Drakon is ancient Greek for dragon. The drakon pre-sented here resembles eariler tales of the Middle Ages before the power bloat of modern dragons. Remember that, although STR is not adjusted, as a Large creature you can still carry more. DragonsWhile the dragons of the Green Isles are usually hostile solitary monsters there are a few tales of dragons that protect lands and people they see as belonging to them and of good human victims transformed into dragons by dark magic. There is some scope for PC dragons within the source material. Dragons are powerful creatures and most are LA races. Two however have been designed for use as PCs from first level, the Drakon and the Wrym. Dragon TraitsThe dragons of the Green Isles most often have fiery or poison breath or sting in their tail. In game terms native Drakons and Wrums have the breath of one of the following draconic ancestries (PHB34): black, brass, copper, gold, green, or red. Alternately, instead of a breath weapon you might have a sting in your tail. Sting: unlike other dragon’s you don't have a breath weapon. Instead you can make a tail attack at will. The tail has a reach of 10ft (1pt). Your attack bonus is your proficiency bonus plus STR. On a hit you do 3d4 poison damage (no save) and +STR piercing damage (min zero). At 7th level your sting's poison damage is raised to 4d4 (5pt). Your damage resistance is to poison damage. WurmsWurms are the most common form of dragon in the Green Isles but don’t match the shape foreigners expect, a wurm is a legless serpent with a dragon head. Wurms prefer to lair in still water, including pools, lakes, and especially magical wells.Wurm Traits * ½ Large Tool Use 1 Dragon. Speed 30 and a swim speed of 30. Natural weapons bite 1d10+STR piercing damage reach 10, tail slap 1d6+STR bludgeoning reach 15, constrict 2d6+STR reach 5 and has the constrict trait (MM320). You are proficient in these attacks. The constrict DC=8+proficiency bonus+STR.Breath weapon as per dragonborn including the matching the resitance.Dragon senses: Darkvision 60ft and at 5th level blindsight 30ft.Scales: natural AC 11+DEX.Amphibious: a wurm can breath both water and air.Serpent: immune to prone condition.DrakonsDrakons are what most foreigners imagine when you say ‘dragon’, four legs, bat-wings, long neck and tail. *½ Large dragon. Tool Use 2. They range from horse-sized to as big as a rhinoceros.Speed 30ft. Languages: Draconic, Common.Core Traits: Breath Weapon: choose one as described for Dragonborn. Bite reach 10ft & Claw reach 5ft: 2d6 piercing 2d4 slashing respectively, unarmed strike 1d2 bludgeoning, but no extra at-tacks. Natural Weapons. At 4th levels natural AC becomes 11+DEX.Core Lesser Traits: Draconic resistance: damage resistance to match breath weapon as per dragonborn. Darkvision 60ft. At 5th level gains Blindsight 30ft.Choose one subrace.Robust Subrace Traits: No ability score adjustments. Poor Flyer: at 1st level wings act as per the feather fall spell except self only and at will. At 6th level gains a flying speed of 40ft and can fly in any armour.Gracile Subrace Traits: -1 Con, -1 Int. At 1st level Fly speed 50ft but unable to fly while wearing medium or heavy armour. After feedback I have added two subraces. A robust subrace with no ability score modifiers but delayed flight and a light boned and flighty gracile subrace that can fly at 1st level.</blockquote>
