[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8335973, member: 87792"] The thing is that the legendary editions for 5e dragons are almost all the same (3 actions, spend 1 for a perception check, spend 1 for a tail attack, spend 2 for an AoE wing buffet). Even the MM young black dragon you posted (cut for length) rather than the MV one I did has an acidic bite attack with ongoing acid, bloodied breath, a distinctive tail attack, and a cloud of darkness. Oh and frightful presence. You will also note that the 5e young black dragon does not have any sort of legendary actions or recoveries. Or even any sort of tail attack; without its lair actions (which I will note aren't a part of the statblock and find this a problem) . The lair actions for the 5e MM black dragon plus the legendaries of the adult black between them I'd say put it about up to the MM1 young black with its better bite, tail slash, bloodied breath, and cloud of darkness. Also 5e is also about seven years old. It's a bit late in its lifespan to appeal for time. [/QUOTE]
