If the base dragon has normal monster Hit Dice the weredragon simply adds the base dragon's HD.  If the base dragon is a true dragon with age categories it gains additional Hit Dice as follows:Small and Medium weredragons gain Hit Dice equal to half the Hit Dice of the base dragon's wyrmling age category (rounded down) plus +2HD for Small weredragons and +5HD for Medium weredragons.Tiny weredragons have additional HD equal to half the Hit Dice of their wyrmling age (rounded down), if the wyrmling age has a single Hit Dice the Tiny weredragon gets +½HD.
