The new ancient green dragon from the 2025 Monster Manual was previewed at Gen Con.
I wonder if it had the same info on wyrmlings and young greens on the previous page?also interesting that there is specific fluff about adult and ancient greens, I don't think they had separate age category info in the MM
Probably. I am also wondering if lair actions are truly gone, but I am guessing they are, which is a shame.I wonder if it had the same info on wyrmlings and young greens on the previous page?
It does have a significant damage increase overall. Previously, the bite did 24. Rend deals 27, and can be done 6 times per round.Not exactly surprised: there are things I like and things I don't.
So this seems to confirm that Legendary Actions are gone, the may also gotten rid of Lair Actions, which would be a shame, as this stat block has modifiers for when it is in its lair. I don't like the lack of separate bite and claw attacks nor the lack of damage in the rend attack. I do like that this is clearly a "green dragon" stat block and not just a dragon stat block with poison breath.
I also thought breath weapon damage and HP would go down, but the kept it the same and upped respectively.
Rend should do more damage, but the reactions are interesting and the spellcasting is appreciated.
It also got a significant Charisma bump
They have +1 legendary resistance and reaction/turn if they are in their lair. A little generic, but cant say its not powerful.Probably. I am also wondering if lair actions are truly gone, but I am guessing they are, which is a shame.
