So I want to run Dragonlance using D&D Next, and after Greg Bilsland suggested re-skinned Hobgoblins for Draconians I gave it a whirl. I looked at the old DL-1 Dragons of Despair and the Dragonomicon Metallic Dragons for some other ideas.
The Stone Dead ability wording is strait from the DL1 adventure and I will probably tweek some of the other actions he has like the Leaping Attack. I wanted to incorporate that from the 4e version since the gliding aspect is mentioned in the original version of the monster.
Increased the to-hit bonus for the melee attacks.

Steadfast:
The Baaz Draconian cannot be frightened while it
can see a friendly creature within 30 feet of it that also has this trait.

Dead: When a
Baaz Draconian teaches 0 hit points, it turns into a stone statue. The person
who struck the death blow must make a successful Dexterity Check with a -3

within ld4 rounds, freeing the weapon. Its armor and weapons remain.
