[QUOTE="Chorn, post: 2207323, member: 11849"] Magic, epic, cold iron, silver, and alignment based DR is supernatural so RAW it keeps it. However, my objection is more of a flavor thing. I personally feel that a dragon's DR is based on the supernatural hardness of its scales combined with its massive size. Sorry if I didn't make it more clear I was offering some flavor based nitpicks as opposed to ones based in actual concrete rules. Strictly by the RAW it keeps it. But again my objection is more of a flavor based one. Since it's taken on a human's physiology it probably no longer has the "breath weapon organs" in its body. Dragon disciples get a breath weapon, but then they're based on the character slowly changing his physical form to that of a dragon. Although to support the dragon keeping its breath weapon while polymorphed, a creature that can't breathe can still use its breath weapon. Those articles don't have a great track record for even resembling the rules for D&D in my opinion. :] I mean do you really want the party wizard tossing a Cloudkill and autokilling the dragon with it? :) Off the bat, I'd say base it off a sorcerer based Eldritch Knight of the appropriate level while keeping in mind that it has significantly higher hit points and BAB since it doesn't have actual sorcerer levels to retard its prowess in physical combat.
