[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6357995, member: 57383"] Come to think of it, the original's 1-8/1-8/2-20 is identical to a 2E Green Dragon's, but has claws 1 step stronger than a 1E Green Dragon, which is more support for going either standard bite plus either standard claws or one-size-stronger claws. It might be worth considering going back to standard damage for both, since the flavour text ("four short, muscular legs which end in webbed feet suitable for digging and swimming") has little to suggest their legs are exceptionally powerful. However, I do quite still quite like the idea and giving dune dragons stronger claws would help distinguish them from other dragons. We'd need some sort of Special Ability to describe it, i.e.: [B]Increased Claw Damage (Ex):[/B] Because of their sharp claws and muscular legs, dune dragons deal claw damage as if they were one size category larger. The above is a radically pruned version of the Increased Damage ability of the Fang Dragon from [I]Monsters of Faerûn[/I]. [/QUOTE]
