Oh, I've no illusions that the template wasn't fairly powerful from the get go. I definitely knew this thing was reaching. The comparison to the Drow does say that toning down the template a bit is a good idea, which is what I had in mind.
General ideas for toning it down then:
* Eliminate the Type Change
* Tone down the Breath Weapon
* Perhaps eliminate the 'Any +2'
* Reconsider the Sleep and Paralysis Immunities
I'm rather dedicated to keeping the Resistance, as I feel that seems like a fair descent from the dragon's blood, but most other things are quite malleable. Thus, suggestions and thoughts are happily solicited.
As well, Sekhmet, it's been a long while since I've done much with Dragons and Dragon types in general. How is it they can qualify for epic feats so quickly?
