[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 4548826, member: 8461"] No, I meant raising their size category...for younger dragons. From what I understand, your idea is that you want to take dragons of every age category and make them all plausible enemies in your E6/E8 game - hence, you're looking for a way to power them down at every age category so they're not overwhelming. I can understand that idea (particularly if you want wyrmlings to start at CR 1 and increase by 1 at each age category) but that seems like a lot of work for comparatively little reward. My suggestion would be to take just the first few age categories of a dragon and modify their stats. For example, get rid of a black dragon's last six age categories (everything after "adult"), increase each age category's size by two size categories each (decrease or ignore the ability score changes from this) and change the names for them all. Voila! Your "adult black dragon" is now a "great black wyrm"! [/QUOTE]
