Can owls not smell? Christ, getting their smell back from the bear part is almost kind of unfair on everyone else

If I had to choose to fight a bear or an Owlbear though I'd probably pick the Owlbear because I'm gonna die either way, so getting killed by a mythical creature is cooler than just a standard bear
Tbf, if it had wings, it'd just be a slaughter, not a battle

Nope, no smell.

legendary creature death does rank higher on the kickass factor

Agreed. Flying owl bear is no fair

To be fair, a dragon in and of itself, is already terrifying.

You don't **** with a dragon in D&D, especially not when it's outside. That's just asking for a Total Party Kill.

If your party takes on a dragon outside and you win, then your DM went way too easy on you

It would be more comfortable riding on the back of that dragonbear than a dragon.

Remember that shadow dragon in Baldurs Gate 2?

You don't get arrows or reflection spells?

Sure, but unless you're seriously high levelled, you're going to get smashed. Most of the party will usually be close-combat, so a couple of spells and a guy with a bow won't do shit against a massive dragon raining fire across a 60ft spread once per turn.

Does this dragon have a certain stat profile? Do your characters? Is there a limit to how many ranged characters you can bring? I know that's a lot of questions, but now I am genuinely interested in how this works.

Damn, if you enjoy D&D you would indeed love the BG series. What about Pillars of Eternity, did you ever play that?

Depends on the dragon and the team, if it were a team that were built especially to take down dragons (say, a team of magic users and bowmen at level 15 or so) then they'd have a good shot, but even then maybe not all of them would survive. Dragons are super intelligent and can outwit most player teams because they have thousands of years of experience on them. Usually to beat a dragon you'd have to corner it, and even then it'll be a fierce fight. Dragons' stats are generally ridiculously high, even for their respective levels.
