[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 9553318, member: 326"] Apologies for originally missing this reply UngeheuerLich. What if we compare it to the Claws of a Medium Size Ghast which deal 2d6? Does the 200 foot long, 100 ton dragon with a massive claw far bigger than an entire ghast itself dealing only 2d8 seem appropriate if the ghast's claws deal 2d6? What if we stab it in the eye? Some people have early copies, presumably the Gold Dragon will be fully revealed soon enough - at least its got us all talking. :giggle: Okay, but it has multiple Legendary Resistance uses. Yes, its initiative is high, maybe they are thinking these gargantuan dragons are fast and wriggling like eels but flying through the sky. I suppose. The save DC is very tough to hit. But again, just to reiterate, least fun monster ability for PCs to face. I still think they give us a good guideline for whats to come. Maybe the WotC thinking is Legendary Actions should now outshine the regular Actions...? I'm not saying Controllers cannot be scary - indeed I think the Banishment IS a very scary attack. I just think everything else is lacklustre. It cannot drop the PC with even the lowest amount of HP if they fail the save. The likelihood is the other breath weapon is just the same as the 2014 breath weapon (except the two run on different recharges). [/QUOTE]
