You'd think he'd mention bronze weapons or armour if it was supposed to be ancient Greek equipment though, so it is most likely meant to be a normal 1E Broadsword made of steel. A rhomphaia would likely have similar AD&D stats, but be shorter and more likely to bend.
As for the "broadsword" I guess that could be part of the Dragon Warrior's body too. Or we could just give it a Longsword or Greatsword as those are the commonest hefty sword in 5E.
I guess theWhateversword doesn't have to follow the standard Weapon table rules if it's a monstrous ability, no more than the Longsword and Whip of a Balor are normal versions of those weapons.
I suppose that can be solved by making the teeth a magic item and stating that "typically, 1d4 will be found at any one time"?Been crazy busy and musing on this - first of all, if dragons are reptiles they don't have canines but undifferentiated teeth, so theoretically there are no limit to how many can come from one dragon.
So maybe dragonscale armor can leave the dragon warriors' armor non-magical?I'm sure stuff made from pieces of a monster still exists in 5E.

Okay, I've been digging through the 5E Monster Manual and noticed the "Multiattack" option. Do you think it would be worth considering that the original says "attacking as 6th level Fighters" and that that would technically have meant that 1E dragon warriors would have had as many attacks vs creatures with less than 1 HD as they had "Fighter levels" (PHB1, p. 25)?
Or would that be making 5E into 1E again?
