This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

They aren't releasing the whole thing, but some relevant stats here (again, huge image so I won't embed).

For comparison:

Ancient Red
AC: 22
HP: 546
Sp: 40/80

STR: 30  DEX: 10   CON: 29    INT: 18   WIS: 15    CHA: 23
Damage immunities: fire
Senses: blindsight, darkvision, passive perception 26
Challenge: 24 (36,500 XP)


Adult Red Dragon
Huge dragon, chaotic evil
Armor Class 19 (natural armor)
Hit Points 256 (19d12 + 133)
Speed 40 ft., climb 40 ft., fly 80 ft.
STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA
27 (+8) 10 (+0) 25 (+7) 16 (+3) 13 (+1) 21 (+5)
Saving Throws Dex +6, Con +13, Wis +7, Cha +11
Skills Perception +13, Stealth +6
Damage Immunities fire
Senses blindsight 60 ft., darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 23
Languages Common, Draconic
Challenge 17 (18,000 XP)


I'm guessing the Ancient Red has similar legendary abilities like the adult, just on a larger scale.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.
