[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2102142, member: 29014"] OK, let's go over exactly what is based on HD, what is based on level, and what is unclear: Size: The SRD is unclear, but it doesn't matter because Simulacrum clearly states that the duplicate is physically identical to the original, so same size Stats: Same as size Normal Attack Types (Tail Whip, Crush, etc) and their damage: These are based on Size, although the escape DC for Crush is based on HD BAB: This is clearly based on hit dice Saves: These are clearly based on hit dice Hit Points: Pretty obvious, based on HD Breath Weapon: The SRD states that the DC is definitely based on HD. The damage dice are unclear Frightful Presence: The SRD states that having the ability is based on age (Young Adult or higher), but DC is based on HD. Spells: Unclear, I would guess this is based on HD SLAs: The SRD states that these are based on age category DR: The SRD states that this is based on age category Immunities: They all have these SR: The SRD states that this is based on age category Blindsense and Keen Senses: They all have these Skills and Feats: Clearly based on HD Edit: Oh and as for the statement "I don't know what SRD you're using." It wasn't meant to mean I don't know where to find the SRD. It was an assumption that you may have decided to use the 3.0 SRD or something and that is why you were paraphrasing it to me with incorrect information. Turns out that you just missed some of the facts, as you pointed out above, which is understandable considering how hard it is to actually use the SRD to build dragons. [/QUOTE]
