Not quite what happened in the story ("Hiram and Richard"), but close. Gold dragons are among the nicest of their breed, usually quite unwilling to hurt nice people...but push them hard enough and they are still dragons. They may not choose to find room for you in their stomach, but they can still take out their irritation on you in some other manner.

Of course if it were a red dragon, or most other dragons besides a Bronze, Silver or Gold, the knight would be with his horse right now. 83

And part of the punishment is that there isn't a town in sight~ Knight's armour isn't exactly light, even chainmail.

My Half-Dragon D&D character's father was a Gold Dragon.

Did he assume human form or did Mom drink a Potion of Elasticity the night he was conceived? 83

He took human form, seduced her mom, were together for the first 10 years of her life, then he disappeared.

I've always wonder how that works. Does the human form dragon still spooge dragon goo? Considering that in every other way they appear human i've always though that unlikely. On the other hand, the expression on the dad's face when the kid is born and everyone realizes what is going on woukd be worth it. 83

Considering that my character was obviously draconic in appearance, I'd say yes they do. My understanding was that Transformation Magicks don't change the DNA of the creature unless it's a one-way TF, like a curse.

I love your D&D background <333 And he better be damned glad golds (amongst the others you mentioned too) do not like to kill sentient beings, IF they can help it.

Btw, that is one awfully small gold. He could take it *cackles*

Golds start out at size Medium at Wyrmling and don't go to Huge until young adult. The premise of this pic and the accompanying is the dragon is about 40-50 years old, right at the breakpoint between Large and Huge and still young enough to eat a knight's horse if sufficiently annoyed. 83

Okay, and here I thought my obsessing over the details of my dragons size at such and such age or color was hehehe. Nice info and i'm glad someone besides from me cares ^^

The important thing was the size of the dragon, since I wanted the meal to be laborious and the bulge huge. The age category of the dragon was reverse engineered from this necessary size. Sadly gold dragons aren't as Eastern/snakey looking as they were in earlier editions, so it's not quite as serpentine as the story implies. 83

I'm from 1st and 2nd edition, so I prefer those Chinese style dragons. They come across as wise a whole lot better than western style ones can >_>
