Just that including them among the five main gem dragon species leaves them the odd man out. I homebrewed the converted 3.5e amber and pearl dragons as a sister branch to those five gem dragons. They're not psionic out of the egg, but develop psionics in later age categories. They're more like terrestrial dragons with aquatic adaptations, basically just giving them the water breathing ability and enhanced swim skills. The Oceanus and Styx dragons in the 3.5e Draconomicon are the aquatic true dragons that we had in 3.5e. I homebrewed an entire group of aquatic metallic, chromatic, and gem dragons such as quicksilver (which I differentiated from mercury), sepia, and aquamarine as respective examples. I did it mostly as a spin-off from the lore of Bahamut's Children: if Medrinia is his representative to the good aquatic dragons, where are they? Granted, bronze dragons could fall under her dominion as well, but that's it? Makes her feel kinda lonely not having an entire group of species to watch over.</blockquote>
