+7 proficiency bonus... so... CR 21-24.

Not bad.

I wish I could help, but I liked that page a long time ago, and you can't double down.

Unless....

Unless I made an alt Facebook account!!

Interesting that it isn't immune to nonmagical weapons like the Sphinx. Nor do its attacks count as magical-
That makes the dragon a lot weaker than other legendary monsters with that property. Unless those are general dragon traits not displayed here.

(teeters hand) You have to consider that a Sphinx is tied to a specific location with a specific goal/point/purpose in mind. A Dragon doesn't have such a restriction. Perhaps it's a minor point, but I feel it's worth at least pointing out.

It probably helps that it has almost 3 times the hp of the sphinx. Unless it is a no magic items campaign, everyone will have magic weapons at that point.

Good catch.

Interesting that even an Adult dragon is already considered a Legendary encounter - makes it clear that they're never something to be messed with lightly.

I'm glad they retained the 4e-style recharge mechanics for breath weapons.

Having the Bite attack deal fire damage is a neat idea, and a nice alternative to Swallow attacks.
