Quote:Also interesting is that the black dragon duel weilds his claws, thus getting one extra attack(4, compared to the usual 3), but at a penaly to his thaco(still has a negative thaco though, due to the str bonus).
Oooh, cool :) It's been a while since I've been around a BG2 forum so getting the occasional tidbit filtered down for a classic IE game is very interesting. All this discussion about it makes me want to install it again.
I don't know how commonly known this one is, but... A very "different" way to kill Dragons is to Polymorph into a Mind Flayer and then start wailing away with your Int draining melee attack. In the Dragon's Int reaches zero, they die - just like with the PC/NPCs.
Probably not as effective as more conventional Dragon slaying tactics, but quite humorous none the less ;)

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
