On the subject of Tolkien's dragons.. You're thinking of Ancalagon the Black.. He was so massive when he was slain, his corpse crushed three mountains when he hit the ground.

@Burncsb 5 лет назад

We have an RPG adaptation of Dark Souls universe, using DnD mechanics, with "Ancalodon" as one the Archdemons.

I never truly grasped the sheer might that an ancient Red Dragon is capable of wielding until Mathew Mercer talked about them after the Chroma Conclave story arc in the first campaign of Critical Role. Able to go toe to toe with a Gold Dragon? That's nuts on a level that most top level characters won't ever even witness.

@iitim2152 3 года назад

Red dragons never fight corporately, at best they might view it as separately attacking the same opponent, even then it would have to be a truly epic enemy such as an ancient Gold or Silver. I suspect that scenario ends with The red killing the other chromatic immediately after.

@Girazard 5 лет назад

Hey Dungeoncast. I just to tell you guys that your videos/podcast bring me so much joy and give me so many ideas for my current t campaign. Great humor. I've been going through alot lately due to my mother being diagnosed with stomach cancer, car failure, no dental insurance for a wisdom tooth etc. But I'm able to enjoy 30min-1hr a week when you release content on lore and i love it. DnD is such a healthy temporary escape from the real world. About to start listening to your campaigns too. You guys do truly make a difference and your "NERDom" and its awesome. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Hopefully by next month I'll be a patreon supporter for you guys. You 2 are funny AF and great.

Red dragons! Classic stuff! What means one hour of top notch information~

@pst5345 2 года назад

dragons are melee bosses for me. They also need to calculate being ambushed in their lair without the advantage of being in the air. That is why my dragons always are built for melee combat. The group thinks the dragon is locked in with them... but in fact they are locked in with him! Add a platform of healing and the dragon becomes unkillable.

@Burncsb 5 лет назад

So, basically, Red Dragons are spoilled kids with power and intelligence beyond comprehension... got it.

@nickabsent958 5 лет назад

"Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon." - Shadowrun "Street Proverb". Shadowrun handled dragons just like you guys described and as a cyberpunk fantasy system is not only awesome fun to play but has great lore over dragons returning to a "modern world" where they settle into high government offices, become CEO of corporations or possibly just hide and manipulate things as they wish.

@thomasalegredelasoujeole9998 4 года назад

Hah, the nat 20 meme. Had a player who tried to convince a king he was to marry the king’s daughter, and nat 20’d the roll. He was arguing it should be a total success. I ended up having the king only flogging him instead of executing him for such a ludicrous attempt.

I love the idea of summoning fire elementals or the fire aura. Since the legendary actions are kind of weak I like to give them one where they can cast the cantrip that is their element (Firebolt, shocking grasp, poison spray etc etc) at the max level.

Nat 20 is only an auto success on a To Hit roll. Skill checks and Saves it just means you get they highest number you can get. That doesn't mean it is a success. You as the DM can set the DC to whatever you want.

Where would Idris Y Ddraig Ghoch sit on the dragon scale? Idris is always a red dragon but is always on the good Welsh side fighting the tyranny of the White dragon representing the Angles and Saxons. I kinda feel like Idris would be somewhere between Gold and Bronze, just being a red color.

@Kuidasaintseenimi 5 лет назад

Great video as usually. Though I have a question: although reds are the "by deafult" greatest of the chromatic ones, is it feasible that the "god-level" schemers green dragons sometimes try to subjugate them (or other dragons in that case) under their will? PS: Hope to see Halfling deities and more halfling videos.

@davidafonso3201 5 лет назад

Well, in my opinion, it is pretty much how will say you are able to seduce the dragon, but it isn't necessarily a good thing, he will probably grab you and put you into his lair as a concubine. That is how at least I treat this situation on the eyes of the party he is going to a bad thing in the eyes of the monster he is actually going to do a normal/ good stuff. Great show as usual :D

@Zakharon 5 лет назад

I know you guys do 5th edition content, but I think it would be a great idea to do episodes on 4e classes that were not carried over (if and when you run out of 5e classes) and go over how they worked and maybe spitball ideas of how to adapt them because I feel like a lot of cool classes got left behind.

@leodouskyron5671 5 лет назад

Slew One I got to disagree. The are red ring (singular) Orange on the Emotional spectrum (greed) is really about getting stuff and for Red dragons getting stuff just shows how bad scales they are. And keeping it from others the same showing you are bad as heck. But the red emotional spectrum is about RAGE. The space creature that embodies it is called “The butcher” and it came about once murder happened in the galaxy. The only thing that does not fit is that Red dragons are all about their freedom to do what they like. So if there is one dragon with a ring they would take it from Atrocious to be the prime ring holder and the other reds would try to get the only free ring holder spot.

@@99thJediWarrior my sources may have been out-dated, however Tiamat is herself a Lawful Evil "deity" worshipped by cromatic dragons and their followers in general (hence the "Cult of the Dragon"), similar to how Bahamut is Lawful Good and revered by metallics.

@scatteredplanes6667 5 лет назад

Everybody talks about skyrim but the best dragon fights I've played in a video game was in dragons age Inquisition. Way more engaging.

@InquisitorThomas 5 лет назад

Scattered Planes I haven't played Dragon Age Inquisition but I have played Origins and 2, and I agree with you. Dragon Fights in Skyrim are super epic when you're starting out, but eventually they begin to feel like a glorified fight with a random bear, they're just a nuisance that get between you and where you want to go. The battles with Dragons in Dragon Age felt like special events, the ultimate test of your skills.

@scatteredplanes6667 5 лет назад

@@InquisitorThomas yeah especially once you got the dragon rend shout it was just a formula. Shout attack repeat. But if your wondering this is the "first dragon" fight in the game ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3JvS9zkIYxk.html ) it's just one of the ten set piece fights with dragon not even counting the dlc ice dragon fight on a frozen while the dragon rains down ice bombs from the sky.

@zionthedragon8866 4 года назад

Your all, well mostly, wrong. The best dragon fight is from DS2 Sinh, when you play as a knight with a wand, sword, shield, and cross bow. The second game with the best dragon fights are dragon's Dogma, which ironically made monster hunter, which is what dragon age INQUISITION dragons felt like, over glorified monsters. I liked DAO-DA2 dragons better. The only think that sells DAI dragons are their unique horns, breath weapons, new roars that shake everything, and larger spikes, and maybe colors if they weren't so bright. Skyrim "dragons" SUCK BALLS.... while it's cool they can interact with the environment like landing onto of things with their wings on it, and when the fall make a dirt streak on the ground, not to mention the RARE occasional bite, you shake you, and spit you out gag, they are quite lacking. Heck, in redgaurd there was a BETTER "Dragon" fight, and it had bad pixels.
