The bonus hit point portion of the dragon's HD (as in 61d12 "+1037" using the sample advanced red as an example). What is the method? thanks.

You then modify that BAB with the Dragon's size and Strength modifiers to get the Attack Bonus listed. The Dragon's bonus Hit Points is simply based on the Dragon's Constitution bonus. Multiply the constitution bonus by the HD and you get the bonus given. In the example you give, I suspect the Dragon has a Constitution of 44-45? HTH! http://www.geocities.com/edymnionii/KkatSmile.txt --Kkat
