Talk:Black dragon

What is the hunting range of the black dragon? Like 2 square miles? 10 square miles? I'm wondering about the density in a "population" of dragons in an area, how many you could expect to find in the landscape... etc.
 * I don't believe a standard hunting range exists. As intelligent and malevolent creatures with at least minimal social behavior, territory would likely vary greatly from dragon to dragon. Some factors that would probably play a role are age, ability, hoard size and/or power, and social status (whether the dragon has a mate or not, offspring, etc.), and probably many more that I can't even imagine this late at night.


 * For game purposes, I would say the population in a given area is dense enough to provide the challenge you wish to present to your players; if you want them to fight two black dragons, then two live in a given area. If you want them to encounter more or less, then that's how many live in the area. The rules are guidelines to the game; add or subtract as necessary for personal flavor. -- Heaven&#39;s Agent 07:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Very good advise! :) Zerak talk 16:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
