[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1224623, member: 2012"] [b]Dracovaran[/b] Ok, this creature breaks the rules a little... :D. Ok, a lot. It is a tauric lizardfolk young blue dragon, which was then increased to large size by using the Gigantic template from BoT:DE. I changed it up a bit by giving the creature epic attack progression and several epic feats, and re-evaluted its saves based on 20 levels of fighter (as per monstrous humanoid) and added epic bonus saves. Oh yes, it's a World of Kulan creation and is 3.5E. Enjoy! :) KF72 -------- [b][i]DRACOVARAN[/i][/b] [b]Large Monstrous Humanoid (Earth)[/b] Hit Dice: 28d8+132 (258 hp) Initiative: +4 (Improved Initiative) Speed: 50 ft., burrow 30 ft., fly 160 ft.
