I would like some help changing them to a better write up, something resembling SHARK Ogre and the SHARK Orc write up, I've tried this but it doesn't quite go. If you need any more Information, don't hesitate to ask.

"Milady," Said Andar, Klyyr giggled, "Would you be so kind as to walk this way?" A smile burst onto his face, and Klyyr giggled as Andar led her out of the teaching circle, they had both completed the spells they had been given, and that had got them into a good mood. "Would you…" she was Interrupted by a horn. A mass of voices cried out "Orcs!" "I shall see you by the river," called Andar making his way through the group of Dregonian, his tail working furiously. "They've gotten much further in this time" Thought Andar as he donned his Chainmail and Tellra. The thud of horn against platemail, and the sombre battle song of the Dregonian was the only thing that interrupted the Orcs war cry. All the Orc that were left, were sent down the steam.

Dregonian
Dregonians are a group of civilized people, with horns and tails, they mainly live in woods, and if outside their forest, they rarely stay in one place for long.

Persona
To a Dregonian, his most prized possessions are his family, his shalna and his home. In a Dregonians mind, a forest symbolizes protection and a river or stream is purity, both are near sacred to them, and so is their protection, thus any housing or equipment is usually created with fallen trees. Although philosophy is not alien Dregonian, it is still a hard thing to master for them (E.g. asking a Dregonian "If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The answer will, more often then not, be "What does it matter? A tree has fallen!").

Physical description
Dregonian stand 6-7 foot tall, and have scales from their waists down ward, ending at their tails (They have no feet) these tails are coloured from green through yellow to red. The skin (apposed to the scales) can be tan to brown or even a light flesh colour. The horns on their heads resemble rams horns and can be used for 1d6 damage, unless they are wearing helmets.

Alignment
Dregonian that are born in their Shalna usually take on the alignment of their parents or other role models (I.E. teachers, trainers or other family)

Homeland
The common Dregonians live near or in forests, and usually near steams. They favour flat ground, and humid climates; they dislike deserts. Dregonians are happy near almost kind of forest. Dregonians do not build houses, and will most likely sleep under large trees, should a storm pass by. Other populations of Dregonian live in places other than forests but do not like cold climates because of their cold-bloodedness.

Religion
Dregonians all worship Ehlonna, some may vary but all the gods they pay tribute to have natural aspect, all except the evil Dregonian who openly worship Merrshaulk and are some times friends of the Yuan-ti.

Language
Dregonians speak their own language. They also pick up most languages much faster then humans can.

Names
A Dregonians name is very important to it; it shows individuality.
Some common names are
Male: Andar, Frulle, Doulk, Shorn and Gernohr
Female: Leialla, Klyyr, Hourn, Shrenale and Guolle

Just a FYI - if you're talking flavor text and not rules, this is fine in General Discussion. If you get into rules tweaking, we'll slide it over to House Rules.

Have fun!

By the way, am I correct in that these guys are like snake-centaurs, with no legs at all and just a huge snake-like tail? What do they eat (and how do they eat it?); do they share other snake-like characteristics?
 

Take one yaun-ti, chop of the tail, laugh and point for a few hours(They ARE evil) do the same to a satyr, now glue them together. They eat anything a Vegitarian would eat(Herbs, fruit, fish) and they use their mouth(:D) as for snake-like characteristics, no not really, only the cold-bloodedness.
 

I wanted to rewrite them up, as I have seen SHARKS alternitive ogre(And others) and that was a brilliant way to write them up, so I think "I'm going to try and mimc that, with the Dregonians" Alas I have failed. So now I've posted the original *Cough*1.6*Cough* and I was wonderring if SHARK could help write it up his way.:( I suck.
 

Who created them? Are they a natural race, a divinely created race, a sorcerously created race, or something else? Deciding why such an odd thing exists - and who their God is - will help.
 

It was an accident at an evil wizard/cleric who was sacrificing Yuan-ti and Satyr, but he fail, his lab blew up and now we have The Dregonian. The Worship Elhonnia(sp) but not strictly, the will worship any nature god, the evil ones worship Merreshulk(SP) the Yuan-ti god, O and good and neutral Dregonians feel it's their duty to kill Yuan-ti on site(or is it Sight?)
