[QUOTE="Zesty Gordita, post: 5474885, member: 6668121"] So I have a character in a friend's campaign. He had some sort of magical amnesia, which made him forget who his parents were. Later on, it was revealed to my character that his dad was a Half-dragon (Black) and his mom was a Half-dragon (Bronze)... Now, I know that D&D isn't based on logic, but, logically speaking that would make my character 1/4 Black dragon 1/4 Bronze dragon and 1/2 Human. By my understanding, this would make my character either a Half-dragon, or he would have the Draconic template. If he had the Draconic template, then that would be an easy fix. However, even though he is descended from 2 different Half-dragons, that should still make him a Half-dragon... just, not an ordinary Half-dragon. I even thought of things for him to have (like a breath weapon that is a line of green electricity that does half acid damage and half electricity damage, and resistance 10 to acid and electricity). Although even after bringing all this up to him, he won't give me a straight answer on anything. Now my questions for you: Which do you think my character should have, the Draconic template, some kind of Half-dragon template, or no template at all? Do you think it's right for a DM to "assign" a potentially race changing background to a character? And if the DM does, does the DM have the right to just ignore the questions of the player, or should the DM accept his mistakes and come up with a solution to the problem? [/QUOTE]
