Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) piercing+ 3 (1d6) fire damage.Claws: Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing + 3 (1d6) fire damage.Bonus Action Breath Weapon: DC 12 dex save for 4d8 (18) fire damage (save for half)...It does constrain the template design if you want it to be able to calculate CR changes without basically rebuilding it.</blockquote>
