Can dragons use weapons?
« on: June 28, 2014, 12:31:56 PM »
Can dragons use weapons?  I'm not talking about items that enhance their natural attacks, I'm talking about grasping a sword in their claws and going to town.

Or to put it another way, can they use a manufactured weapon to get iterative attacks, then add their natural attacks on top of it (except for the claw holding the weapon)

No.  But ...

Proficient with its natural weapons only unless humanoid in form (or capable of assuming humanoid form), in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.

And the Wyrm Of War thingy gives something in that last Dragons Of X book ... (wtf , title)

presume Dragonborns and Half-Dragons can

they can use them, unless they don't have the appropriate 'limbs'

ex. Medusa's snake chains
