[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 3944775, member: 467"] A lot of people play in a homebrew setting. In yours -- whether one you created/DM, or one you play -- what is the single coolest and/or most original element? Share something yoinkable, and maybe yoink something for yourself! --- In Abyscor, my current homebrew setting, dragons come in the usual (evil) colors and sizes. They have no age categories, however. Dragons are born/made out of whole cloth, when a sever natural event occurs at the same time or in the same location that there is a massive influx of magical energy. For example, in my most recent adventure prior to jumping to ToEE, the party encountered two dragons. One was a large sized, not very powerful White, and the other was a massive red that dwarfed "collossal". The white was created when a three day blizzard, a "hundred year storm" if you will, descended on a high mountain pass where a [i]manawell[/i] (a "naturally" occuring high magic location) was found. It wasn't the strongest well, and it wasn't the greatest blizzard, so the dragon was "average" for its type. The red, on the other had, was born tens of thousands of years before when a meteor struck Abyscor (which is a continent modelled after Antarctica) at the site of the Pole, which also happens to be the convergence of all ley lines on the planet (magical energy in Abyscor is akin to our own magnetic field). The resultant explosion, on par with a hydrogen bomb, gave birth to an Advanced Great Wyrm red dragon, one of the five Dragon Lords of Abyscor. [/QUOTE]
