Krishnath said:Additionally for the breathweapon, I thought about giving it 2d6 per age category, but making half the damage fire and the other half acid, as napalm has some acidic qualities. Does this sound like a good idea, or should I stick with pure fire?
Krishnath said:Also, if we give the dragon the fire subtype, you should be aware that it will become vulnerable to cold (taking 50% more damage from cold sources).
Krishnath said:And the dragon should definetly be immune to fire, maybe give it a bonus on saves against poisons also?
Krishnath said:Next thing we need to discuss for the orange dragon is wether or not it should be able to cast spells from the cleric list as arcane spells?
If we choose to have it be able to cast spells from the cleric list, which three domains should we choose?
Krishnath said:And what three additional skills should it have on it's skill list?
Krishnath said:Actually, all the metallic dragons also cast spells from the cleric list and from three domains, as far as I can see, the only official spellcasting dragons that don't are the black, green, and white chromatics.
Krishnath said:As for the original flavor text, the orange dragons where described in dragon #65 as stealthy predators that dwell near rivers and streams and in marshy terrain. I can't find the other dragon article at the moment, but as far as I recall, the only real difference was that they where described as sadistic (which most evil dragons where at the time), and that their native enviroment was changed to rivers and lakes in rainforests. Which is why I gave them an enviroment entry of warm forest and marsh.
Krishnath said:Which brings me to another point, should it have water-breathing as the black and green dragons?
