This also recalls the senile dragon from the first Dragonlance book.

Nicely done.

This will come in handy in a campaign I am running. Thanks! I can’t wait to see the next debilitating conditions. You’ve already sparked me to come up with some of my own.

I captured a dragon only to find it has severe dementia and then as if to brag at my handiwork invited it to a white trash party tomorrow. i keep thinking i can defeat it, but eery time it takes enormous amounts of energy and resources. what next?

How wonderfully strange! I too have an afflicted dragon in my campaign. But her affliction came from Bahamut “putting to sleep” parts of her draconic nature.

I like Randy and Ivan’s ideas, and you can be sure they will find use in my campaign.

PS. Also looking forward to the remainder of the article! It had never occurred to me that my dragon might be cured, but this could be a good adventure hook for the PCs.

This article interestingly parallels a red dragon that has recently appeared in my campaign as the leader of a thieves guild in my world’s main city. A bygone battle with a pod of aboleths left him crippled and wingless. Most significantly, blasts of frigid magic permanently scarred his brimstone-laced lungs and left him curiously asthmatic. So while his mind is nimble, his malady confines him to the guild’s underground lair, where he wheezes, gasps, and before any exertion takes drags on the chimney of a massive furnace that his lackeys constantly stoke.

Coming next week, I do believe!

I like Randy’s work, it’s a sort of specialized topic, but he keeps it lively.
