[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7487524, member: 83242"] I believe dragon size (1) should be a factor in BW damage, but I also believe balance should be a factor (2), and the particular fantasy logic of the game world (3). I think that is pretty clear from the totality of my posts. I already mentioned that I often make blue dragon's lightning breath the most deadly, that makes fantasy logic to me (factor #3 up there). Blue dragons are smaller than reds, so clearly size is not the only factor I consider. Ahh, you assume to much; I have done it, many times. I had several posts on monster design on the old WotC forums; however, here are some drafts (not edited or final balanced) of my most recent dragons: [URL="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/6701439/"]Epic Dragons[/URL], and here: [URL="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7009750/"]Hardcore Dragons[/URL] Now there is still work to be done on these, but one thing that I am doing that can be another balancing factor (other than damage) is having the breath weapons impose conditions. I may have gone a little overboard in some of these, but it is a start - still a lot of work to be done. FYI, there are a lot of other monsters on there as well. I am tempted to give these 1e dragons a little BW tweak, but I don't play 1e anymore and I have so many 5e design projects going that I just can't justify the time (along with work, wife, kids, house edition, trying to actual play D&D, and of course commenting on forums).
