[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9738430, member: 57383"] Well we've got to figure out the [b]Special Qualities[/b] and decide on the Challenge Rating. For the former, I think we're OK cribbing from the [b][url='https://www.enworld.org/posts/8126797']Weredrake[/url][/b]: Hmm, apart from changing "Weredrake" to "Weredragon" di we need to add Spell Resistance to the above? That's a Special Quality listed in the SRD [b][url='http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/dragonTrue.htm']True Dragons[/url][/b]: That's covered by [B]Draconic Defenses[/B], although we could make it explicit by mentioning it in that trait. Hmm… upon reflection, I'd rather have the Spell Resistance be based on natural HD like we did for the Breath Weapon, since otherwise a Giant-based weredragon will have a piddling low SR. How about: [INDENT] [I]Spell Resistance (Ex):[/I] As weredragons age, they become more resistant to spells and spell-like abilities. The spell resistance is the same as a dragon whose type and racial hit dice matches the weredragon's base dragon. For example, a juvenile red fire giant weredragon with 16 dragon hit dice and 15 giant hit dice will have spell resistance 26, the same as a 31 hit dice very old red dragon. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
