[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5154608, member: 57383"] Challenge Rating 1 is fine. They're going to be hard to shoot down due to their protection from arrows, so a 1st or 2nd level party basically has to face their swoop attacks or use magic to take them out. However, they don't do much damage if they hit. A pseudodragon is CR1 and they have 2 hit dice, nasty venom and spell resistance. Are these fellows so much nastier? The original "nests may contain treasure types K, L, M, and 1-4 small gems (base 10 gp value)." isn't very spectacular for a CR2 monster. I'd be OK with standard coins and goods (gems and jewelery only). Five pounds sounds good. The SRD Pseudodragon is 7 pounds and 3 feet long, but that includes a 2-foot tail. Hawkdragons are shorter (1.5 to 3 feet suggests 2-2.5 ft. on average) but I imagine they're stockier, shorter-tailed creatures with more raptor-like proportions. [/QUOTE]
