Serini's paranoia about the paladins is really starting to screw the team over.

Predictably so.

[Solauren]

Don't you love/hate it when your opponents addressed their glaring weakness?

Then again, that's what sonic and force spells are for....

Ooooo... That's gotta hurt.
Nice touch with the back claws too

[Bedlam]

I don't think throwing a T-rex at a dragon is every going to not be cool

[Rogue 9]

Finally, the long awaited return of Spoiler

Bloodfeast the Extremeinator

Considering how much Bloodfeast has to weigh (2 - 3 tonnes, he's definately upper end for a Allosaurus or the related species), I'm willing to bet the dragon gets pulled out of the air.
Not to mention all it's teeth are serrated. Meaning when Bloodfeast pull back with his bite, he's going to rip part of the dragon's throat out.

Oh, I hope

And it does answer the question on if a Dinosaur can overcome a Dragon's natural magic defense (or did they make it so you don't need +1-or-better-weapons to pierce dragon hide?)

Wouldn't really matter given how 3.5 DR works since under the circumstances he's probably critting or otherwise doing with damage to punch through it.

Fun fact. I haven't double checked this myself, but someone on another forum looked it up and according to the official 3rd edition stats while T-Rexs don't have a rake attack, Allosauruses like Bloodfeast do.

Also note that Bloodfeast isn't just any Allosaurus. He's a Blood Empire War Allosaurus. So he could easily be an advanced version or have some sort of War Mount template.

[LaCroix]

Also - a null magic field would also certainly interrupt those magical defenses, right? So.. Moot point?

[Ralin]

No, I think it would just stop a weapon from bypassing DR/Magic

EDIT

Damage Reduction is not mentioned as being a supernatural or spell-like ability.

[Solauren]

natural Damage reduction is not affected by anti-magic.

Never considered that BLoodfeast might have a template or too on him too boot.
Then again, the only 'breed for war' style template, Warbeast, from MM2 (3.X) isn't very impressive. Quite frankly, advancing them by HD is more effective.

Hopefully BLoodfest isn't a really a Battletitan (MM3, 3.5, and I think meant for Eberron) that just wasn't armored up yet. If he is, then that poor dragon is going to get it's ass completely kicked.

[Ralin]

Would be pretty funny if the custom Blood Empire War Mount template gave fire resistance and a bunch of other anti-red dragon qualities to discourage the empress from snacking on them.

Once again, I adore how both artist and fans look for little facts like that, to allow Bloodfeast to rake the stomach like that.

I'd not thought about War Mount, it's been so long since we'd seen him as anything but Tiny Lizard.

And/Or if they had red dragon ancestory in them to make them tougher.

And they fight and they fight and they fight...

Not for much longer at this rate.

The dragon is about to lose a claw. It's in the Allosaurus's mouth.

I think he's trying to pry the mouth away from his neck.

Not sure what spell the Cleric is using but Sonny is back to normal again. Keep that eye on the nasty dragon, Sonny!

Blast it with all your other eyes, Sunny!

Protection from evil in order to suppress the domination effect, per their plan on the previous page.

Blast it with all your other eyes, Sunny!

If Sunny does that she'll have to turn off the antimagic ray first, and if that happens, Bloodfeast goes back to being a lizard and the fire breath is back in play.

That's not a problem? Close the central eye (standard action), then hammer it with all the eye rays (free action). Next round, open the central eye again if needed.

What, you've never had a Beholder cover you with it's antimagic ray to screw with your spell effects, then turn it off and open fire with it's eye rays, then turn the anti-magic back on, rinse and repeat?

Sure, Charm Person is not going to bother the Dragon, and probably not Fear, but Disintegrate, Finger of Death, Flesh to Stone, and Slow are all potentially useful against it.

And if the flesh to stone works, keep the central eye closed, and reuse disintegrate. Statues have horrible saves after all....

True.... but Sunny might hit Bloodfeast

Anti-Magic Eye turns Bloodfeast back to little lizard
Open fire on the big ass dragon
Close anti-magic eye, and Bloodfeast goes Allosaurus again on the now more hurt dragon.
