Kind of a letdown they couldn't even edit and update it.:(

11-27-03, 04:41 AM This doesn't bother me too much since it's such an easy fix. What I don't like is that they didn't include LAs for each age category.

11-27-03, 04:43 PM Yes! That was a big letdown. I have a hard time seeing a big dragon campaign not going epic. And I have a hard time seeing an epic game not involving big dragons at some point.

there are epic feats described earlier in the chapter (Dire charge [epic] pg 68 - as one example)

so whats the problem???

12-01-03, 11:12 AM The problem is that the level adjustments stop at ECL +20. Which means that to play an Epic dragon you either have to only choose class levels or you have to extrapolate what the LA would be. And whenever you extrapolate, then you have people deciding things differently and you get a little chaos.
