But they look less distinguishable, on account of being neotic.Consider the Black Dragon: When he becomes old, long exposure to his own internal corrosives eats away at the less resilient portions of his body - leaving him a skeletal appearance. That's why the Black Dragon is sometimes called the "Skull Dragon". Early in life, though, he's just a dark scaled creature. He could pass for a baby shadow dragon or mountain dragon or even a blue dragon who happens to have an underdeveloped nasal horn.The powers are nearly identical in the baby and the adult. They just get bigger - and the distinguishing features become more pronounced.Setting DCs to identify creatures up when the hit dice go up is completely backwards.----And that holds for all the other creatures, too. Quick show of hands: who here knows what Balors do? And again: but for Hezrou?The bigger creatures are more important. As things become more important, less study in that field is needed to come across information about it.Consider your own personal "Knowledge: History" as relates to the Nazis. How many of you know who Hitler was? How many of you know who Albert Speer was?And so on. Adding the hit dice to the DC to identify a creature is completely and totally backwards.-Frank</blockquote>
