Alternate Totems for Dragon Shaman

[Aleolus]

I posted a link here there already, but yeah, here's the link to the one I put there. I didn't name you specifically, because I didn't know you were on there, but I did say it wasn't my creation, and linked this thread.
Here's the link to the other one.

That's actually what I had at first, but it just seemed a bit complicated when it came to the resistance aura and energy immunity features that are associated with the chaos dragon. When I had energy chosen randomly each breath, I gave immunity to confusion and a +2 "resistance" bonus on saves against charms (I think). What would you do about that?

Sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me.

What did you think about what I did this time: random energy each breath, but resistance aura and immunity chosen randomly at character creation?

I was inspired by reading about the time dragon in Dragon #359 to work out the epic dragons in the SRD quickly. Pick your favorite SRD; my web page will have links when I update it with these.

Epic Dragons

• Force Dragon; SRD; NG, LN, N, CN, NE; Concentration, Knowledge (the planes), Spellcraft; Mage Armor (Sp): As the spell, except you can target yourself only (at will); Cone of force
• Prismatic Dragon; SRD; NG, LN, N, CN, NE; Knowledge (arcana), Perform (singing or oratory), Search; Mage Armor (Sp): As the spell, except you can target yourself only (at will); Cone of light (Immunity and resistance aura are to spells with the Light descriptor and to blindness)

Edit: I've added these to the web page and also added further links to the Hypertext SRD.

Just a bump to let you know that I've added 2 more WotC web dragons to the gem dragon category above.

Metallic Dragons

(Note that I've also added the Mist Dragon to the Faerunian dragons category!)

Metallic Dragons

• Mercury Dragon; Monster Mayhem, DrF; NG, CG, CN; Bluff, Disguise, Survival; Protected Sight (Ex): You are immune to blindness and dazzling, and you gain a +3 bonus to saving throws against light or pattern effects; Line of light (deals fire damage; immunity and resistance are to fire)
• Steel Dragon; Monster Mayhem, DrF; LG, NG, LN, NE; Bluff, Disguise, Profession; Poison Resistance (Ex): You gain a +2 bonus on all Fortitude saving throws against poison; Line of acid

How are these looking? (PEACH -- just learned that phrase )

Chromatic Dragons

Ok, here are chromatic dragons, copying in the brown dragon from above. I'll just do one new one today, I guess, and a few more later. Feedback is much appreciated, esp. to tell me if you're still interested!

Chromatic Dragons
The CC is the Creature Catalog.

• Brown Dragon; Mon 38; LE, NE, CE; Bluff, Hide, Survival; Endure Elements (Sp): As the spell, except that you can target yourself only. At will.; Line of acid
• Yellow Dragon; CC; CN, NE, CE; Bluff, Spot, Survival; Endure Elements (Sp): As the spell, except that you can target yourself only. At will.; Cone of scorching air (fire damage).
• Rainbow Dragon; CC; LE, NE, CE; Appraise, Bluff, Spellcraft; Resist Energy (Sp): As the spell, except you cannot gain resistance to sonic energy and can target yourself only. At will.; Line of light (associated resistance and immunity are to fire).

I'm still thinking about the troublesome Fang Dragon entry, as well. One idea I have is to fix the amount of damage the claw attacks due, but to progressively allow them to overcome more types of DR as the character advances. What do you think?

 

[Aleolus]

Hmm, I'm not sure. That one does seem to be the biggest issue. Maybe just drop it, saying that, while it is a dragon, it is too much of a loner and too aggressive for the Dragon Shamans to utilize effectively yet.

Hey! How did I miss this thread dripping with dragons?

Nice work Freyar, and thanks for the ref to my work. I've got some minor edits to upload in a few hours.

Are you going to do the arcane dragons (hex and tome), lung dragons, missing chromatics (orange, purple, yellow), and ferrous dragons?
