[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3567501, member: 326"] Hi dante mate! :) No it would be vastly overpowered, and it would also require you to revise every set of Dragon stats. You are making an assumption that all dragons start with mere 10's, which isn't the case. No it wouldn't, go back and look over core continuity. Dragons don't get additional size modifiers because they are included in the bonuses. Indeed, these are called Epic Dragons. :p There is no dragon rule continuity, just the closest approximation - which is exactly what I have. Dragons are not greatly underpowered, they are perfectly balanced at the median range (Green/Bronze), slightly overpowered below that and slightly underpowered above that. Of course they get this. It doesn't leave mental issues anywhere - I suspect you simply want to boost dragons for your own nefarious purposes. :p Incorrect, but feel free to post which indiviual dragon has this breakdown - let alone the AVERAGE! :D Even the Gold Dragon doesn't have that progression, it has a +1.4 average (over 6 scores) instead of +1.0. Exactly, my rules are for creating NEW dragons, not retrofitting old ones. You can suggest it certainly, but I won't be adopting it, its far, far too great a boost for a true dragon and none of the dragons in the Monster Manual increase at the rate you are suggesting. You simply want to boost them too much. If you want such powerful dragoons use epic dragons. Who knows what the heck WotC were thinking at the time. :p They don't mention them certainly, whether they were taken into account is anyones guess. [/QUOTE]
