[QUOTE="Dr. Zoom, post: 830987, member: 409"] The very young Red is Large, has 10 ft. reach, 4d10 damage cone of fire breath weapon (cone gets multiple targets more easily), 95 hit points on average, +14 primary attack bonus, great saves, good AC, a bite attack for 1d8+5, 2 claw attacks for 2d6+2 each, 2 wing attacks for 1d6+2 each, and 1 tail slap for 1d8+2. This spells doom for your players. Go with the wyrmling, especially if it has kobold slaves. DMG, page 69. 3 feats and 10 HD worth of skill points. Note that 3.5e changes monster feat and skill progression to be the same as characters get (1 and 1 every 3 HD). Tactics are up to you, but the dragon should take to the air if possible and use its breath weapon first. It should toy with them for as long as possible, and then kill them all. IMO, the dragon will flee only to save his own neck, which should not be necessary with the very young red. For the treasure table, roll twice for each entry on the 5th level line. You dont use the 10th level line. There are a variety of ways to determine the treasure from this chapter in the DMG, and you can use whichever method suits your game. [/QUOTE]
