Half-Dragon:[edit]

This is a variant of the half-dragon race found in the Dungeon Master's Guide 3.5. This race is also mentioned in the Races of the Dragon however, just like the other races that are half-breeds listed in the Player's Handbook 3.5 (i.e. half-orc, half-elf), a half-dragon is assumed to be half-human. The half-dragon race-template overwrites all other benefits of the base race, except abilities modifier and sensory skills like Darkvision or Light Blindness.

Description[edit]

Half-dragons, to put it simply, look like upright dragons. Depending on the type of dragon a half-dragon is descendant from determines its scale color, immunity, and breath weapon. All half-dragons have claws, razor-sharp teeth, and a tail, and some even have wings. They stand 6 to 8 feet tall and weigh between 250 to 420 pounds. Half-dragons also inherit their dragon parent's quick maturity and long life. They reach maturity at about 12 and live to about 3000 years.

Relations[edit]

Half-dragons typically don't coexist with other races, they are often seen as frightening because of their heritage, being of chromatic dragon heritage further hurts this. However, in some cases, they become friends with scholars, dragon-obsessed, and other dragon-like races such as Troglodytes and Dragonborn. In some cases with their long lives they can become revered as great Advisors or Warlords.

Alignment[edit]

A half-dragon's alignment is greatly influenced by his dragon heritage: metallic-descent half-dragons generally are Good or lawful, though in very rare cases they are chaotic or Neutral ; it is almost completely opposite for one of chromatic-descent: they tend to lean more on the chaotic side while in very rare cases they are lawful or Neutral.
