From lair actions that disrupt the turn-based flow of combat to the conceptualization of dragons as a primordial race, we're examining the complexities and joys of bringing these formidable foes to your tabletop. Tune in for a masterclass in creating encounters that are as memorable as they are deadly, all while ensuring they're tailored to the tastes and engagement levels of your players.
