That's a good write-up for the breath weapon, freyar. Since this isn't ordinary ice, it's reasonable for it to have higher hardness than water ice. Getting a bit ahead, what should we do about tail attacks? The 20-ft. restriction can either mean this dragon's reach with it's tail is smaller...

This is a very powerful dragon. The first breath weapon sounds like half-cold and half-acid damage to me; the second sounds like an entangling effect. Wasn't there a conversion of the amber dragon that had a similar effect with its breath weapon? We can use either the gold or red dragon stats...

Here's some local folklore about the tikbalang. The presence of the creature is indicated by an unusual bird call. If the bird call sounds close, the tikbalang is far, and if it sounds distant, the tikbalang is near. People who are unaware of this assume the sound to be that of the tikbalang...

I like Earth Mettle. Save bonus for cold more for me.

Should it be able to summon a tougher elemental as it ages, like the brown dragon, and how a concordant dragon can summon a tougher rilmani as it ages? Sounds good. Appraise because it ought to be an expert with gems, Hide and Survival because it is a loner and apathetic.

Ok, I looked at the OA fey, and all three of them have higher HD than their CR: bajang 6d6 CR 5, bisan 10d6 CR 5, and the three nats 2d6 CR 1, 4d6 CR 3, 8d6 CR 4.

I'll take a look at the Oriental Adventures fey to compare. In the meantime… did you know that in our folklore, to placate capricious Filipino fey who try to disorient you in a forest, one way is to turn your shirt inside-out? It prevents them from teleporting you to a random location in the...

I agree with freyar on being dazzled in sunlight/daylight. As for the talisman, a rough analogy is with the water bowl of the kappa (Oriental Adventures). From what I remember, an opponent that wins a grapple check can cause the water on the bowl on top of the kappa's head to spill, causing it...

I'd go this way as well. For comparison purposes, a mountain landwyrm has a +4 racial bonus to Hide checks in mountainous terrain (+8 when immobile). What about the mountain wurm? Does it have a similar bonus that goes up with age? This sounds good. I'm fine with the fire/acid vulnerability...

Since it's solid rock, I don't think the tunnel would collapse. One of the Dragonlance novels has the dwarves using enormous domesticated worms burrowing through solid rock, and these tunnels definitely last. Tunneling (Ex): A stone dragon can burrow through solid stone at a speed of 5 feet...

All hail the monster junkie—Happy Birthday Shade! :D :cool:

Maligayang Bati (go figure what language that is ;) ), o Great Wizard o BOZ!

Hey, it's one of ours! Edit: I'd call it a Large fey, with the kapre having the shapechanger subtype as well. The kapre is often depicted smoking a wad of rolled tobacco. You can read more about the kapre at Wikipedia, which is quite accurate.

Here's the li lung's tunneling ability. I think the stone dragon can be given the same speed. Tunneling (Ex): Li lungs can burrow through solid stone at a speed of 5 feet.

Come to think of it, those rocks may not have to be a breath weapon per se. Not all oral ejecta is a breath weapon; think of poison or acid spit or the aforementioned explosive gem of the amethyst dragon. Obviously it has a burrow speed, but it can also burrow through solid rock like the li...

Quick impression: It looks like it should have the earth subtype. Damage reduction should be overcome by weapons that are both magical and bludgeoning. Save penalties against fire and acid attacks, save bonuses against cold attacks. Half-damage on failing saving throws, against effects with the...

Now I can understand why collectors want a jade dragon's hide, if it smells that yummy. :p BTW Shade, since I'm putting all the dragons' stats into a spreadsheet, what adjustment did you do for the weaker Frightful Presence DC of the neutral dragons? Did you include a fixed penalty to the 10 +...

Congrats freyar. Where do the entries show up?

Comparing the jade dragon to the emerald dragon… CR: same. Ability scores: same except for Int, resulting in +1 to its modifier. Slight edge. Saves: same. BAB/Attack bonus: slightly lower progression for grapple and attack because of the jade's smaller size at wyrmling. Breath weapon: the...

The 2e text says they can cast priest spells, so I suppose they ought to cast clerical and clerical domain spells in 3.5e too. Since they love forests and collect plants (and woodcraft I presume), I suggest Plant as one domain. They're also very reclusive, so either Protection or Trickery (more...
