To be fair, the actual word I asked him to translate was Muhlatim.
Ultimate ones. (It can also mean "ones decided upon", but I doubt anyone will use it in Modern Hebrew in such meaning. Did you give it to your friend out of context?)

The conversation went a bit like this.
Me: Can you translate something for me?
Friend: What language?
Me: Hebrew.
Friend: Go for it.
Me: Muhlatim.
Friend: I am decided.
A verbal conversation?
Khisanth the Ancient said:Will all the 3.5e adamic dragons stay adamic, or will some be considered eschatolic now that that category's been added? And if not, what would an eschatolic dragon be like?
Alzrius did a Superior Half-Dragon Template for all the dragons in thw Bestiary 1 in the Design An Epic Monster Contest thread. Check back a few months, it's here somewhere.
Anti-Spirit would logically be based on the notion of opposition to any alignment; the 3.5E version would have Apostasy by default at Wyrmling and have ways of turning powers like a Paladin's Smite against their users. Also, in the sense of Spirit meaning "enlightenment" in general, it would probably have level-draining abilities galore. All in all, a very nasty customer.My current idea is that the Adamic Dragons will still be the default dimensional dragons, the Eschatolic Dragons will be what happens in the absence of those Dimensions...the simplest example of that is Anti-Matter (Apocalypse/Doomsday) Dragons. But what about Anti-Time, Anti-Spirit or even Anti-Entropy. So these seem like the interesting puzzles to solve.

Anti-Entropy would be a combination of a Ravid (animating any objects near it) with Goetic Blood, making copies of itself constantly and subconsciously. This one would be very dangerous if left unchecked; it could rapidly fill an entire plane with nothing but copies of itself.
Anti-Time would look a lot like a regular Time Dragon, but would be hot to the Cometary Dragon's cold, and produce an aura which actively prevents any use of time-related abilities inside it- so no Time Stop, no Time Dilation, and most importantly, no time-senses like Sixth Sense (it can always surprise its opponents) or Seventh Sense (my PCs particularly would HATE this aspect).
Anti-Fate would be based on the Evil Eye ability, forcing opponents to always do the worst possible (for themselves) things. Bad luck all around, the most astonishingly unlucky things would happen constantly around this dragon. Up to and including sudden complete and total existence failure.
Anti-Thought would produce an aura negating all Insight bonuses, have INT-draining abilities, and generally act to reduce the mind/intelligence quotient of anything nearby.
In their own way, all of these are apocalypse-causers, if you want to get explicit about it.
