[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 4548587, member: 8461"] Because, as we all know, creatures of the same size category should all roughly have the same level of combat ability, despite their Hit Dice, creature type, and stats. See above. This seems to be the cause of all the contention here. And to think, the cat has only 1/2 of a d8, whereas the black wyrmling has 4d12! Don't even get me started on that Con modifier...man this is just so [i][b]whacked![/b][/i] Because, again, creatures of the same size should all have the same strength. After all, it's like that for humans, right? Heck with that, I can't believe that the dragon can fly and swim at all! The cat can't do that, so the fact that a dragon wyrmling can is clear and undeniable evidence that dragons are overpowered! We need more flying cats! And that extra 0.5 points of damage is going to seriously @#$% you up!!! I agree with this; after all, who wouldn't go nuts over how [u]supernatural abilities[/u] don't make physical sense in terms of real-world science. This, right here, is all the proof anyone should need that 3.5 needed to get kicked to the curb - so we could get rid of it's wonky gamist tropes and institute the realistic, measured sanity that is 4E! Because it's not like, with its measly 4 Hit Dice, that wyrmling dragon couldn't just take Improved Initiative anyway. Stupid wyrmling. You tell 'em Curtis. You tell the world. [/QUOTE]
