This is the third (of five) posts comparing "equally powered dragons". I'm going to propose a few changes to certain stats for these (published dragons), in the interests of consistency. I'd like feedback on my proposals. The previous posts in this series are at:

Stat-by-stat comparison of "Grade A" Dragons: Red/Gold/Topaz Analysis. Provides some useful context (best to read it first).
Stat-by-stat comparison of "Grade B" Dragons: Blue/Silver/Amethyst Analysis


In the table below I've listed some game stats for the third tier (Grade C) dragon types (Green, Bronze, Sapphire). For the columns with numeric values (e.g. CR), there is a secondary column (e.g dCR) to the right that shows the amount of change in the statistic between age categories (more details on this in the first post). Both the game stats themselves, and the deltas between successive age categories, will help us identify some interesting patterns (and exceptions to those patterns).

The degree of similarity in values across the three dragons in each age category makes it pretty clear that an attempt has been made to have the dragons in a particular "tier" be of equal power.

Below, I'm going to enumerate some observations about these three dragons, commenting on which differences look like mistakes (while acknowledging that the designers are of course welcome to introduce variability wherever they want to) and which differences look intentional. Given that the gem dragons from Kobold Press aren't as official as those in the Monster Manual, I'm going to put less weight on them (and be more prone to assume errors in their material), justified or not.

I'd appreciate input from others interested in dragons, internal consistency, finding ways to develop accurate measures of CR, etc.



CR: The CRs of Green and Bronze dragons match exactly across ages, but Young, Adult and Ancient Sapphires have a CR one less than their peers. In the interests of consistency, I'd prefer to increase the CR of Sapphire dragons to match those of Green and Bronze dragons (we'll explore some ways below).

AC: All three dragon types have the same AC for the first three age categories, which improves by +1 each category. But there is a +2 jump in Ancient Green AC, and a +3 jump for Ancient Bronze and Sapphire dragons. Neither inconsistency seems necessary to me. At the very least, Ancient Greens should have the same AC as its peers. And having all three ancients have AC 20 (instead of 21 or 22) would be more consistent. This might impact CRs, but probably not (and we could increase ancient damage to compensate if necssary).

S: Green and Bronze dragons increase their Strength by +4 each age category (with Green slightly weaker than Bronze), while Sapphires increases Strength by +3 each category. This means Sapphires are progressively weaker than their peers, which also affects their attack and damage rolls. Unless there is some canonical reason for Sapphire dragons to be weaker, I'd prefer to have them increase by +4 instead of +3. Furthermore, I would have them start at Str 17 (like Bronze dragons) instead of 14 (so that Bronze and Sapphire dragons have equal strenths). The reason for this will be clear when we discuss bite attacks (Green dragons have a benefit there that we want to compensate for).

D: Green dragons have Dex 12, while Bronze and Sapphire dragons have Dex 10. This is fine, except that it implies that Green dragon scales are weaker than Bronze/Sapphire scales (they have the same AC, but +1 of their AC is due to Dex, so their natural AC bonus is one less than Bronze and Sapphire dragons). This doesn't really make a great deal of sense to me ... I'd prefer to see Green dragons having an AC one point higher because of their higher dex. A similar situation (but reverse) happens between Red/Gold/Topaz dragons ... see this post for details.

C: Bronze and Sapphire dragons have identical Constitution scores, and Green dragons are consistently 2 points lower. I believe this is intentionally done to compensate for Greens increased bite damage (see 'bite' below for more on this).

I: Green dragons increase Int by 2 each category, starting at 14 (Int 20 as Ancients, tying for smartest in the Monster Manual with Copper dragons). Bronze dragons also increase Int by +2 each age category, but start at 12. Sapphire dragons have a different pattern, although one that does have some internal consistency, as they start 15, then 19, then 21, then 22 (increasing by +4, then +2, then +1). This makes them the most intelligent of all 15 dragons (by +1 as Wyrmlings, +3 as Young and Adult dragons, and by +2 as Ancient dragons). This does fit somewhat with the following



Tactical Savants. Sapphire dragons view themselves as the greatest military minds in all Faerûn. Their psionic powers grant them limited precognition, allowing them to outmaneuver even the most cunning foes. Sapphire dragons treat defending their lair as a high-stakes war game, commanding their servants like pawns and using permanent clairvoyance sensors within their lair to observe the unfolding battle. (GDOF-13)


However, it is somewhat at odds from the following except about green dragons:



The most cunning and treacherous of true dragons, green dragons use misdirection and trickery to get the upper hand against their enemies. Nasty tempered and thoroughly evil, they take special pleasure in subverting and corrupting the good-hearted. In the ancient forests they roam, green dragons demonstrate an aggression that is often less about territory than it is about gaining power and wealth with as little effort as possible.

...

Manipulative Schemers. A wily and subtle creature, a green dragon bends other creatures to its will by assessing and playing off their deepest desires. Any creature foolish enough to attempt to subdue a green dragon eventually realizes that the creature is only pretending to serve while it assesses its would-be master.(MM-93).


I don't object to Sapphire dragons being smarter than Green dragons, but I would have liked to see more context for their brilliance in GDOF (the MM does a better job of talking up Green dragon intelligence than GDOF does of Sapphire intelligence).

One possible change here would be for Sapphire dragons to start with Int 16 and increase by +2, which would be a more standard progression with very little changing game mechanically. They would have a +1 on Int saves as Wyrmlings, but they would have Int 18 instead of 19 as youngs (no game-mechanical difference between 18 and 19), and Int 20 instead of 21 as adults (again, no game-mechancial difference), and would end up with the same Int 22 they have now.

W: Green and Bronze have identical Wisdom scores, increasing by +2 per age category. On the other hand, Sapphire dragons increase by +2, then +1, then +1, and end up with Wis 14 below the Wis 17 of their peers. In the interest of consistency, I would change Adult Sapphire from Wis 13 to Wis 14, and Ancient Sapphire Wis 14 to Wis 15 (technically less than the other two, but game-mechanically no different).

R: Green and Bronze dragons both increase Charisma by +2 per age category, with Bronze being 2 points higher than Green at each category. On the other hand, Sapphire dragons start at 8, then 10, then 14, then 14. I think Adult Sapphire Charisma should be 12 instead of 14, so that they too increase by +2 each age category. Note that their description mentions "Sapphire dragons are antisocial at the best of times and murderously territorial when tested." so having a low Charisma does fit.

wlk: walk speeds are identical across all ages.

fly: fly speeds are identical across all ages.

clm: none of these three dragons have a climb speed.

swm: swim speeds are identical across all ages, except that Sapphire Wyrmlings do not have a listed speed (this is pretty clearly just an oversight ... they should have a swim speed of 30).

bur: Sapphire dragons have a burrow speed (consistent with other burrowers, while Green and Bronze dragons do not).

dark: darkvision is identical across all ages.

blind: blindsight is identical across all ages.

bite: the bite damage of Greens at all age categories is higher than for Bronze or Sapphire dragons (and this is true for all chromatic dragons compared with metallic or gem dragons). This is because chromatic bite attacks do both piercing and elemental damage, whereas metallic and gem bite attacks do piercing damage only. On the other hand, metallic and gem dragons have two breath weapons to the chromatic dragons one breath weapon. More game-mechanically relevant, this increased bite damage risks Green's have a higher CR than Bronze or Sapphire dragons (which we want to avoid). This is probably why Greens have slightly lower Str and Con scores (so that the three dragon types end up having similar CRs while having slightly different dynamics). See my comments above about Str and Con.

claw: I haven't seen this reported in the official MM errata (https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/MM-Errata.pdf) yet, but the claw damage for Ancient Green dragons is clearly a typo (4d6+8 should be 2d6+8). Across all 15 dragon types, claw damage is always 2d6+<strength_mod>, except for Ancient Greens. Other than that, there is only slight differences in expected claw damage across the three dragon types, all down to differences in strength (see my suggestions about Str above).

tail: Consistent, with tail damage differences due solely to strength differences (see my suggestions about Str above).

breath1: DCs are consistent, with Green DCs one less than Bronze/Sapphire. Green and Sapphire dragons both have a cone-shaped breath weapon of the same size, but Green uses d6 damage dice while Sapphires uses d4 damage dice. Adult Sapphire dragons should do 22d4 (55 avg) instead of 18d4 (45 avg) to match the 16d6 (56 avg) of Adult Greens. Similarly, Ancient Sapphires should do 30d4 (75) instead of 28d4 (70) to match the 22d6 (77) of Ancient Greens. Bronze dragons have a line-shaped lightning breath weaponthat does less damage as a Wyrmling but more damage (by 10+hp) at older age categories. I think it would be better if Bronze wyrmlings did 4d10 (22), young Bronze did 8d10 (44), adult Bronze did 10d10 (55) and ancient Bronze did 14d10 (77). But maybe there is a reason why Bronze dragons do more than Greens (if so, we may want to consider increasing Sapphire damage to match Bronze instead of matching Green).

breath2: Only Bronze and Sapphires have secondary breath weapons (whereas Greens do more damage with their bites). DCs are consistent.



Do the above suggestions for changes feel sensible? I'm all for adding differences when they increase flavor and roleplaying possibilities, but I'm also in favor of internal consistency. Besides which, if all dragons in a given tier have very similar game-mechanical values, it makes it easier to compute CRs (once game-play has identified a good CR for one of the dragons in the tier, we know the CR of all dragons in the tier). See the related thread for a discussion of how computing dragon CRs from first principles aligns with published CRs.

What would you do differently, in the above analysis?

In case you want to see some of the trends across all dragon types that I mention above, I'm including the complete table of all 15 dragons below.

I know people have already pointed out to you that the gem dragon statblocks you're using are homebrew, but it's worth noting that there is exactly 1 official 5e gem dragon statblock that's been published—it's the adult sapphire, and I think you can get it pretty cheap by donating to Extra Life through DnDBeyond (not 100% sure on what site, but I know it's something like that).

In some ways, the official statblock validates some of your guesses about "mistakes" that Kobold Press made (like, it's CR 15, not 14, and Str 23, not 20). But it's also pretty wildly unique compared to the chromatics/metallics—it only gets 2 legendary resistances, instead of 3, and it only gets to make two attacks (1 bite/1 claw) per Multiattack instead of 1 bite/2 claws. On the plus side, it gets some innate psionic spells, it has telepathy, it has the Tunneler trait and a 40 foot burrow speed (instead of 30 foot and no Tunneler, like the blue), it has condition immunity to Frightened, it has an innate Spider Climb trait, its breath weapon does damage and has a status effect all at once (instead of having to pick one or the other like a metallic), and it loses Wing Attack and Detect in favor of two psionic-themed Legendary Actions instead.
