[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6066327, member: 52734"] Just for chuckles, these are the stats for a "Ancient Red Dragon" in my own system (54 Fantasy). 1 point in an ability/score is about 2 points in D&D; each "Wound" is about equal to 5 hp in D&D (so this things has about 170 hp). Do you see this as something that'd be too complicated to run, just about right or too simple if it was converted to D&D?
