[QUOTE="skymage, post: 451026, member: 7347"] dragons can't polymorph into a half dragon for the same reason a human can't polymorph into a half dragon. all i have is the psionic handbook with me so i had to reference it for polymorph self and it says right in the description you cannont change into a bigger or powerful version of a creature (or smaller weaker version), nor can you turn into a variant form of a creature. for example you can turn the subject into an ogre, but not a half-dragon ogre. otherwise everyone always turn into a half dragon whatever dragon or not. although the half dragon template might be a good base for the power of the feat. [COLOR=skyblue][B]Improved Shifting[/B] prerequisits the ability to cast polymorph or similar magic, use wildshape, or have an ability that mimics polymorph base fort save 5+ when in another form that has str dex or con lower then your natural form you gain a morphing bonus equal to 1/2 the difference in stats round down. special this feat never yeilds a penalty[/COLOR] example adult black dragon with stats of 23str 10dex 19con using improved shifting morphs into a human average stats of 10str 10dex 10con his stats would be 16str 10dex and 14con. not quite the half dragon template but pretty close 2 less strength 2 more con and the older the dragon gets the large his bonus will be. the feat is usable by anyone although the fort save can be raised if you want to keep it for dragons only. this is how i would do it and i think i might ask my group to try it out (i'm playing a high dex shifter and get a feat next level).
