[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 2651625, member: 11434"] I am pretty sure that a Radiant dragon is still considered a True Dragon. That's what I based my post on. :) Unfortunately, I don't have the books with me at work, so I can't check. I would point out that while the metallics and chromatics from the MM do seem to have HD-1, most of the dragons played here don't have the base number of HD, which the MM dragons do. And from what I've read from the SRD (really wish I could reference my books), when you advance a monster's HD, you increase BAB, saves, feats, and skills. It doesn't mention increasing special abilities (such as nat armor, spell resistance, etc). Dragons have age categories that increase these things, and the other monsters (that I can recall) don't increase special abilities at all. I'm not trying to be difficult, and I'm sorry if I am anyway. :( I would just like to explain my reasoning as to why the house rule should be a broad category change instead of just applying to a few. The MM dragons are already more powerful than the non-MM dragons for the pretty much the same CR and ECL, I'd hate to see the gap widen farther. I'll bow to GM decision of course, but I'd prefer to state my reasons for opposing in the first place. :) [/QUOTE]
