Being killed by arrows is hardly an exact science, Argitoth. Speaking from experience, things that, according to modern science, SHOULD kill somebody, has a disturbing tendency NOT to kill them. In the field, you learn to kill people until they die from it, not when the experts SAY they should be dead.

Besides, where exactly did you find the evidence where they scientifically proved this, anyway? I don't recall any bird-man studies where they gathered large numbers of bird-men and proceeded to arrow them in flight to see if they crashed. Actually, I don't recall ever hearing of large numbers of bird-men at all. Besides, Caelians are already a weak and easily killed species as it is.

I'll admit...I laughed pretty hard at this.

I thought it was obvious that when I said "take down" i literally meant "take down" meaning I would be able to disable their flying ability.

Dragons do not fly with magic. Their wings are massive enough to make them fly.

First off, this thread is not really the right place for this...

Second, that is SO wrong! Dragons are full of hot air, and rise.

No, seriously, Dragons cannot fly without magic. It is well established that dragons with wings can fly no matter how tiny their wings are, just as winged angels can fly without any musculature for flapping. It's really a surface area to volume problem... start with a dragonfly, expand it from 10cm to 10m in length, and you'll find that its mass increases by 1,000,000x and wing area / muscle cross section only by 10,000x.

If you want you can assume a spherical dragon, just for fun, although that doesn't affect the problem

what ever, it's all about opinions since we all have our own ideas on fantasy, oh and BTW.

I DEEETESSSTTT!!! dragons with small wings. I hate them as much as people thinking elves are little midgets for Santa... How... how stupid.

Ah, but what about fire-breathing, flying, jet-propelled dragons based on ruminant digestion and multi-chambered stomachs?

I have noticed exactly the same thing, but forgot to mention it.

Flavoring issue re: Pathos, Son of Titans.
Is he a son of a Titan, or is he a son of a god (as the description states at one point)?

[Kristoffer O]

I didn't know there was a difference

As KO points out, there is no difference. IIRC, the Titans of Greek myth were the banished/defeated parents of the regular pantheon, and thus the "elder" gods.
