dragon Lance world, I think. They treat Dragons as fodder there, from the books I've read.

    I don't think a dragon can be a familier to a mage, even in Dragon Lance. (Not counting psudodragons or fairy dragons)

    In Dragon Lance, you can be a Solomic Knight (which is somewhere between a paladin and fighter), who gets to ride a dragon. Then the dragon is more of an NPC - intelligent, friendly, and still not to be messed with.

    In the Dragon Lance story line, they are definitely not fodder (at first). The character's first encounter with a black dragon is almost "game over" for the whole group! Just the dragon fear stopped nearly everyone.

    The later (and more poorly written) books downplay this a ton!

    you can summon a dragon to fight with with cheats. but i died right away, but it could be a surefire way of going up levels.

    [​IMG] so if u kill the silver dragon it only gives u the stuff u need for the tanner thing and that human skin armour which only chaotic evil can wear?
    red dragon gives u the paladin sword and red dragon scales for the armour
    shadow dragon gives u the shadow dragon scales and some gems
    but what do u get from the other dragons and what are the best tactics for each dragon im not takling about those tactics everyone takes against dragons they are good but i beleave that its better making stuff that works against different ones.

    I´d suggest to do it the more traditional and IMHO more satisfying way: Hack`n`slash :)

    Place some melee fighters around him and let them attack altogether with your mages/ clerics opening some spell fire (breach/ magic missiles/ lower resistance and whaever else you consider to be useful). Or summon some creatures to keep the dragon at a distance .... and take him on with ranged weapons. Whatever you like ;)

    Btw-1: the shadow dragon has the scroll of crom faeyr :)

    Btw-2: human flesh armor can be worn by all evil creatures and is an excellent leather armor: it offers +4 on all rescue throws and +20% Magicresistence and has AC 3

    Btw-3: I´m not totally sure here but I think the black dragon in Sulandessalar has the elven chain mail +4 on his body - :mad: - like all this neat elven stuff to late to be really useful in the game :mad:

    [​IMG] An idea - the shadow dragon is undead so I have some problems to imagine finger of death take effect on him (I actually never tried that) ... Has anyone tried daystar´s effect (sunray IIRC) on him and some these counter undead cleric spells or the mace of disruption?

    Has anyone been able to turn it with his cleric? :D

    The shadow dragon is not undead.If he was I think he would be called a dracolich.

    If I am wrong and he is undead I say hack your character to level 40 and make big dragon chunks with turn undead!

    TIN_MAN - Do you see the second post in this thread? And the ones after it? If you don't have anything new to add, please don't post (especially incorrectly)...
