I was attacked by a goose and it ripped off and stole my shoe. Of course, I was smaller than the goose at the time...

What summons does dragon master actually work with? I'm assuming the drakes.. how about iron dragon?

Only with the 3 drakes and the wyvern. No iron draon, no tarrasque

i think the amphitere should at least be added. :/ winged snake, breathes poison.

Personally, I think the spell itself should be canned and replaced by a Pretender ability and maybe an artifact, but that's just me.

not a bad idea.

Mind you, drakes should be made better, or atleast more accessible, in some fashion. They're neat units! I'd just like to see the whole concept improved to the point where people don't feel the "solution" aka the spell "Dragon Mastery" is a rip-off (and it is).

Maybe we could have some (or more, if I've missed them) magic sites that allow the recruitment of drakes? Or mod command that allows one to create a mage that specializes in summoning a specific type of unit (like druids and vine-men/vine-ogres) and apply that to each type of drake. Or both, just because I like drakes. Such features/abilities would make a spell like "Dragon Mastery" excellent, if it stacked. Or add a drake version of the Vine-Ogre, where the spell would let you summon additional, more powerful versions of drakes? In the process, making it clear that drakes are *not* dragons-just, perhaps, related. It would save so much philosophical angst.

I still think the name is unfortunate, though, and the main problem, dragons being such major hitters in mythology. It's a bit like calling anyone who owns a fire-arm a Marine-it's not only inaccurate, it's emotionally dangerous in it's inaccuracy.

If we are adding dragons to the list, What about that the national summon from Arco. I dont remember its name. Its the 1 Nature and 1 Astral one and costs 10 pearls to summon. It does not fly and has a snake for a tail. You know the one?

Anyway in its flavor text it is "oldest of all dragons" or some such.

definitely. the sirrush.

also why is something with legs that big so slow?

The Sirrush ?

With DM, it would be underpriced imho.
