Dragons, they are an iconic part of the worlds most famous fantasy role playing game, they are even in the
title. However, unlike in all previous editions, the 5th edition rules do not use a consistent formula for
determining the attributes of dragons.
To help other game designers I have created the following charts that state the Hit Dice, Natural Armor
Class, and Attributes of the ten dragon types given in the core rulebooks. I then averaged these statistics to
determine the typical advancement rules to apply to chromatic, metallic, and miscellaneous dragon types.
It will be these statistics that I will use in all my projects and I hope it will make the DMs work easier
when creating new dragon types.

Miscellaneous Dragons
These statistics are the result of averaging the statistics given above for both Chromatic and Metallic
dragons. These stats may be used for dragons that do not fall into the typical good/evil categories. Note that
these statistics are very close to those of version 3.75s Primal and Imperial dragons differing only in
resulting in one less hit dice and lesser strength scores.
