[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 8869313, member: 86051"] I've been pondering elaborating on what "traps" the micemen would drive their victims into. Pits, dead-falls - that would add some spice to the encounter. Did... it... again... I tend to agree with AC being a "constant" rather than changing as per that of the parent dragon. The differences can be huge in 2E (somewhat less so in 5E, I've seen) and this thread has got me thinking about my 2E conversion and I've decided to go for a "stable" AC by having all dragon warriors have an AC as a 2E Very Young dragon, regardless of the age of the parent dragon. 1E didn't have a changing AC for dragons and 1E dragon ACs became those for 2E Very Young dragons (mostly). In fact, I suppose it could be argued that variable ACs per dragon type for dragon warriors [I][B]would[/B][/I] sort of deviate from the original. Using the AC of 2E Very Young dragons will still lead to dragon warriors from different parent dragons having their own AC, but that was also true for the original dragon warriors. I wouldn't know which 5E AC to choose, though. Then again, if you're wholly against [I][B]any[/B][/I] kind of variable AC, I suppose you could just give all them AC for (dragon?) scale mail and be done wit it. Wouldn't some sort of Multiattack be enough? [/QUOTE]
