[edit] Dracon
Created out of a mix of dragon and human blood, the Dracons are an attempt by the Draconic races to tap into the adaptability of humanity while still maintaining the power of Dragons by means of advanced alchemy. Unlike Dragonborn, Dracons never ruled an empire. Dracons live on farms and in the desert as herders, but also in tribes and settled urban areas. Able to employ a wide variety of skills and magics, the Dracons can be a formidable threat.
[edit] Dracon Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 10: The dracon priestess has very powerfull healing abilities.-
DC 15: The Dracons possess several major cities and control over a vast desert, but have no unified empire to speak of, and never had one to begin with. Instead, a variety of kings and chiefs control their civilization instead of a single emperor.
DC 20: Unlike the lost Dragonborn empire of Arkhosia, the Dracons rule themselves, and are independent of dragons. While many Dragons live in their lands, no Dracon city is currently under the rule of one.
[edit] Dracon Consort

[edit] Dracon Consort TacticsFound in the company of kings, nobles, and chiefs, these Dracon females' only defense are their claws. Skilled at dancing and prized for their appearance, they have no fighting skill, are totally unarmed and unarmored and will die quickly if pressed into combat. Usually found in groups, they will only pose a threat to very weak adventurers. Dracon consorts will flee from combat if they can. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[edit] Dracon Priestess
|
[edit] Dracon Priestess TacticsMany clerics of the Dracon temples are female, and as such, are assigned a different role than the males. Priestesses concentrate on healing and maintaining the morale of the troops in times of war. They are responsible for many of the sacred rituals of the temples, including the performance of sacred dances to their gods. In combat, the priestesses stay out of the front lines, but will only retreat if all of the Dracons fighters with them have fallen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

[edit] Dracon Patrol Tactics
Assigned to combat crime in the city which they live, these street-smart Dracon fighters are better suited for tackling subversives and rogues than for resisting invasion. Nevertheless, they are problematic for lower-level adventurers who break the law. Dracon patrols are rarely found alone, as they know that there is strength in numbers.

[edit] Dracon Warrior Tactics
Tribal Dracon fighters from the desert make tough opponents for the unprepared adventurer. Armed with scimitars and throwing daggers, skilled in traveling across harsh terrain, and merciless in combat, these warriors have been the bane of many an invading army.

[edit] Dracon Raider Tactics
Dracons fight using a variety of methods. Usually, they will attempt to attack from the front as a battle begins, but if this proves ineffective, they will resort to other, less conventional tactics. Dracons have little sense of honor, and do not feel guilty about laying traps, using poison, or doing anything that is necessary to gain an advantage over their opponents. Raiders are often used by kings of city-states, who use them to attack the lands of their rivals, do as much damage in as short a time as possible, and retreat back to the safety of their own lands before the rival can retaliate.

[edit] Dracon Soldier Tactics
Regular soldiers are relatively rare among the Dracons; outside of wall guards and city patrols, most of those who are in service to a Dracon king or lord are simply called to service when the need arises, either as part of a militia, as a mercenary or self-proclaimed warrior without any professional training. These Dracon soldiers are armed and trained better than average city guards, and use skill as well as strength in their attacks.

[edit] Dracon Champion Tactics
Dracon nobles, kings, arenas, and temples often have a fighter in their retinue who stands out as the best of the best. Larger and stronger than most other Dracons, the champion is given the best training and equipment available. He singles out the easiest opponents first, then works his way to the more powerful ones. All Dracon champions have the ability to use acid breath.
[edit] Encounter Groups
Dracons may be found in any number of groups; as soldiers for a king, warriors for a tribe, mercenaries for hire, rogues in the city streets, bandits in the countryside, or militia from a village, among other groupings. Some Dracons can be found with tamed creatures, which are often kept as trained guards, pets, or are else under control by magic.
