 ====== Dragon ======
+===== Breath =====
+Dragon breath's damage is based on the dragon's maximum hit points, not its current hit points.((This was confirmed in a Dragon article I believe. TODO: Find the issue #. Anyway, DMs, do not nerf dragons. They are supposed to be scary.))
+It is absolutely critical to note the rule in the Dragon monster entry which states that the DM must dice a 50-50 chance to see if a dragon will breathe.
+A dragon can breath on approach when flying, and then use either its claws OR bite (but not both claws and bite).((DMG 51.)) In this case, no 50-50 chance is diced -- the dragon can do both!
+===== Spell selection =====
+Spell selection is random unless the dragon has Genius or higher intelligence, at which point the DM can select spells.((If you check the dragon descriptions in the MM, you will find this to be the case.))
 ===== Being eaten =====

 A character who was eaten by a dragon has a percentage chance to be //raise//able based on the creature's size, the dragon's age, and the time since being eaten.<sup>Ex</sup>
-There is an X-in-10 chance for the character to be un//raise//able due to digestion, where X is the number of days that passed following the character's consumption before the character was "rescued".((Adjust this as suitable for your milieu's dragons. Ours digest slowly.)) If the character has not been digested, refer to the following table:

 A character is more likely to be //raise//able if the character is smaller and/or eaten by a larger dragon since less chewing is required.
+Characters who are not digested but also not //raise//able due to chewing can still be raised as long as //regeneration// is  cast first.
