[QUOTE="see, post: 8586839, member: 10531"] Okay, edited repost from the kobold thread: The explicit word "chlorine" was dropped in 3rd edition, but arguably, they never stopped having a chlorine gas breath weapon. After all, 3rd edition didn't include "poison" as a damage type, so, of the 3e damage types, what would you label corrosive chlorine gas other than acid? The unambiguous breath weapon type changes in D&D for the Original Six (the Black, Blue, Golden, Green, Red, and White were the six dragon types in the original booklets) have been confined to the Gold(en) losing its chlorine gas breath weapon in favor of a weakening gas with 3rd edition. For the Next Four (the Brass, Bronze, Copper, and Silver appeared in Supplement I: Greyhawk), the big changes were the Brass switching from a [I]fear[/I] cloud to a heat cloud in 2nd edition, and then from a heat cloud to a line of fire in 3rd.
