Converting True Dragons

[Mortis]

It's definitely possible to do it either way. I'm more for the "roll 'em all and divide" simply because that's how similar monsters do it (pyroclastic dragon and hellfire wyrm, for example).

Well if that's how it's done let's not rock the boat.

Not that rolling separate color-coded dice for different energy types isn't fun.

'Til you forget what the mauve dice represented.

What do the rest of you think?

I suggest we stick with Shade's method as it has been used offically before.

Works for me.

Split the die rolls pyroclastic and hellfire style (and iron style, for that matter)

OK, so do we want to go the 2d10 route like the gold and red, or tone it down to 2d8 like the silver and blue to account for the greater versatility of energy damage?

Should the "energy beam" breath weapon deal untyped damage like the purple dragon's?

 

[freyar]

Go with 2d8 per age category and untyped damage on the line, I'd say.

I agree with the untyped damagefor the line, and as its for the secondary breath weapon 2d8 per age category seems enough.

I'll post the paper after giving folks another day or two to look it over.

What I should have said was "a couple days plus my vacation".

I'll post it today.

Let me take a look at it again (to ensure it is different enough from the prismatic). I've been itching to do the grey dragon, and those two might make for nice opposites.

Well, I've made a grey dragon right here and I believe that the Dragonlance Campaign Setting has a grey dragon template, which is considered a degenerating template, if you're craving to use a grey dragon soon in your game.

Hold that thought, the original might be cooler than my homebrewed version.
