Help - I need to come up with 5 dragons before Sunday

[Voadam]

Normal dragon advancement:

Dragon, outsider, nonassociated class levels +1 CR per 2 HD or 2 levels added

or

Monster’s ability scores based on elite array* +1 to CR

 

[Voadam]

so to go from the base:

Paragon great wyrm black dragon is CR 37, blue dragon CR 40, green 39, red 41, and white 36.

and get to 45-50 you need to add 9 CR

Add 2 to CR for every 3 HD after base great wyrm for new age categories continuing past great wyrm.

Normal dragon advancement:

Dragon, outsider, nonassociated class levels +1 CR per 2 HD or 2 levels added

or

Monster’s ability scores based on elite array* +1 to CR

So for the 9 CR either advance 4 age categories and 2 HD or elite array stats.

Or just advance 18 HD without new age categories. or 16 HD and elite stat arrays.

or a combination, etc.

Perfect! Now, does anyone know the crit. multipliers for a dragon's bite and claw attacks? Seems like it should be more than just x2.

 

[demiurge1138]

Well, they are. x2 only, that is. But the Draconomicon has the jaws of the dragon , a magic item that gives the bite attack an increased crit multiplier, and there's a similar spell for dragon spellcasters.

Demiurge out.

OKay, here's what I cooked up using the online generator from pathguy.com and switching out a couple of feats from ones in Monster's Handbook.

Man I would love to help you but You should have sent this request out sooner. I could have wipped up some very nasty stat blocks but you did not give us much time.

Do the dragons need to be living?

Do the dragons need to be living?

After stating the base creature I took one look at what a no Con. score would do to it and scraped the idea of making it undead.

This is a white dragon that has been advanced 5 age categories past Great Wyrm using the advancement rules in Draconomicon, had the Savage Template from Book of Templates: Deluxe Edition applied, and given 1 level of Sorcerer plus 12 levels of the Elemental Master PrC from the Draconomicon.

Languages: Draconic


Breath Weapon (Su): 60 ft. cone, 17d6 cold, Reflex DC 57 half.

Crush (Ex): Area 30 ft. by 30 ft.; large or smaller opponents take 4d8+33 points of bludgeoning damage, and must succeed on a DC 57 Reflex save or be pinned.

Snatch (Ex): Against Large or smaller creatures, bite for 8d8+22/round or claw for 4d6+11/round.

Tail Sweep (Ex): Half-circle 40 feet in diameter, medium or smaller opponents take 2d8+33 points of bludgeoning damage, Reflex DC 57 for half.

Icewalking (Ex): This ability works like the spider climb spell, but the surfaces the dragon climbs must be icy. It is always in effect.

Freezing Fog (Sp): 3/day; as solid fog cast by a 23rd level caster except that slippery ice forms in the cloud, creating a grease effect, DC 49 Reflex Save to avoid falling.

Frightful Presence (Ex): 510-ft radius, HD 63 or lower, Will DC 49 negates.

Cold Mastery (Ex): +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both the dragon and its foe are touching ice or using frost or icy burst weapons.

Elemental Command (Su): The dragon can turn or destroy creatures which have the fire subtype, like a good cleric turns undead. It can also rebuke or command creatures with the cold subtype, as an evil cleric rebukes undead. The dragon can use this ability 10 times per day.

Summon Elemental (Sp): Once per day, the dragon can use its breath weapon to summon one greater water elemental, two huge water elementals, four large or medium water elementals. The breath weapon functions normally, but in its wake the elemental(s) appear, attacking in the next round.

Energy Focus (Ex): + 4 to the save DC of spells it casts with a cold energy descriptor.

Energy Burst (Su): 60-ft radius, 12d8 points of cold damage, Reflex save DC 37 for half. Creating an energy burst counts as a use of the dragon’s breath weapon.

Energy Storm (Su): 60-ft radius, 24 points of cold damage per round, lasts for 12 rounds or until dismissed. Attacks made by thrown weapons and projectiles automatically fail to hit if their path of travel is within or passes through the area of effect. This ability counts as two uses of the dragon’s breath weapon and the dragon cannot use its breath weapon while the storm is in place and for 2d4 rounds after it subsides.

Elemental Qualities (Ex): The dragon is immune to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning. It is not subject to critical hits or flanking.

Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day - fog cloud, gust of wind, wall of ice; 1/day - control weather. As a 23rd level caster.

Other Spell-Like Ability 3/day - polar ray. As a 20th level caster.

Just noticed I missed a prerequisite for the Elemental Master PrC, nothing a level in Sor won't fix, I'll update the above stats after I add the level.

 

[Ghostwind]

Thanks, Phineas. That's a big help. Sorry about not answering til now. I worked all day yesterday and this is the only chance I've had to get online since.
