As commented on before, here they are -- the fifteen core xD&D-type dragons, as tweaked by yours truly and statted up Lindwyrm-style.
A note or two:
* On breath weapons: Yes, I know I don't give a frequency of breath use here, or with a lot of other dragons I've written for that matter. This is entirely because there's so many idiosyncratic ways (3/encounter? 3/day? every [x] actions? etc etc) that, man, just go ahead and use the one you like. I'd advise that if you also decide to borrow in the xD&D version of "damage = (current) hit points" you miiiiight want to limit that breath usage, just saying *lol*
* No dragonfear?: Dragonfear is a pain in the arse. I believed that decades ago and I still do now. PCs should have a reason to be afraid of the scaly bastard that isn't "the mechanics made me do it" and automatic to boot.
Anyway, on to the beasties --
