5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition

Okay, if the save-or-half does count as 150% damage then the Challenge Ratings are a bit different than 1/2/3 if I use the First Arrangement of Breath Weapon damages:

Dragonflies Combat Table
Type​
Defensive/Offensive CRs​
Bite​
Breath Weapon​
DCR 1/2; OCR 3 (DPR 16¼ of 15–26)​
+5, 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing
6 (1d12) acid, DEX save DC 13 for ½
Blue
DCR 2; OCR 3 (DPR 18½ of 15–26)​
+5, 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing
8 (1d6 + 1d8) lightning, DEX save DC 13 for ½
Gold
DCR 3; OCR 3 (DPR 23¼ of 15–20)​
+6, 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing
10 (3d6) fire or poison, DEX save DC 14 for ½
DCR 1; OCR 3 (DPR 17 of 15–26)​
+5, 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing
7 (2d6) poison, DEX save DC 13 for ½
Red
DCR 2; OCR 3 (DPR 21 of 15–20)​
+6, 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing
9 (2d8) fire, DEX save DC 14 for ½
DCR 1/4; OCR 2 (DPR 14¾ of 9–14)​
+5, 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing
5 (1d10) cold, DEX save DC 13 for ½

So we'd be talking:

Gold Dragonfly CR 4
Red Dragonfly CR 3
Blue Dragonfly CR 3
Green Dragonfly CR 2
Black Dragonfly CR 2
White Dragonfly CR 1

If we instead have it possess a "all or nothing" breath weapon that does no damage on a miss, the Challenge Ratings go back to their original values:

Gold Dragonfly DPR 18, CR 3
Red Dragonfly DPR 16½, CR 3
Blue Dragonfly DPR 14½, CR 2
Green Dragonfly DPR 13½, CR 2
Black Dragonfly DPR 13, CR 1
White Dragonfly DPR 12, CR 1

Hardly surprising, since that was the assumption I used with the CR Calculator.
