Hey all,
I'm currently running an epic level Dragonlance campaign and intend to cap the campaign with a battle between my players and one of the Dragon Overlords. I'm looking to create a stronger version of an Ancient Dragon, more akin to Tiamat in power (RoT). The issue I'm having is that simply beefing up the stats feels less than satisfying and using Tiamat's stats wouldn't work since what makes her so deadly is her multiple breath weapons.
I've been toying with giving them spellcasting but allowing them the full progression a full caster gets, though that feels like a pretty flat way to up their power as well.
Have any of you got any more...novel ideas to make a Dragon Overlord more threatening? Or have you found any statblocks for them elsewhere?
Any help is appreciated!
