Message: <blockquote data-quote="mmu1" data-source="post: 592207" data-attributes="member: 319">As other have said already, dragon CRs are a joke, and anyone saying that dragons are just "top of the weight class for their CR" seems to be missing the purpose of having a CR rating in the first place.  At low to mid levels, I'd say they're at least CR+2, at high levels, when serious spellcasting abilities start to kick in it goes up to at least CR+4, in my opinion.Oh, and Hover with its attendant cloud of dust is an ability in dire need of revision.  It's not a magical ability, so it can't be taken care of with Dispel Magic, and the dragon is able to keep it up constantly and indefinitely (all the while able to use the breath weapon or make melee attacks) making it impossible to disperse with spells like Gust of Wind...  Basically, the amount of concealment it generates and the likelihood that there's enough dust around to even create a meaningful cloud need to be considered very carefully...  In this case, there ought to be no way for a young dragon to kick up enough snow to blind the party as surely as if their eyes were covered - at least, there's no way I can visualize that happening, you have better visibility in the worst of blizzards.</blockquote>
