Posted - 04 Sep 2006 : 05:56:45 In doing some FR work I've come across what appear to be errors in the monster write-up for mist dragons in DoF. Given the far, greater expertise of the D&D population in respect to rules as compared to me, I thought I'd post what I've noticed and see if I'm 'right' or 'wrong'.
Firstly, the listing of CRs for mist dragons by age appears to be 1 less per age category than it should be. In the listing of dragons, Orothaumyth is noted as being old (CR16), Ouranalathra is noted as being a great wyrm sorcerer 6 (CR28) and Thalagyrt is very old (CR18). On p.142, the stat references for mist dragons states that old, very old and great wyrm mist dragons have a CR of 15, 17 and 21 respectively. I'm thinking that all the CRs by age should be bumped up by 1.
Also, in the write-up of Orothaumyth, it states his CR as 18, while in the general list, he's 16. I'm thinking that this is a typo and he should be CR 16. It also gives him a speed of 60 ft. although the stats for mist dragons generally on p.143 notes that mist dragons have a speed of 40 ft. Have I missed something to account for his extra 20 ft. movement, or is this another error?
Thanks for the feedback.

Posted - 05 Sep 2006 : 06:36:54 cant see any reason why Orothaumyth should have that Higher land speed unless hes got some sort of magic item (Like Drizzts anklets)but the write up doesnt mention any worn items
