    You can then say against vampires or devils for example, that silver counts as rare or very rare weapons, or as one rarity higher. Other materials can have similar effect vs other types of monsters.

    For example devils. I would move the original DMG table (and thus all of your other tables as well) up one category for weapon resistances, i.e. x1.25 for CR6-10 and x1 multiplier for CR11-16 and so on. I really don't think magic weapon resistance is as relevant as the DMG wants it to be.

    Ah yes, I mixed it up. Sorry. But the question remains. I'm thinking about having fx devils have such resistances without being epic, so interested in your thoughts

    Forget trait. Action is right. You give the Ancient green the colossal trait. So it was not the number of squares, but the trait I meant. But like I said, no biggie

    It's just that magic weapon resistance is worth nothing above CR 6 or so. With your take it might actually be relevant (and thus affect hp calculations). I'm fine with it not affecting CR, only then at what CR is it appropriate to be resistant to uncommon/rare etc.? You use it for the dragons...

    How do you calculate CR adjustment for resistance to uncommon/rare/very rare weapons?

    Why not just an ability as a trait? I really like the green dragons! Only thing is, back in the day, only reds grew to colossal. To honor this, I feel like only the Wyrms of the other colors should get the colossal trait. No biggie, though.

    Blue is always in :) White would be just in time for Rime of the Frostmaiden.

    I would like that spell better ifyou rolled for the effect each round. As written, it can be a minor nuisance to totally crippling.

    Why not just desribe the effect as text? "..and the target can only take either an action, a move or a bonus action (if possible), The target also can't take reactions, but can still take free acctions." Something like that, just a bit more polished.

    When you tweak them: Wyrm still has recharge 5-6 (just if it's not intentional). You could roll Keen Senses and Perceptive into one trait. Gives one less trait to keep track of. I think the concept for Dragon Scales and be transferred to the Tarrasque and other high CR critters that might have...

    Another option is to ignore damage from creatures of less than CR 1 or so. Now only the elite archers can hope to hurt the dragon. Though I do like the damage threshold combined with magic weapon resistance. It might be the firt time I've actually seen weapon resistance being able to make a...

    Do you think a fighter fighting that CR only has +8 damage bonus?

    Threshold for Dragon Scales is identical for Ancient and Wyrm. Intentional?

    Man, I like that Tiamat draft! I especially like she's a f***ing powerful dragon more than a goddess. You call the mythic trait different things (I think it should be Chromatic Glory). Shouldn't the XP be five times CR30, when she can use the mythic trait 5 times (or is the usage number wrong?)?
