[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8491461, member: 57383"] So Opal next, I guess. I'll just link to the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7455163']Original Stats[/URL][/B]. Okay, I guess the first question is how many Hit Dice do we give Opal? Double the original's 27 for [B]54 Hit Dice[/B], which is six more HD than Pearl? But the original Opal had three more HD than Pearl's 24, which'd be [B]51 Hit Dice[/B]? We also need a set of Neutral Dragons for his special abilities. I think we discussed this back in the misty dawns of prehistory… …Oh, we did! Post on [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7477084']Dragon Types[/URL][/B]. Post on [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7491090']Hit Dice[/URL][/B]. …and we sort of agreed on something! Now I'm wondering of an even number of Hit Dice would work better, like [B]50 Hit Dice[/B] for Opal and 52 Hit Dice for Diamond? If we have Pearl/Opal/Diamond go 48/51/54 HD then the base saves will go +26/+27/+29 and I'd rather have the jump in saving throws from Ruler to Ruler be even. Could make it 48/52/56 HD, but that'd give Diamond three more Hit Dice than the 53 HD of standard-issue Bahamut. Don't much care for that. The Great Dragon is a rung above all the other Rulers, so we should give it plenty of Hit Dice! [/QUOTE]
