[QUOTE="Cheesegreetings, post: 6230472, member: 49257"] Hello everybody, I've lurked and watched this forum and the conversions going on for a while now, but this is the first time I've had a question to ask. (There doesn't seem to be an introductions subforum, so Hello! I hope I'm in the right subforum.) I've been following the Converting True Dragons thread and I keep a list of all the types of dragons with their sources and how they're related. I'm asking for help (kind of like those All the Different Types of Elves/Dwarves/Halflings threads) with some dragons that share the same names. So far the dragons I'm still not clear on are these -- I'm trying to find out how many separate kinds there are and how they differ: [B]Aquatic Dragon[/B] -- [I]Dragon#134[/I] -- lawful evil, wingless, electrocuting cloud breath weapon [B]Aquatic Dragon[/B] -- [I]Bestiary of Krynn[/I] -- a giant seahorse? [B]Aquatic Dragon II[/B] -- [I]Dangerous Denizens[/I] -- ?? [B]Brown/Great Desert Dragon[/B] -- [I]Old Empires, 2E Monstrous Manual, Monsters of Faerûn[/I] -- Mulhorandi burrowing, flightless, acid-breathing dragon, neutral evil [B]Brown/Amber Dragon[/B] -- BECMI Master Set -- Mystaran chaotic "gemstone" counterpart to Gold Dragons, flesh-rotting breath weapon [B]Brown/Amber/Tiger's Eye Dragon[/B] -- [I]Rules Cyclopedia[/I] -- ?? [B]Brown/Amber Dragon/Draco auburnis forestus[/B] -- [I]Monstrous Compendium Annual 3[/I] (as amber), [I]Dragon#38[/I] (as brown) -- Are these two different dragons, or the same dragon? [B]Grey Dragon[/B] -- [I]Dragon#62[/I] -- ?? [B]Gray Dragon[/B] -- [I]Dragon#146[/I] -- a template? [B]Jade Dragon (Neutral)[/B] -- Monstrous Compendium Annual 1 -- true neutral, like a cross between an Emerald Dragon and a Lung [B]Jade Dragon[/B] -- [I]BECMI Master Set, Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix[/I] -- Mystaran neutral (good) "gemstone" counterpart to Green Dragons, poison gas/rotting disease breath weapon [B]Jade Dragon[/B] -- [I]Rules Cyclopedia[/I] -- ?? [B]Sand Dragon[/B] -- [I]Dragon#134[/I] -- ?? [B]Sand Dragon[/B] -- [I]Sandstorm[/I] (as sand), [I]4E Draconomicon[/I] (as brown) -- ?? Also, The above MCA3 Amber Dragon and the #038 Auburn/Brown dragon have separate conversions in the Creature Catalogue, although they appear to be almost identical. Their breath weapons and SLAs are just slightly different. [/QUOTE]
