The chromatic dragons are black, blue, green, red, and white; they are all evil and extremely fierce. The metallic dragons are brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver; they are all good, usually noble, and highly respected by the wise.True Dragon Skills: All dragons have skill points equal to  (6+ Int Modifier, minimum 1) x HD + age category). Most dragons purchase the following skills at the maximum ranks possible: Fly and Perception. The remaining skill points are generally spent on Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, Spellcraft, and Use Magic Device at a cost of 1 skill point per rank. All these skills are considered class skills for dragons. (Each dragon has other class skills as well, as noted in the variety descriptions.)From reading the above - I say that:True Dragons have skill points are equal to 6+ Int Modifier (minimum 1)+ age category per HD. Fly and Perception are considered trained class skills.  Most True Dragons purchase Fly and Perception and any remaining skill points are generally spent on Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, Spellcraft, and Use Magic Device. All these skills are considered trained skills for dragons. (Each dragon has other trained skills as well, as noted in the variety descriptions.)Decipher Script was not given. Linguistics now covers Decipher Script, Forgery, and Speak Languages. Linguistics is a Untrained-No. (Decipher Script and Speak Languages are also Untrained-No.)  Should Linguistics be added as a True Dragons skill?I did not make any other skills trained class skills.  Or should I make them all trained class skills?  (Trained class skills get the +3, trained skills do not but you con add points to them)Gold Dragon, Great Wyrm (41 HD, Int 32) Skill Points for HD = 29 points (6+11+12)  -  yes that’s a lot of points when there is only 32 skills that they can be put in (33 if Linguistics is included).I like very powerful dragons.  I feel that dragons should be the toughest creatures encountered for their CR on any plane they are on.</blockquote>
