[QUOTE="Uchiha_Arthas, post: 6733929, member: 94127"] I made this custom template way earlier (think I even posted part of it here) but I am getting back into D&D again and would like some feedback before I allow my players to use it : It's really just the standard Half-Dragon Template from the MM but with the following changes: [B]L0:[/B] +2 Bonus to Listen checks. (Player gets this at Char Creation). [B]L1:[/B] +2 Str, + 2 Con, Darkvision 60 ft. Dragonblood subtype, Low-light vision, natural armor +1, +4 racial bonus on saves against sleep and paralysis, +2 Bonus to Intimidate, Spot. Search checks. Powerful Build Trait. [I][U]Powerful Build:[/U] [/I]At Level 1 of this template they get the Powerful Build Trait. (I really don't see why a Half-Dragon should not have this. [B]L2:[/B] +2 Str, + 2 Int, +2 Char, Bite , breath weapon (Weak), Immunity to energy, natural armor +1 (+2 Total) [B]L3:[/B] +4 Str, Breath weapon (full) , true dragon type, natural armor +2 (+4 Total), Wings [U][I]Breath Weapon ([B]Weak[/B]):[/I][/U] [B]1/2 of [/B](1d8 per 1/2 Class Levels) , DC: 10 + 1/2 Class Level + Con Mod, [B]Once a Day.[/B] [U][I]Breath Weapon ([B]Full[/B]): [/I][/U]1d8 per 1/2 Class Levels , DC: 10 + 1/2 Class Level + Con Mod, [B]Once every 1d4 Rounds.[/B] [I][U]Wings:[/U][/I] As per Dragonborn of Bahamut. (Initially gains Increase to Jump and Glide ability, at 6th Class Level can Fly at 30 feet at average...etc) [B][U] Optional Epic Half-Dragon (Really Unsure on Balance of This. Should only be taken above Lvl 20):[/U][/B] [B]L4:[/B] +2 Con, +2 Char Fly Speed increased to 2x Base Land Speed. Darkvison 120 ft. Improve Flight maneuvrability by One step. Grow a Tail (Get Dragon Tail feat). Gain Scent Ability. Natural armor + 1, [B]Awaken Frightful Presence (Monsterous Feat from Draconomicon, page 67, use Class Level instead of Racial HD)[/B]. [B]L5:[/B] +2 Con, +2 Int Can Fly in Medium armor, Improve Flight maneuvrability by One step, Blind sight 60 ft. Natural armor + 2, [B]Awaken Spell Resistance (Monsterous Feat from Draconomicon, page 67 use class level instead of Racial HD)[/B], Optional: Grow one size category -> Medium to Large.. Please evaluate and critique. Opinions would be appreciated particularly whether you guys think it is still worth a +3 LA at regular with the Powerful build trait? and how good is the Epic Version? Would you want to trade in an epic level for this? [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
