As requested by Krishnath....dragon's SR

[Grazzt]

I reverse engineered all the dragon's in the MM and know how WotC did their conversions from 2e.


Here is the basic formula for any given dragon's SR:


SR is (almost) always 10 + age category + Con bonus.

There are a few exceptions, but that is the general formula followed in the MM.

Friggin tease us why don't ya.

I can't give away all of my trade secrets now can I?

 

[Krishnath]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

There's a couple of new dragons coming this way during the next couple of weeks.

did I mention, THANK YOU!

For the FR dragons, it's CR + 10 (or CR + 11, I don't remember).

 

[MythandLore]

For the FR dragons, it's CR + 10 (or CR + 11, I don't remember).

-Bows down to the master of the dragon gen!-

 

[Krishnath]

We're not worthy!!! We're not worthy!!!

 

[CRGreathouse]

For the FR dragons, SR = 10 + CR, except for Old, Very Old, and Ancient song dragons, who have SR 11 + CR. Go figure.

It's interesting that there's no single formula. I'd love to put one into the generator (so it's modified whn stats are), but that's not possible with differing standards.

 

[CRGreathouse]

On average, the Con formula is within 1 point of the actual SR for MM dragons (total points off: 76) and within 3 points for FR dragons (total points off: 115). Will someone just make Skip Williams talk? They had to have some kind of formula to come up with number that convoluted, didn't they?

 

[Grazzt]

WotC won't talk- I already tried. It is an "in-house" policy that they used...blah blah blah.

But- for the most part, reverse engineering them is easy and the formula used to convert them from 2e to 3e is fairly straightforward.
