[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7487970, member: 83242"] We do love to theory craft don't we? To be clear, I am advocating increasing tail damage relative to the rest of the physical damage. If you want to keep overall damage the same, reduce it somewhere else. The tail is a very powerful weapon. Your dragons are larger (or can be) than RAW 1e dragons. I am very aware of the size. My house is 50' long, just about the length of a 1e red. I have been to seen dinosaur skeletons and life size models of dinosaurs of about the size of these dragons in DC, Utah, Philly, and Ohio. I have always loved reptiles and frequented zoos in DC, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, and California and been within a few feet of large reptiles (komodo dragons, alligators, crocodiles, etc.). Additionally I have owned: iguanas, nile monitors, savannah monitors, basilisks, geckos, anoles, chameleons, caimans, and I caught and raised an alligator for 6 years. I am very familiar with the size and strength of draco-form reptiles. I am guessing you are not. Your GW red is 66 feet long, or 3x the size of largest salt-water croc. Thus it is in the realm of 50,000 lbs. (I don't know the density of a dragon, so you could go up or down from that depending, I would probably mimic birds and put the weight closer to 40K). That is the size of several bull elephants put together. That is incredibly powerful. Furthermore, I am intimately aware of the strength of 6-foot alligator (that is a roughly a 2 HD dragon to you correct?) and how they (and iguanas and nile monitors for that matter) use their tails. Please do not assume you know what I am imagining. As I said above, I am suggesting raising tail damage, not overall damage. Just trying to be helpful, but you don't really seem open to it. I like what you've done here and it has given me some ideas for the next tweak of my 5e dragons. I thank you for that, but I have no interest in running a 1e game. [/QUOTE]
