At closer ranges (within 30'), the shimmering color differences can be easily distinguished by the trained eye.The new breath weapons are summarized for each dragon.Amber (chlorine gas and disease, fire and melt): See notes for the jade dragon (disease) and ruby dragon (fire and melt).Here's the Jade and Ruby breath weapons referred to:Jade (disease): A victim who fails his saving throw takes full damage, and he and all items carried become infected with a rotting disease. This disease causes all nonmetal items to rot away in 1d6 turns unless a cure disease spell is cast on them during that time. A victim cannot be affected by any healing spells, nor healing item, save a cure disease effect. The disease also inflicts 1 point of damage per turn (but not cumulative in the case of multiple failed saving throws). If the saving throw is successful, the victim takes only half damage and avoids the disease.Ruby (fire and melt): A victim who fails his saving throw takes full damage, and all items carried start to burn or melt (no saving throw). Paper items are destroyed instantly; leather items in 1 round; all other nonmetal items in 2 rounds; nonmagical metal items in 3 rounds; and magical items of all sorts in 4 or more rounds. If the item has a bonus ("pluses"), add 1 round to the 4-round period for each point. Items that give immunity or resistance to fire also melt, but in double the normal time. The burning or melting items may be saved if immersed in water (or otherwise cooled, such as magically) before they are destroyed. The DM may choose to deduct 1 or more "pluses" from partially damaged items. If the saving throw is successful, the victim takes only half damage.Originally from Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia (1991).The statblocks for these dragons are identical to the BECMI versions of the Gold Dragon - here's the AC10 - Bestiary of Dragons and Giants version of them:[TABLE="width: 500"] [TR] [TD]Gold & Brown[/TD] [TD]Small[/TD] [TD]Large[/TD] [TD]Huge[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Armor Class:Hit Dice:Move:Flying:Attacks:[/TD] [TD]-211**90′(30′)240′(80′)3[/TD] [TD]-416 + 3***120′(40′)300′(100′)Up to 6[/TD] [TD]-622****150′(50′)360′(120′)Up to 6[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="colspan: 4"]Breath Size: as Green or Red Dragons[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Damage:# Appearing:Save As:Morale:Treasure Type:Alignment:XP Value:XP with spells:[/TD] [TD]2-8/2-8/6-361-4(1-4)Fighter: 1010HL.(& C.)n/a3,500[/TD] [TD](see chart)1-3(1-3)Fighter: 3010H×2, IL.(& C.)n/a6,600[/TD] [TD](see chart)1-2(1-2)Fighter: 3611H×3, 1×2L.(& C.)n/a14,000[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]    [TABLE="width: 538"] [TR] [TD="colspan: 2"]DAMAGES:Types & Sizes of Dragons[/TD] [TD]Bite orCrush[/TD] [TD]ClawsKicks, Wings,and Tail[/TD] [TD]Breath[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Gold & Brown[/TD] [TD]SmallLargeHuge[/TD] [TD]6d66d6 + 46d6 + 8[/TD] [TD]2d4 each4d3 each4d4 each[/TD] [TD]Up to 88 hpUp to 131 hpUp to 175 hp[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]    The BECMI Amber Dragon first appeared in the D&D Master Set (1985) as the "Dragon, Brown", which is essentially the same as the Rules Cyclopedia version.</blockquote>
