And I quote the lore-pile-thing:

Quote
Dragons are still trying to find places to fit in. They don't like humans terribly much, what with dragonslaying and such in bygone ages, and they don't really fit in human cities anyways. (Not that they want to; they have the whole "we'll still be here when you are all gone" thing going on.) They're finding places to live in uncharted rainforests, polar regions, ice caps, and the like, but there's still a bit of tension, not helped by the occasional would-be dragonslayer or attack by a hot-headed wyrmling.

Only a few young dragons are dicks, most don't really give a shit, and a few try living in human cities.

The concern is not whether or not dragons are hostile, the concern is that even a young dragon has boss-level stats.

...

So, pray tell, why shouldn't a dragon have boss-level stats?

Player character dragons/ridden dragons are all just runts, is how it could be.

I mean really. Don't see the point of pretending to have variety if everything just gets nerfed into one flat equal line.

It was a joke. I don't exactly want a dragon with boss stats, so it'd be nerfed down to runt level.

Or get a Wyrven like most people. Maybe even one of the steampunk monster person ones. Because that would be awesome.

Wyvrens are dragons with 2 less legs, and a steampunk dragon person would be cool, although if I rode a monster person it would get awkward really fast. Which is funny as all fuck.

It's perfect right?

And like any real dragon would let a puny human ride it.

In a lot of interpretations, wyverns are dragons with 4 wings and 2 legs.

Still six-limbed and all.

I dunno why they thought 4 wings would be a good idea, though.

More wings means more redundancy. And it makes them almost as fast as a red one.

Well, the dragonknight does give decent buffs to his dragon, plus I think he has more health than any other PC at the moment.

Oh, speaking of which;

What are good buffs for having a high Magic, Skill, and/or Defense, Smurfington?

What do you mean by good buffs? Like buffs that would complement that statset, or good spells that statset could grant?
