Actually, it is still completely on topic. The original topic was 'uncontrolable forces in the game world which may pose incredible danger to players' and then the question that spawned was, 'how to keep that in check?' Here's where (as usual) realism comes in handy. If you have dragons be these intensely powerful creatures that are magically sustained and incredibly evil, to the point that they spend 100% of their time cruising around toasting anything that moves, your game probably won't play very well. The simplest way to reduce the destructive power of a dragon, of course, is to assume that it only hunts when it is hungry. The discusion of animal size came up when deciding whether or not a dragon would actually go after humanoids (which usually include most players) first, or if there is something else they'd prefer to snack on. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="01502" HREF="msg01502.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Alright...
