Hey everyone! Has anyone here figured out or drawn up a savage progression for a red dragon beyond 20th level? If not, has anyone at least attempted what their ECL is at the progressive age categories? For the level I am attempting (ECL 40) I have calculated the Dragon to be about Old to make its ECL that high. (Actually, I put it at 39, but close enough). Any help or guidance into this would be greatly appreciated. I don't usually deal too much with epic.

I would use something similar to the Silver Dragon, which I developed from the published information:


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


Being that the Red is larger than the Silver sooner, it gets a higher bonus earlier: +4, +5, +6 at categories 1, 2, 3. They should gain them +1/2 age categories after a while. The silver is weaker early on, but gains on the Red at the end. So I think this would work:

Red

Age
Category LA HD ECL Source
1 +4 7 11 Monster Manual
2 +5 10 15 Monster Manual
3 +6 13 19 Monster Manual
4 +6 16 22
5 +7 19 26
6 +7 22 29
7 +7 25 32
8 +8 28 36
9 +8 31 39
10 +8 34 42
11 +9 37 46
12 +9 40 49

Thank you very much. As your chart goes, I was over estimating the ECL. (I had Great Wyrm at ECL 55 LoL) This chart is greatly appreciated
