Does green dragon breath do damage? When I've played characters who've run into green dragons its been a save or die type deal. I'm considering moving a young green dragon into the first level and the rules in M&T seem to indicate their breathe does hp damage and save for half just like any other breathe weapon.

Hey Red Baron, I agree that M&T states dragons, including green dragons, do hp damage with their breath weapons. There is also a passage in M&M (p20--21, below the saving throw table) that explains a successful saving throws versus poison results in "one-half the total possible hit damage".

If you interpret a save vs death failure as, 'Exactly as many hits needed to kill the character', then 'save or die' becomes 'save for half-dead'. You could have the green dragon kill on a failed save, or deplete half the character's maximum hits on a successful save.
