Ancient Dragon should in most cases kill at least several party members unless sleeping (original - 1974 era player/DM - thought)

2025-01-16 20:40:15 +0000 UTCIt seems to me that it's proficiency and expertise in Initiative. For the gargoyle, +0 (Dex) and +2 (PB) = +2 (Initiative). For the Gold Dragon, +2 (Dex) and +14 (2x PB) = +16 (Initiative).
