[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 3168120, member: 1264"] A couple problems I see, for a dragon-hunting dragon: 1) If they only have DR X/bludgeoning, that means their own natural weapons do NOT count as magic! That'll make it very hard for them to get through the real dragon's DR X/magic... 2) A bludgeoning/piercing/slashing breath weapon is not an energy weapon, and therefore susceptible to its opponents DR as well! Alternatively, how about making it a Force breath weapon? 3) +4Dex only gives a +2 Ref - not nearly enough to avoid other dragon's breath weapon. Adult Red: 12d10, DC26. Adult Glass: Ref +13... 4) their Will save vs Fear seems inadequate as well: Adult Red: Frightful Presence DC 24. Adult Glass: Will +11. They should probably be immune to other Dragons Frightful Presence. 5) Spell resistance is OK, but could be better. Adult Red: CL 7. Adult Glass: SR 18 -> 50% chance of success. 6) AC seems low as well. Adult Red: Attack +31. Adult Glass: AC 26! I would crank up their Dex to, say, 20 or more. That will give them a better chance to avoid breath weapons (Ref +18, if you add in Lightning Reflexes), and increase the AC (still useless against a Red, but and Adult White, for example, only has an attack of +23).
