Is there errata out for the Draconomican book? I can't find any errata on WotC's website. I find it hard to believe that the Draconomican is a perfect book. I glanced through it for the first time today and found that there seems to be some charts missing for the Landwyrm. There are example landwyrms of different types and of different ages but the charts that show what abilities are gained for different age groups seems to be missing. Now, I could of overlooked it so when I begin to read it in depth I hope to find it, however, I believe there is something missing.

Thanks,

Only errata I can think off is the clarification in the FAQ about how the dragon prcs add their bab/saves on top of those accrued by the racial HD, even if those class lvs would otherwise trigger epic bab/saves progression. Evidently, this is meant as a special exception to the epic rules to ensure that dragons retain much of their "bite" when multiclassing. :cool:

There's a long-running errata thread somewhere here that hasn't had a new post in a long time, lemme find it... ah, here it is: Potenial Items for Errata or Reprint Corrections (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=158428)

Landwyrms don't have age categories.

Thanks.

after reading more i believe landwyrms should have age categories. I guess I get to make them up.

Landwyrms aren't 'True Dragons' thus they don't have age categories. Nor, do they deserve to be categorized in the same category.

you could always make your own age categories ... the landwyrms work out okay like that using 1 (Plains, underdark), 2 (tundra, hill), 3 (mountain, jungle, desert) intervals.

The forest landwyrm is the difficult one ... I split it into age categories that go like this
Tiny-Wyrmling 1d12
Small-Very Young 3d12
Small-Young 4d12
Small-Juvenile 5d12
Small-Young Adult 6d12
Medium-Adult 8d12
Med-Mature Adult 9d12
Medium-Old 10d12
Medium-Very Old 11d12
Large-Ancient 14d12
Large-Wyrm 15d12
Large-Great Wyrm 16d12

abilities didn't really change much ... str, dex, con are all sized based (MM/SRD size change chart). Int doesn't change (messes w/ skill points), wis and cha may change a point or two depending on age category (they always reach the avg score shown in the Draconomicon).

I also went thru and broke down the skills (and found quite a few errors for the landwyrms) feats BAB, ... etc.

I did the same for wyverns, dragon turtles and some other dragon creatures.

I like the idea of age categories ... especially if you want a mountain landwyrm encounter with a wyrmling or juvenile ...

they should have given them tail slap attacks as well ...
