Creating Rock Dragons.

Mostly true, but I believe the white breaks it in a few age categories, and a number of other non-core dragons start with different scores (such as the radiant).Krishnath said:

The Rocks will have the ability to Burrow right, with varying ability?
How about a Web or Grease spell-like effect for the secondary Slate breathweapon? Oil can come from slate (I think) so both fit. What about having a 'shot gun' breath weapon as its primary? On second thought, I'm thinking of shale, which splits rather easily thus my vision of several 'disks' punching holes in armor, shields, flesh, etc.
Rather sci-fi-ey but how about magnetism or a gravity breath weapon? Do some handwaving if you must but lots of metal objects have pointy ends and tend to be heavy. Also having one's weight (or things carried) suddenly increase puts a damper on any fliers and even lightly armored folks.
For the secondary Granite, have the rocks cling to the victim, in effect Web, tho it looks like Petrification (similar to what Mortis suggested). Also the biggest but not necessarily the most powerful.
Possible Pyrite - de-magicafies items like a nasty Dispel Magic or Mord's Disjunction. I see a small dragon with a big *ahem* chip on its shoulder thought to be easy XP to a magic laden party. Tide quickly changes in favor of the dragon.
Sulfur spits out fire that does Cold damage instead and strength drain. After all burning sulfur looks blue to purple. Ok, vague cold connection.
