I don't have a lot of experience with 2e monsters, but apparently there is a size difference between a 2e Very Young Bronze Dragon and a 3.5 Very Young Bronze Dragon.Normally, I wouldn't care and I would just use the 3.5 version. But in this scenario, the dragon's size is supposed to make a bit of an impression and cause the PCs to consider their next move based on this intimidating creature guarding a cavern.A medium sized dragon chained to the floor and forced to guard this cavern just isn't intimidating enough. But, the PCs will be roughly 6-7th level by then and a large bronze dragon may be too high of a CR for them. Especially because dragons play as a lot higher CR than they actually are.The color of the dragon isn't that important. I could settle on a large sized dragon, but I would prefer a huge.Is there a large or huge sized dragon that could be a fair encounter for a 6-7th level party? Or are there any tricks to handicap a higher CR monster so it plays legitimately as a lower level CR? It could have a birth defect or something and completely work with the original story behind its presence there.</blockquote>
