Hey Dave, I got a chance to look over these abilities and features and must say that these are all fantastic additions to a dragon's combat routine! Just a note on Crush, as written, only targets that dodge the attack and do not have a reaction are grappled, when I believe the intention was to...

Wow you really have gone all-in on the different attack modes haven't you :) I absolutely agree with you, dragons are special, and to have them be treated as simply normal monsters is doing them a disservice IMHO. Do you want someone to playtest these dragon rules? I can probably do so...

Looks good so far. I am curious to see where you are going to go with this, and whether you are going to stick with the AD&D 2e based lore or are going to head off in your own direction. Once the alternate abilities are posted, I will be sure to give you feedback on them.

If anyone is interested, I have some lore for this creature that I can post.

Much of what is in here IS consistent with what is already available to existing ancestries. The base features, natural attacks, flight, heritages, longevity feats, ageless patience, breath weapon, lore...is all taken either directly from existing ancestries or slightly modified from that base...

One of my favorite third party products of all time is In The Company of Dragons Expanded for pathfinder 1e. So I decided to fully stat up a mythic dragon pc using the rules presented there, as well as the excellent rules and fixes presented by Legendary Games to the general mythic framework. As...

I am starting this out with a huge shout out to both Bandw2 (on the Paizo forms) and u/fanatic66 (on Reddit). Both of there ideas have been instrumental as baselines for this work (Bandw2 for his original draft of dragon ancestry and archetype, and u/fanatic66 for his fantastic dragonborn...

Much appreciated. Enjoy your break!

It seems a bit strange to jump from mythic to non mythic with a higher CR, then jump back to mythic again and repeat the pattern. Especially as the bounded accuracy nature of 5e means that increasing CR by just 5 or so levels will probably result in the mythic dragon winning in a fight (doubled...

Absolutely understandable, I will do some work of my own in the meantime.

You got any sat blocks of great wyrm dragons made? I like the idea of building her using a great wyrm dragon as the baseline.

Hey Dave2008. What do you use currently to calculate CR for these creatures? (Asking because if I am going to rebuild Rajara using your rules I will need to know what the baseline numbers are for her). Do you have any recommendations for what her CR should be as a draconic quasipower? Also I...

As a side note, I would be very very careful with the limited magic immunity trait for your deities, there is a very good reason as to why Rajara only has it up to 3rd level (and I have been considering removing it altogether). It is an extremely problematic trait that essentially locks anyone...

Hey Dave2008. Are you planning on making traits for demigods? It seems strange to not have any traits for them when you have traits for other types of divinities. I am considering doing some big updates to Rajara using your rules as a baseline, but as she is only a demipower (at most) it is a...

You are welcome! For those who are curious, Rajara is a homebrew dragon goddess and my current character in an epic level 5e game. You can check out all the lore and other information about her in this thread.

Her statistics block is in the second post, and I have done all of my updates directly to that post.

On reflection, I think that having the tail/wing target armor class is fine, as it allows the current damage scaling to be kept. I also like the idea of the tail sweep covering a dragon-sized area, while making wing buffet a smaller AOE. Breath coming from bite and an AOE would work, however...

Does anyone have any comments on any of the lore?

Wow! I am really liking what you are doing with this! A few questions though. 1) The dragons tail slap and wing buffet are attacks that target AC rather than forcing saving throws, correct? 2) Have you considered changing the AOE of the wing buffet so that it gradually increases with the...

The reason why her statistics block is so complicated is because she is not designed to be a typical monster, rather she is designed to have enough options to make her viable as an extremely powerful character. I offhandedly mentioned back in post #1 that I have actually played her as a pc. So...
