A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the red dragon warrior hits with it (included in the attack). Longsword (Chromatic Red Dragon Warrior). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage, or 15 (2d10 + 4) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage if used with two hands.Another quirk is I had to give the Silver Dragon Warrior lower Hit Points than the Bronze to avoid nudging into Challenge 5.I'm wondering about making the Silver Challenge 5 by increasing its Hit Points to 10d8+30 and increasing the Gold Dragon Warrior to Challenge 6 (2,300 XP)? We could do that by increasing its Hit Points to 90 (12d8 + 36) and boosting its damage a bit. Maybe:Draconscale Weapon Master (Gold Dragon Warrior Only). A dragonscale weapon deals 3 (1d6) extra damage when the dragon warrior hits with it (included in the attack). Longsword (Metallic Gold Dragon Warrior). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 1d6 + 4) slashing damage, or 13 (1d10 + 1d6 + 4) slashing damage if used with two hands.Come to think of it, that's a better solution than Brute or a Greatsword for the Red Dragon Warrior and could be repurposed for other Dragon Warriors by modifying the size of the "mastery dice".Draconscale Weapon Master (Gold or Red Dragon Warriors Only). A dragonscale weapon deals 3 (1d6) extra damage when the dragon warrior hits with it (included in the attack). Longsword (Chromatic Red Dragon Warrior). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 1d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 5 (2d4) fire damage, or 13 (1d10 + 1d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 5 (2d4) fire damage if used with two hands.Updating the <a href="https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8870174" target="_blank">Dragon Warriors Table</a>.I also tweaked the Red DW up so its numbers matched the Silver DW as Reds and Silvers have nigh-identical stats in AD&D.I'm considering whether to boost the Blue up to 10d8+30 to match the Bronze, of maybe making the Red CR 6 and the Blue CR 5 so it parallels the Gold and Silver like it does in 5E rather than ranking a bit lower like AD&D were roughly Red = Silver and Blue = Bronze or Copper.Anyhow, it's way past my bedtime so I'm calling it a night.It's a night!</blockquote>
