[QUOTE="Adavoi, post: 5415034, member: 91694"] I'm not sure where you were looking up force dragons, but what you're describing would be almost purely custom/house-ruled. I'm not sure if there are rules for half&half dragons, but I suppose you might be able to convince your DM to apply the half-dragon template onto a dragon. The Monster Manual I only lists restrictions for the template as living and corporeal creature so for a mere +3 LA you'd have everything listed in the template. The complicated part comes with playing a force dragon (even part force dragon). Templates work by applying it to a base creature so the simplest thing would be to take a force dragon and apply the Half-Dragon(Gold) template onto it. The problem with this is that force dragons are epic. Disregard the fact that a Wyrmling force dragon has a CR of 13 - it has 20 HD and no listed LA. You could hash together a progression based on what's listed in the magazine or the Draconomicon, but it would take you deep into epic levels and won't win you any favors with your DM (and that's for the a progression for a force dragon to Wyrmling alone). EDIT: You can apply the half-dragon template as Half-Dragon(Force) but it just gives you the special benefits consist of a mere 6d8 cone of force 1/day. You don't get an Immunity. [/QUOTE]
