Taeldrin Laesrash 08-21-07, 11:32 AM	From what I've read, the swan song of Dragon has some epic stuff in it: The Time Dragon, from CR 24 at Wyrmling age to CR 90 at Great Wyrm. Sounds really cool. Anyone have this?
rob_douglas 08-21-07, 05:02 PM	Yep - got it. Ecology of the Tarrasque too. And some info on demon lords, including a reworking of Lascer - though he is WAY less powerful than the original. The Time Dragon repeated the weird writing in Epic Dragons that makes you wonder if it has a special Empower and Maximize ability, or access to different versions of the feats than are in the books as special epic dragon feats.... It is actually a little weak in not haveing Time Duplicate as an SLA. Sure - it becomes immune to all non-instantaneous effects eventually and can use Time Stop at will. But Who can't? ;) ROB
Tequila_Sunrise 08-21-07, 07:39 PM	Paizo's last Dragon magazine is an awesome blow-out. El v. Raist? C'mon who hasn't thought about that? Anyway, I love the idea of the biggest and baddest dragon of 'em all being true neutral, but I hate all time-related stuff in fantasy so I'm pretty split on the time dragon.
Taeldrin Laesrash 08-22-07, 09:35 PM	I really want Raistlin to win.
StarFyre 08-24-07, 08:27 AM	If I ever use a time dragon or convert one to 4E, I will make it a chronomancer as well and give it Time Duplicate and a few other Chronomantic spells D Other than that..it's a great dragon..i love it. I want to sculpt and paint one now :) Sanjay
Tequila_Sunrise 08-24-07, 01:23 PM	I second the Raistlin vote. A true character with depth always wins against a two dimensional icon. Is it just me or is Chronepsis the perfect patron for the time dragons?
Taeldrin Laesrash 08-24-07, 01:24 PM	Totally. The article doesn't mention him?
Tequila_Sunrise 08-24-07, 06:42 PM	Nope, the article's flavor text is very lackluster. It doesn't make any mention of typical time dragon motivations or associates. In fact, they have no society and apparently go out of their way to avoid contact with mortals and immortals alike :rolleyes:. Great adventure material, there.
HeraldofDoomsday 08-28-07, 07:38 AM	I don't think Time Dragons have a patron deity. The article says that Time Dragons are powerful enough to directly compete with the draconic deities themselves, also under the society section, Time Dragons prefer to spend time with deities and other powerful immortals. I would assume that other deities look upon the Time Dragons as equals, and hence it is unlikely they will patronize any deity (except perhaps Io as the progenitor of all dragonkind)

I would assume that other deities look upon the Time Dragons as equals, and hence it is unlikely they will patronize any deity (except perhaps Io as the progenitor of all dragonkind) The article was no doubt written with the assumption of the rules from Deities and Demigods. With such as the case, a single time dragon really would be Io's patron. I myself write under the assumption that any non-unique creature, no matter how high in CR, is just a drop in the ocean of even a demideity's power.
messy 09-01-07, 01:28 AM	... a reworking of Lascer - though he is WAY less powerful than the original. i'm happy about this, as it makes him a realistic threat for the PCs. who in their adventuring career can ever hope of facing a CR 58 (or whatever it was) creature?? messy :cool:
Gemcaster 09-01-07, 06:54 AM	what was the cr 58 version of lascer in?
Taeldrin Laesrash 09-01-07, 10:06 AM	Dragon #297. He was a Paragon Infernal with a bunch of assassin levels.
messy 09-01-07, 11:02 AM	Dragon #297. He was a Paragon Infernal with a bunch of assassin levels. yeah, and he had over 2000 hit points, IIRC. crazy :D messy
