Useful Info

Fire drakes are one of the lesser kinds of dragon, but they're still one of the more dangerous creatures one can encounter in the Lair since they are fast and have a fiery breath attack that does 3d12 fire damage.

Tips & Tricks

  • The Lair is an excellent branch to create a stash in, so hopefully you won't have any terribly valuable scrolls on you when you encounter one. If you do, consider dropping them before engaging.
  • If you have a source of fire resistance available, use it. At low levels, that breath can deal a serious amount of damage.
  • Unlike some other creatures with breath weapons, fire drakes don't have to catch their breaths between blasts of fire. Don't be surprised if a fire drake decides to spam its fire breath at you.
