Re: Why dragon are so hard...

I have recently put a dragon(the Necrosphinx actually) in a quest(he doesn’t fit even in the centre room, and I put just 4 squares inside the room), with 30 body points and they kill it without any loses. It has 5 spots to hit him, 8BP for each leg, 6BP for the head and 8BP for the body, but you had to take down all the parts to kill him.

Before they start I let them to do a full rest.

Dragon has an attack with wings: Push them back 1D6 squares and if they hit on a wall they get a hit with 4Attack.

A massive earthquake attack, 5Attack to everyone.

And finally 2xkicks and 2xranged attacks of 4Attack each.

He does his skills with a sequence and again and again. I put many body points and low attack score, just to keep the combat longer, but I could give +1 dice to each attack just to take down one or two of the heroes.

Sounds epic. I'd love to have a couple of gamers test out my dragon stats (kind of tedious rolling ALL
the rolls myself, you know). I'd like to see exactly how tough my dragons are.

At that, I've got lots of monsters I'd love to test. I've tested a few myself, against two heroes, but you
never know how skewed results will be when you test things yourself. People have different ways of
rolling that could effect results slightly. Just having more than one person breathing in the room
changes the air pressure and could change things (sure, I'm reaching for it...but, honestly, it COULD
be true).

No, he's right...for the most part. That's why, when you watch movies, dragons typically
wreck up the joint trying to get in and out of wherever it is they decide to lair.

Ha habido varias discusiones sobre el uso de dragones para HQ. Sinceramente, siempre he Lo pasé mal con los dragones en D&D ... aún más en HQ, simplemente por la simplicidad De ataques y defensas y tal. Quieres equilibrar la genialidad de los dragones. con la posibilidad de que los héroes ganen en algún momento ... tal vez con la pérdida de un compañero o dos. :D :D :D :D

So your Dragon took out one or two heroes? :D
I can't decide if that's right or not, but it sounds fun. :D

I have various dragon models of varying size, from the almost human sized D&D Black Dragon to the humungous Dragon from the Darkworld Trilogy. I think the only Dragon our Heroes have faced was the one at the end of the Dragon's Lair questpack. We played it a long time ago and I can't remember what figure I used, but I do remember the party was pretty beat up by the final dragon encounter, and it took out the Barbarian and the Wizard.
