These magnificent magical creatures are fun, festive, and prone to unexpected mood swings. Prismatic Dragons keep a very neat lair with tasteful, yet bold use of space and color. They're also 40th level, and have over 1000 hit points!

Hmm... an encounter with a Prismatic Dragon or a Deep Rothe? Well, erm... maybe I should... yeah, I definitely prefer the Deep Rothe. At least I can get out of that encounter alive

I am always in favor of new creature skins. and whatever stats the normal ones have do not really matter to me since ill make something with the skin myself when I biuld. High level monsters as that dragon are never balanced since each mod has it's own powerlevel and level cap.
Long story short; Bring on the new skins! they look great |

Did I read that right? Did that say an AC of 70? Is that even possible, or is that the game's way of telling us not to bother? |

They are indeed very cool beatifull, colourfull but...No match for a lvl 40 char. I have one in my mod SoF (Soul of Fire) it is the king dragon (because of it's appearance I had to boost it's hp. For starters 1000hp AC 70 give me a break. When there's a decent monk in front of him I give him hmm...5 secs? Anyway this creature should have at least AC 85 and hp...Depending on the kind of server at least 3000-9000. But he  Still the coolest drag in the game |

You can edit this message out if you want but I just thought I should be the moron to say it but: who thought that description up, Bioware or D&D, well whomever it was were you trying to appeaze the gay community or did it just for a laugh.
*sorry If that was a little mean but I had to let it out, it's like drinking doctor pepper and needing to burp!*
D&D people you can tear me to peices now!
-the moron who said it! |

for the record all the epic level hand book says is "these dragons are flamboyant personable and charming"
note, this does NOT imply in any way that prisamatic dragons are "the vally girl dragon" or something, I'm rather dissapointed in biowares description. |

The description bioware gives these dragons are more far more entertaining to read than the "gay" whining you guys are engaging in. It's humorous, quite humorous and I actually look forward to reading them! .And yes I give this description #2 under the Azer one which always makes me laugh
These aren't the official description that you get when you look at the monster in game so who cares if they make humorous description on the website. D&D is supposed to be FUN, do you guys know that word fun? You might of experienced it when you weren't playing one of your religiosuly enforced Roleplay Persistent Worlds where they ban you for saying "Thy" when you should of said "Thou" or didn't bow when DM walked by.Edited By DrDread on 12/10/03 22:55 |

a few things really - but first of all cool that Bio-ware have introduced the toughest monster in D&D into the game - another thing a 40th level character would/should not have a hope in hell in beating this type of dragon if it was directly from the D&D books - CR60 not 36 - so A3 - your 40th level monk if he was in D&D real game wouldn't have a chance really.. - another thing - I think the description is cool - but one gripe I do have is that these dragons have the highest CR rating in the epic level handbook therefore are/should be the toughest thing any character could/would face other than a lesser deity - so maybe a little more emphasis on the fact that a character or party should not mess with one of these dragons may have given it a little more justice. |
