Here is the link.

Edit: Those are really cool pics of the Half-dragon and Half-fiend.

Nothing too dramatic, there. CRs have upped, appropriately. I wonder what Awesome Blow does?

 

[Thaumaturge]

Interesting that SR went down 1, but the Ref and Wil save both went up 2. The Fear DC dropped 2 as well.

I'm still trying to understand how the half-dragon's head is positionned exactly...

 

[Zaruthustran]

What's up with the heal spells as sorcerer?

-z, who has yet to DM a dragon and so has not read the entry in the MM.

I wonder what Awesome Blow does?

Imagine now, adventurers bragging about how they got an awesome blow from a red dragon.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Some dragons have clerical spells on their spell lists. Big Red is one of them.

Re: Spell List

Thats a nice spell list. He can potentially create many different effects, my only concern being that his DCs for spells top out at 21-22 (Shadow Evocation and Acid Fog).

Feeblemind at least lowers the Wizards save by 4, the other stuff seems rather easy to resist. Heck the fear effect is a DC 29 and the breath weapon is a 33.

I mean with a +56 grapple bonus...!!! Whoa, +56 grapple bonus, that means he can actually afford to take the -20 and keep swatting!

As for his own saving throws...Fort +25, Ref +19, Will +25....

Yeah, that was your heart skipping a beat

Is emotion still a spell in 3.5? I thought it got split up...

Damn! He can heal his 449 hp up to 5 times with a heal (each only curing 130 hp, but still...).

Hmm DR /magic, heh, guess Dragon DR is now totally irrellevant.

Ref and Will saves are actually the same; this particular dragon happens to have Iron Will and Lightning Reflexes. Subtract those bonuses out, and you have 3.0e saves (which is good, 'cause the HD, Dex, & Wis are all the same ).
