[QUOTE="rabindranath72, post: 7225500, member: 34007"] Small dragons (e.g. 9HD for red dragons) have a lower "to hit" chance than huge dragons. In general, given the typical dragon hit dice ranges (blocks of three), since the "to hit" table increases by blocks of two hit dice, there's always a difference between the different dragon sizes. So, average and huge red dragons have the same "to hit", which is higher than the small's one. XP awards also depend not only on hit dice, but also on actual hit points. So a very young, small red dragon will be worth a lot less XPs than a small, ancient red. By the way, have you seen the expanded rules for 1e dragons in the 1e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting? (the grey box) They give dragons two additional age categories, an increased number of attacks, and the possibility to "aggregate" and "split" the total damage potential of the breath weapon.
