Initiative Cards: Monster Set 1: The White Dragon

by Marc Schmalz
Layout and Typesetting: Marc Schmalz

Introduction

Dragons are among the most complex creatures in the d20 System. GMs can spend hours aging a dragon for a home campaign, and there's little to guarantee that the final stat block will be correct.

When developing the cards for Initiative Cards: Monster Set 1 and Monster Set 2, The Game Mechanics decided to create one of each basic dragon and age it for inclusion in the cards. With the work done, we're sharing the completed dragons as well. The next time you need a dragon, you can simple grab one of these and tweak it to suit your campaign.

As we said, dragons are complex creatures, and even experienced d20 System developers can make mistakes. If you find any errors in our work, please take the time to visit our website and post your findings (and the supporting data) to our message boards. We'll try to make sure that both the Initiative Cards and this publication are corrected.
