Cuaglar 06-12-07, 11:30 PM	I've been trying to struggle through an idea I had for dragon PC's in Eberron, playing agents of the Chamber helping to unveil the Draconic Prophecy. Basically, my problem is that I want to play dragons older than juvenile, but I don't know how I'm supposed to do it. I've tried finding formulas for increased level adjustment, but many of the true dragons don't fit a pattern. I read an online game character creation instruction saying that dragons could play there at an age of at least Old, but their number of free class levels were lessened by the dragon's Challenge Rating +1. I didn't understand this, really, so I'm looking for other avenues.

Silver dragon is: Dragon ECLs Silver Age Category LA HD ECL Source 1 +4 7 11 Monster Manual 2 +4 10 14 Monster Manual 3 +5 13 18 Monster Manual 4 +5 16 21 5 +6 19 25 6 +6 22 28 7 +7 25 32 8 +7 28 35 9 +8 31 39 10 +8 34 42 Epic Level Update booklet 11 +9 37 46 12 +9 40 49 A Red would be the same as a Silver. Some smaller ones would be a little different. [Edit: Well a Red should be the same, but it isn't. I don't understand some of them, and I think the Green is way overrated for its LA, but in general once you get going, use +1 per 2 age categories. Otherwise, it is too much.] ROB
