On subduing Dragons
in the dragon write up it states that dragons can be subdues because of their ego. In AD&D it mentions that Gold and Silver dragons can never be subdued. I have also read that given the chance a subdued dragon will always attempt to flee or kill it’s master whenever the opportunity presents itself. I have had a subdued Green dragon give a character a “Mark of the Dragon Bond” which meant absolutely nothing. It was just a deceptive excuse to claw the character across the face and give him a nasty scar. two adventures later it attacked the party while they were on their way home from a dungeon and heavily laden with treasure. The group finished the dragon, but it managed to kill the character who originally attempted to subdue it.
Mystara is more of a home to me than any real place I have ever lived. so you are about to begin your review of Gaz 1 now. I hope it’s good…
