Converting True Dragons

[Gothenem]

Looks great!

Breath Weapon (Su): A pink dragon has one breath weapon, a cone of pink bubbles composed of irritants. Any living creature with eyes caught in the cone, must make a Reflex save or be blinded and sickened for 4d4 rounds. Due to the nature of the bubbles, even those that make their saves still have their vision hampered by the bubbles. Unlike most breath weapons, the pink dragon's bubbles remain in the area for 2d6 rounds, hampering vision like heavy fog. Each round, anyone who enters, moves through, or remains in the bubbles must make a save or be affected as above. Pink dragons are immune to the effects of their own breath weapons, and those of other pink dragons. In addition, a pink dragon's vision is never hampered by the bubbles.

Lookin' good. I'd propose that we change the duration of the condition and the amount of times the bubbles linger to a progression by age category. Maybe a progression of 1d4 rounds per age category for the condition (to a max of 12d4 rounds at great wyrm) and linger for 1d6 rounds + one round per age category. What do you think?

 

[Gothenem]

1d4 rounds/age is good.

Maybe we can them linger for 1 round/age category, that way the max is the current max (12).

Perfect.

How about ability scores? They had the intelligence of a brass dragon, so we could follow its progression. Damage equals a black, so we could follow its Str progression (modified by size differences at given age categories). Nothing seems to indicate anything other than Dex 10. Since they love to talk and joke, Cha could be decent. Wis could probably just match Int. Thoughts?

 

[Gothenem]

Yeah, except for the Purple, the mental stats are all within 1 point of each other, so use the Brass Dragon's mental stats. Black Dragon Strength is cool, and Dex 10.

Constitution? Should we go with Black here too?

 

[Shade]

I don't see any reason not too. Nothing in the text indicates it has a lesser or greater fortitude than other dragons, and since it is similar to the black in other physical stats, we could follow its Con too (modified for size differences).

 

[Gothenem]

Looks good, Spell Resistance? It says standard, should we use Brass (same as the mental stats?).

 

[Shade]

Yes to SR, and the brass progression seems reasonable.

 

[Gothenem]

So, what still have we for da Pinky??

Hide, Move Silently and Sense Motive as class skills?

 

[Shroomy]

If its breath weapon hampers vision like heavy fog, don't forget to mention the possible concealment that it could afford. Also, I would make Perfom (comedy) a class skill.
