Draco Historial - Dragons in D&D!

Totally, yeah, those things would be great to have in the blue dragon entry in the MM!

Sounds like a vote for more codified noncombat to me! If those elements could be distilled down to a few lines on a stat block, I'd be into it.

Thanks, those replies help me get a clearer picture of what you have in mind. (For whatever that's worth!)
