We've got new, incredibly powerful dragons thanks to the IH Bestiary, so of course it makes sense that we'd also have to have a new iteration of the half-dragon template!Coming up with a template that can cover three different types of dragons (epic, adamic, and nehaschimic) was pretty hard, especially considering each type had several different kinds of dragons in it. Further, I didn't want this to just be the half-dragon template with the numbers ratcheted up and identical breath weapons (though I tried to make the breath weapons less powerful than the parent dragon types). To make it unique, I had to introduce new powers thematically based off the existing dragon types. Since the biggest physical change the half-dragon template makes is, IMHO, the addition of wings, I decided to give each breed's wings special powers. Hopefully, they captured the feel of the parent dragons while still being unique.And of course, I had to include Paradox42's new dragons here also. They were just too good to ignore.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />EDIT: I was looking back over Garistus's stat block, and noticed that his spell resistance was so low as to be useful against opponents who were anywhere near his CR. I went back and added a line to the template that boosts spell resistance to a level that should hopefully make it relevant again.</blockquote>
