[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6572920, member: 57383"] Hmm, that progression seems unlikely to do much at the larger sizes. Curing disease and ability damage is trivial at those kinds of CRs, so unless the damage is high enough to present a serious risk of death or incapacitation it'll be little more than a speedbump. 1d8 or 1d6 Con damage will take three or four time periods to slay a PC. If those time periods are hours (or even minutes) a high level party will have killed the dragon, removed the disease and cured all the ability damage in way less time it takes for an infected person to take even one lot of damage. Having it closer to the Jade Dragon's damage put in fewer steps would seem better.
