Francois I prec., "... nothing for changing the posture to segreant
from sejant erect, and nothing for changing the type of
charge. [Lecelina O'Brien of Mountshannon, 12/01, R-Artemisia]"

Specifically, quoth the LoAR:
     Deirdre McLair. Device reblazon. Argent, two dragons combattant
     purpure sustaining between them an arrow inverted vert.

         The previous blazon, Argent, two dragons combattant purpure,
         maintaining an arrow inverted vert, did not clearly reflect
         the size of the arrow. The arrow is co-primary with the
         dragons.
One CD for adding one dragon + one arrow to the single primary group.

Possibly also
Merewyn of Ynys Taltraeth
May 2007 (via the West):
"(Fieldless) A bat-winged amphisbaena purpure."
But probably not.  A possible conflict against a wyvern was mentioned
on the LoI and in commentary; the CD was needed to avoid conflict.  It
was registered without comment, which is not supposed to be precedent,
but I think it gives a hint, a weight on the scales, suggesting that
there's a CD.

Conflict with
Erik of Flamewood
October of 1982 (via Ansteorra):
"Argent, a wyvern erect vert maintaining an oak leaf and a fireball
gules."
One CD for tincture of the dragon.  No CD for maintained charges.

I'll be stopping there without checking the other 150 candidates.
