[QUOTE="sirwmholder, post: 3920023, member: 41558"] Although not terribly original, I designed a home-brew Dragon based race... very close to Dragonborns... depending on their unique areas of study they would develop different characteristics (Scouts would develop wings but their scales became brittle... magic users learned the secrets of internal fire... fighter types learned to use their bulk and tails to their advantage ) . Their society was a conquering one that saw itself as a Roman/Egyptian Empire... without the Gods. They conquered because they felt they were above the other races and should be served by them. Great Dragons had faded from the world long ago... then this army appeared sweeping fast through the mountains... then on toward the other races. They destroyed every civilization along the way and took slaves. Ogres and some giants tried to align with them but ultimately were subjugated with the rest. A few of units in this army took note of the culture of these lesser races... they were mostly the guards and peace-keepers. After a while they began to sympathize with the fleshies and turned on their own kind calling themselves Scalebanes. A brutal civil war ignited which finally broke the army. All that remained of this tide of destruction was a shaky alliance between all the races that had been conquered. Each race started the healing process and began to rebuild... the Dragonmen that had betrayed their own kind had to find a place in this new world... for "Scalebanes" could never go home. Hope this helps, Wm. Holder [/QUOTE]
