However, comparing them to giant owls and skeletons in this respect isn't really fair unless you'd make them Monstrosities - oh, wait.If pressed, I'd be in favor of sticking to WD21 as close as possible, so that each DW would have the AC of its dragon type parent - i.e., one AC per DW as opposed to increasing as per 2E. Technically speaking, that would mean that the white DW would have the 5E AC of the (preferred age) white dragon. If this would lead to 5E DWs having weird ACs compared to their 1E equivalents I'd say so be it. It's 5E after all.However, I guess I don't really mind going with your suggestion for the close-to-the-1E-progression as above. An explanation could be that the fangs are ancient items so perhaps dragons were different at that time. Also fits in nicely with the DWs being "Greek warriors from Jason's day"Hmm... WD21 says nothing about DWs adding any kind of "dragon-based" damage with their weapons. They just have weapons imo. However, I can see how adding dragon damage to their attacks would fit in nicely with Monstrosity.I was gonna ask why but then I read "distinctive". I guess there's nothing against this except more work?That is an interesting find. I'm gonna have to check some tables and (I think) Dragon #146 to see if I can find where this comes from.Thought: Maybe someone decided copper was a "softer" metal than brass?Heh. This is true for most 1E>2E dragons. I've always found the most interesting exception to this to be the purple (energy) color wheel dragon (Dragon #65) having 13 HD in the official revision (Dragon #248). I guess the red dragon voted against the upstart being more powerful!</blockquote>
