[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7484057, member: 1013"] One thing I noticed from playing S&W, and digging though OD&D more, is that the dragons, and a lot of the 1e MM creatures, work a lot better in an OD&D context than 1e. Especially PC created in later 1e with crazy power ups like UA. 30 HP means a lot more when there are almost no stat bonuses to attacks and damage unless you are a fighter, and even then its a lot more dialed back than even the PH stuff, much less the weapon specialized UA material. And likewise 1d6 damage from a claw attack hurts a lot more on a D8 HD fighter with a max of +1 to HP rolls. 1e steadily broke itself as it moved later into its run, then 2e learned the wrong lessons and made dragons demigods. Not sure this really relates to your work here but I like to spout off. I doubt I'll apply your dragon rules to S&W but if I do I will let you know. Good thread! [/QUOTE]
