Making a dragon hunter...need help


Advice


What would be the best build/technique for killing dragons? I want to make a character that all the dragons of the land will quiver before.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If it is evil dragons then a paladin with the Oath against the Wyrm would be the obvious choice. If you are going against all dragons then maybe a ranger with maxed out favored enemy of dragons would work.

In either case a high STR and power attack using a two handed weapon. Probably the falchion for the critical hits. The Paladin would use bless weapon for the auto confirm on the critical. The Ranger would use lead blades to up the damage.


I would say ranger archer or paladin archer.


Gunslinger or alchemist. Dragons have terrible touch AC.


I wasn't sure if something like a paladin, inquisitor, or ranger was best. Or like a full Spellcaster. Sounds like probably a ranger though eh? I'm wanting to slay all dragons. Regardless of alignment.


Sorry Ben you replied as I wastyping the last comment. I didn't ignore you.


An archer paladin would ruin an evil Dragon's day.


But what about against good ones :(

The archer ranger is the best bet. highg damage, highg rexlex save + evasion, fly would not make any good to the dragon, spells and important skills.


Big Game Hunter. You shoot at touch ac, have favored enemy, and then make your gun a bane(dragon) weapon. Think that covers dragon slayer.

Also, gravity bow.

Don't you mean Trophy Hunter?


Cool, thanks guys!


Oh. What tactics should I use if I get in close quarters like their lair, where I can't use my bows range to advantage?


My dragon hunter is an archer ranger with a hippogriff mount/companion. There may be better options, but if so they can't be much better. Favored enemy plus very useful spells is hard to beat.

If you can't use your bow at range to your advantage, then run away, regroup and find a way to use the bow. :)

Ranger with favored enemy (dragon)


Somebody with a hafling sidekick to use as bait, I mean draw the Dragon out in the open.


level 20 ninja would do the trick.

but my choice would go to ranger. they would have the best static modifiers to damage, attack and areimo better at killing dragons then paladins.
