[QUOTE="Silverglass, post: 1653650, member: 14071"] Yes there are no neutral dragons in the MM but I would guess that the Draconomicon may have some if we ever include that book. And if we go epic I think the Prismatic and Force dragons are Neutral. The worshippers list can only ever be a guide. Saying Chromatic Dragons there should only be taken to mean that Chromatic Dragons worshipping Naeron is a valid choice under the right circumstances just as Beher is a valid choice, whereas a CE Red Dragon worshipping Adenan would not be in any way valid. Being on the list does not enforce a rule that they all must worship Naeron. In the same way those who seek knowledge may worship Naeron but other deities such as Os and Lunakav would be equally valid choices for differing alignments. I think there needs to be a specific mention of Chromatic dragons because Naeron is mentioned as their creator so that relationship needs to be clarified (true I think in light of the questions we have had). I agree that we don't want to meddle with the sacred cow too much but by the core rules you can have a N Black Dragon, 3.5 alignments, even the "Always", specifically say that there can be exceptions. But I will add "rare" to that sentence to make it clear that this talks about these exceptions. Of course Green and Blue Dragons being Always LE means that the normal dragon of these colours can be a Cleric of Naeron. So you might say that Blue and Green dragons usually worship Naeron and can gain cleric levels (not that dragons advance by character class anuway) and the other chromatic dragons may (say about 50% of them) worship Naeron but only the exceptional ones of LE, LN or N alignment may become clerics (say about 5%, mostly being LE). But I dislike putting hard percentages on paper for these things as later changes may contradict this. [/QUOTE]
