Nice ideas.

SJ mentioned once that he felt a bite attack (if not breathing fire) made sense.

But the claw damages are just too low, even if you reason that dragon ST probably is for fatigue and damage not arm ST.

ST too even just for damage purposes is really low in terms of comparing the ST of other creatures.

Imagine you clip a dragon's wings and don't let it breathe fire or bite. Such a dragon at 4 hexes should still be probably more damaging with its claws than a 1-hex bear, lion, deer, horse, gargoyle, no? Instead its claws are a weaker attack, and the ST for taking damage isn't much more (same as a bear, and that's not taking into account how much a dragon may weaken itself by breathing fire).
