[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9102184, member: 57383"] I'm not bothered if we limit it to LA only age categories. it was ages above Juvenile that could lead to excessive ability scores. With LA as a cap, the toughest we have are Young Red or Young Gold Weredragons with Str +14 and Con +6 which is quite acceptable. We were going to apply a minimum of +8 Str, +2 Con in Dragon and Hybrid form so it's at least as good as the Half-Dragon template. Only the above Young Red & Golds will exceed the Strength +8 minimum, but many age categories will get Constitution adjustments better than the minimum of +2. The question is, should we allow "score minus 10" adjustments for the mental ability scores (with a +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha minimum based on the Half Dragon) or just use the Half Dragon modifiers? If we allowed that it would make a difference with the following Weredragons: [INDENT]Juvenile Green would be +4 Int, +4 Wis, +4 Cha Wyrmling or Very Young Bronze would be +4 Int, +4 Wis, +4 Cha Young Bronze would be +6 Int, +6 Wis, +6 Cha Young or Juvenile Copper would be +4 Int, +4 Wis, +4 Cha[/INDENT] [INDENT]Wyrmling Gold would be +4 Int, +4 Wis, +4 Cha[/INDENT] [INDENT]Very Young and Young Gold would be +6 Int, +6 Wis, +6 Cha[/INDENT] [INDENT]Wyrmling and Very Young Silver would be +4 Int, +4 Wis, +4 Cha[/INDENT] [INDENT]Young Silver would be +6 Int, +6 Wis, +6 Cha[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]…with all the other Weredragons ages being +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha.[/INDENT] Hmm, not sure about it. It makes the Metallic Weredragons smarter than the Chromatics much like the true dragons are. The way Juvenile Green Weredragons would be more intelligent than any other Chromatic Weredragon is a bit of a quirk, but then Greens are supposed to be particularly cunning so I don't mind that too much. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
